So Smart

Fiona has figured out how to use the snack trap cup to eat her puffs. :) Maggie Mae has also figured out how to eat puffs out of the snack trap cup :(.

On a different note, we think Fiona has developed a latex allergy. Her diaper area looks like a really bad sunburn and is very sensitive. Poor baby. Emily is now wondering if this allergy is contributing to her nasal congestion. I guess she will get tested after he next doctor's appointment (where we will be lectured about how much she doesn't weigh).

Moving and Eating!

Fiona has really been on the move this week. She started to pull up on her own (her crib is now at the lowest level). She also fed herself this week!!!!! Now if we can just get her to weigh more that would be great.

11 months old already!!

Fiona turned 11 months on Sunday. I cannot believe she is less than a month from being a year old. It was a busy month for Fiona.

We went to NY for a wedding and to visit a friend. Fiona got to play with Mae and loved it. New toys and a new friend. What more could a girl ask for? Fiona was amazing on the plane and she adjusted well to sleeping in another place. We had our first non-family babysitter and Fiona was very nice to her. Of course, she charmed everyone she met. The flight attendant even offered to take Fiona off our hands.

We have added avocado, squash, zucchini, and watermelon to Fiona's food rotations. She loves them. These foods are nice because they make it easier to get some texture into Fiona's food.

Fiona has started cutting her top 2 front teeth and they are causing her more discomfort than the bottom 2 did. She also has a cold which we are hoping clears on its own and does not become an infection. SHe is an army crawling machine now and has no problems going from belly to back to sitting to belly to sitting.....such a big girl! Fiona has started pulling herself onto her knees and is interested in pulling to standing. We no longer have an exersaucer as Fiona no longer uses it. When we would put her in it she would bounce like crazy and make so much noise that it started to become counterproductive.

Fiona has started daycare and she loves it. The ladies at daycare love her. Fiona is only taking 2 45 minute naps a day right now and we have adjusted bedtime up significantly. I am very hopeful that she will adjust her naps and sleep longer as she gets more comfortable. I know she will never sleep as well as she does at home but I just want her to sleep longer. She is soooo sleepy and has baby under eye bags :(.

Emily has started thinking about Fiona's first birthday party and Kevin starts pharmacy school on Monday.
