11 Months

Aimee will be 11 months old this weekend. I can't believe she is almost a year old. She's 8.5 months corrected age. Last week, she weighed 15 pounds 8 ounces and is 27" long. 


  • She's crawling everywhere. Has been for about a month now. 
  • She's pulling to stand. She's been doing it for a while, but not very often. The last week, she's really been pulling up a lot and on everything. 
  • She can say mama. She babbles a LOT and is very talkative. So far, mama is the only real word. 
  • She clapped for the first time on the weekend.
  • She likes to climb on everything and get into everything she can reach.
  • She loves food. Her favourites are yogurt, squash, pears and chicken. She loves the pear squash food from Walmart in the pouch, with the straw attached so she can suck it out.
  • She still drinks Similac Sensitive formula, but we are hoping to be off that soon. It's so expensive.
  • She sleeps from around 8:30pm until anywhere from 9-10am. Some days, she has a bottle around 7. She has 2 naps a day. From 11:30-12:30 and 3:30-5.
  • She went to the Cardiologist last week. She still has a murmur, but she doesn't have to go back until she is 3½ years old unless it starts to cause problems. 
  • Last month, she went to the new ophthalmologist (since we moved) and she is ROP free. Her eyes are +3.50, but the doctor said that babies are naturally +3.00 so her eyes are basically fine. We should bring her to see a regular optometrist around the end of the year to see if that number has changed. She said if it gets worse, then she may need glasses but more than likely it will just get better. This ophthalmologist was really nice and answered our questions really well. When I mentioned that we didn't get good answers from our old one, she knew exactly who I was talking about. 
  • Aimee is getting baptised on August 18. Her godmother is Steph and her godfather is Jordan. 
  • Her birthday party is September 7. I can't believe I am going to have a 1 year old already. This year flew by.
I forgot to add yesterday when I wrote this that she has 2 teeth finally. The bottom 2 front ones. Didn't get her first one until over 10 months old.
This is her first dress from when she was about 6 pounds. Now it is on her doll.
