Fiona loves to eat food....ALL THE TIME!! She gets vitamins in her juice with a sliver of toast while we change her diaper. For breakfast she eats 1/2 an egg with cheese, a piece of toast, 3/4-1 cup of fruit, a smoothie with 4 oz of yogurt, prunes, and some fruit puree (along with probiotics). At home she gets to snack on raisins, puffs, cheddar bunnies, cherrios. For lunch she eats whatever daycare gives her or a FULL plate of food. She drinks a cup of milk before nap. After nap she eats a Kashi bar and some fruit or some more raisins, bunnies, cheerios, puffs. For dinner she eats another FULL plate of food followed by another full cup of milk before bed.
Yesterday Emily was preparing dinner and Fiona reached over and helped herself to a tomato. She liked it so much that she took a second one. This morning she wanted more while Emily was making her lunch. She is funny when she eats the tomatoes. When the tomato pops, Fiona gets seeds everywhere. Fiona also ate some red bell pepper and lettuce. She liked the red bell pepper but was NOT a fan of the lettuce.

Fiona is not very good at laundry
As you can see by the pile on the outside of the basket, laundry for Fiona is best celebrated by sitting in the basket and throwing things out of the basket. Fiona got mad when Emily tried to remove her from the basket so pictures were taken instead.
Fiona may not be very effective at laundry but she is very good at grocery shopping and unloading. While at the grocery yesterday, Fiona recognized the box of nilla wafers (cookies) and graham crackers. She expressed her recognition by grunting and pointing until the box was opened and a cracker was provided. She munched on the cracker for the rest of the grocery trip and thoroughly enjoyed herself. Upon returning home, Fiona used her laundry skills to help unload the groceries (which was actually helpful this time).
Over the weekend Fiona also went to the library and played with some of the other kids at the library. Mostly Fiona wanted to throw books from the alligator bookshelf but she did chase a little girl for a few minutes (and was very tickled with herself).
Fiona no longer wants to be fed yogurt or oatmeal so we have started making smoothies with her yogurt, some fruit, and prunes. Gotta keep the fiber going.

A Few Updates
We haven't been very good with movies lately but eventually those will go up. In the movies you will see Fiona:
booty dancing
crawling up the stairs
making silly noises with daddy
being cute
Yesterday Kevin got out his Cheerios for breakfast and Fiona indicated that she wanted some. Today, she did the same thing with more enthusiasm as soon as he got the box out of the pantry. I think she likes honey nut cheerios.
Last week Fiona brought home a stomach bug which she gave to mommy and daddy. She followed the stomach bug with an outbreak of hand, foot, mouth (which she also got from daycare) which thankfully did not appear in mommy or daddy. With her sick time Fiona went to the library to play for the first time and loved it. She watched the other kids for awhile and then played with them. She was doing great until she noticed the shelf of videos. That is when mommy decided it was time to leave.
Everyone is feeling better and we are looking forward to some family time over Thanksgiving.

Fiona updates
Here is a post of 12 month statistics from the doctor and a picture to go with it:
height: 29 50th percentile
weight: 17# 5.5oz 5th percentile
head: 17 3/4 50th percentile
New foods:
Organic Whole Milk
yogurt***
asparagus
mild cheddar cheese***
parmesan cheese
butter
cinnamon
probiotics
Fiona LOVES her milk. She insists on half to a full cup at night and then is expecting it first thing when she wakes up. It feels like we have created a milk monster.
*** Maggie Mae and Fiona are now besties. Maggie Mae circles Fiona's highchair (while whining) impatiently waiting for food to be thrown to the ground.
New "tricks":
shaking head yes (nodding)
clapping
saying: tuka, tuka, tuka, tuka, tuka
touching mommy or daddy's lips and then touching own so that we will make
noises with her (not sure how to describe but video will be posted this weekend
to demonstrate)
walking with Daddy's help (towards the Mt Dew bottle---gotta have the correct
motivation)
smiling if flashlight is shined on face like there is a camera
Fiona sits and stands like a pro now (she even squats). She is really close to standing on her own. She can do it for a few seconds here and there if she doesn't think too hard about it.
We have moved into size 3 diapers overnight and are waiting for the box of size 2's to finish before moving to size 3's all the time. Fiona is pretty much out of 9 month clothes. There are still some onesies that fit but the pants are a little small these days. Fiona is loving daycare. She gets excited when we walk to the front door and is fascinated with the kids when we get into her room. There is a biter in her room and she got bit on her toe during lunch the other day (which apparently did not go over well).
The cholestyramine paste seems to have helped the acid burns. We are hoping to try some foods again and see if we can proceed without the acid burns returning.
Fiona got lots of neat toys for her birthday but that will be a different post. We hope to get pictures and videos posted this weekend. Things have been a little crazy at the Denehy house lately.

One Year Old
I cannot believe it......Fiona is ONE YEAR OLD today. It has gone so fast. Here is Fiona's an update to her list of accomplishments:
crawling like a maniac
insisting on finger foods while she is being fed
a pro at drinking from the straw cup (although she still flicks it when we aren't watching)
talking up a storm
pulling up
chasing cats and dogs
making music with metal bowls
making music with her music toys
getting good air on her toys
still eating everything she is not supposed to
trying to crawl down the stairs
outlets
crawling under tables
bringing blankie out of crib
pooing acid that burns her butt
not napping at daycare
possible latex allergy or sensitivity
We have slowed down on the food additions but have added whole wheat pasta, green bean chunks (which she loves but give her gas), avocado chunks, puffs (LOVES LOVES LOVES these), squash. I have wanted to add more things but she has a raw butt so I don't want to try until that clears up.
Fiona goes for her one year appointment tomorrow. I am fully confident we will be placed on the failure to thrive list due to her weight but I am not that worried. I think she has started to gain more weight in the past week or 2 and I know her appetite just shot up last week so she is taking in more calories now. I also know the addition of milk and its fats as well as cheese and yogurt will help with the weight. She is just soooo active that she has no desire to eat sometimes, especially if we are in an unfamiliar place (she just gets too distracted).
She is meeting all the developmental milestones that I would expect, is healthy, happy, and has regular diaper activity. I know the weight will come in time but I think she will just be a slender baby (and CUTE).

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).
