Bryce - 11 months old

Bryce has become such a big boy this month. He doesn't seem like a baby at all anymore. He took his first unassisted steps and has been on the move ever since. He is pretty much on the verge of walking full time. He still crawls a lot, but boy does he want to walk! He FINALLY got his first and then his second tooth. I think he is going to be just like Myla and get them all at the same time. Poor thing! Luckily, he doesn't seem to be too bothered by them. Well, most of the time. This month he switched to cow's milk full time. He didn't even blink an eye when we changed it from his formula. Cha-ching! Saving us lots of money!! Also, he has given up on baby food. The boy ONLY wants real food. I swear he would eat a steak if we gave it to him! So, for a few weeks now, he hasn't had any baby food and only eats small bites of whatever food we can think of to feed him. It's hard coming up with things that I'm not scared he will choke on, but he seems to be care free and can eat anything with only 2 teeth! He LOVES to eat! The only time that guy gets angry and fussy is when he is hungry. Another big milestone this month - he got his helmet off!!! WOOHOO! You would never realize how much you miss a snuggly little baby head. Only one more month and I will have a 1 year old and a 2 year old! WHOAH! And, as you can see from the following pics, momma has her hands full. Boy does NOT sit still!

Toodles!

Myla - 11 months old!

This is the last one before she turns ONE!!!!! Wow, this year has flown by!

Sleeping:  She is back on track with her sleeping schedule. She sleeps from around 8:30pm to 7:00am lately and mommy couldn't be happier! She still needs her night time bottle and to be held by mommy in order to fall asleep and sometimes she wakes up when I put her in the crib, but for the most part she rolls over and stays asleep ALL night. In the morning, she usually just sits and plays in her crib until I go get her and on the rare occasion she wakes up, stands up, and cries for me to come get her.

Eating: She has tried all kinds of foods this past month and is definitely eating about 70% "real" food and probably 30% baby purees. She loves scrambled eggs, waffles, green bean puree, bread, pea puree, corn, mac-n-cheese, hot dogs, and especially PUFFIES! If you grab the bottle of puffies, she instantly smiles. She won't let you eat anything anymore without feeding her. She has had her own McDonald's happy meal and loves french fries like her mommy.  She also loves to share ice cream with you. On to bigger news, she ONLY drinks real MILK now!!! NO MORE FORMULA!!! We switched over at 10 months and never looked back. She instantly liked milk and we didn't have any problems switching her over. SO HAPPY!!!!

Milestones: Myla can walk!!! She is still lazy and only does it when she wants to, but she can definitely walk. It's pretty cute too! She seems so tiny and wobbly to be able to walk! This was the biggest milestone this month along with starting real milk. She doesn't have any more teeth, but I'm sure they are coming. She also was sick again this month. She had pink eye, a sinus infection, and a serious few days of bad eczema. Poor baby girl has had a runny nose for weeks. She definitely has allergies as well.

Things She Loves: She loves to play with her little laptop and her red car again. It's funny how she stopped playing with them for a month or two and now has rediscovered them. She loves to take off every single DVD from the bookshelf and throw them on the floor....haha. She has become attached to a little pink bunny at Nana and Nanny's house and runs/crawls for it every morning. At my parents house, she has fallen in love with the green four-wheeler and loves to push it around and has even learned how to get on it by herself.

Pics: 

Only one we could get with monkey this month!

Little DIVA is tired!

WOW...the change is incredible!

Man, these monthly photos are soooo hard to do now! She does NOT want to sit still! I can't believe how big she is now though and that she can climb in to her chair all by herself and even knows how to rock it.
