11 Months

Your 11 month post is VERY LATE. We had a very rough start to your 11th month. Just before you turned 11 months you got really sick. You ran a high fever for 12 days straight. You coughed, had a runny nose, and your voice was hoarse. We went to the doctor and found out that you had a severe ear infection. After a week you were still not better, and you broke out in a horrible rash all over.They did blood work and your platelet count was 80,000. It should have been over 300,000. They reaslized this was caused by the constant high fever. After several more trips and blood work you finally were diagnosed with Hystophylis Influenza. It is a bacterial infection that takes over the nose.

You learned so many new things over the month. You got a baby doll named Girl while you were sick. You feed her a bottle and play with her all the time. You can stand up all by yourself now. You will take a few steps here and there, but you are still not walking. You are suck a good girl. You started sleeping all night in your bed again. You wouldn't while you were sick.
You also started imitating us! You love to wear a necklace while you are playing. You eat pretty much anything we eat, but still will not eat meat. That is ok though, because Mommy doesn't really like meat either. You still do everything with your left hand. I can't believe how fast you are growing. You love to laugh and smile! You have such a personality!

10 Months

I can't believe in two short months my precious baby will be 1 year old. It seems like everyday you change, learn new things, and get bigger and bigger. They baby days are over for you. You think you are such a big girl now. It truly amazes me how quickly you learn new things. I hope this continues for you forever. You are our precious gift from God. The best thing that has ever been given to us. Your smile lights up our lives. You are such a precious little girl. You know what "NO" means and you try to be smooth and get us to smile after you get in trouble. This is just hilarious to me but I am trying to be tough and not let you see me laugh! When you start walking you will be ready to potty trained. For about 3 months you have known when you had a wet diaper and feel of it. Lolly bought you a potty chair and we already practice. You will sit on it forever, but so far no tinkle.

You have the most outgoing personality in the world. If someone sits down beside us when we go out to eat you immediately put on a show until they say something to you. You smile at everyone. You are the quickest crawler I have ever seen. It is like you are running you are so fast. I still love when you call the dogs. You also call anyone who you want like a dog. So smart!!!!

You crawl everywhere.

You talk so much. All the time.

We are about to start your first swimming lesson in a couple of hours.

You went for your 9 month visit and you weigh 20 lbs 2oz. and are 28 1/2 inches long. Dr. Farr said you could start having real food such as potatoes, peas, and green beans! You are a super happy baby! You haven't slept well since the storm. I think it really messed your schedule up. You love to walk with us helping you. I really thing you will be walking in the next month.

You still only take 6 oz of formula, but will rarely take a bottle. When you do you never take all 6 ozs.

You are wearing 6-9 month clothes.

You wave at everyone, call the dogs, patty cake, tell people to come here.

You are a talker. You say dada , mama, lolly, sissy, Bob Bob, pop, dog, book, bye, hi and more.

The time since you were born has been the best days of my life! You are a wonderful baby! We love you so much! Your smile brightens my day. I can't imagine life before you.

Baby Bond Nursing Cover Review

Baby Bond Nursing Covers are designed to cover mom, not her baby. Moms are able to keep their little love uncovered while they still stay covered themselves. Since the babi is not covered i is able to benefit from the infinite opportunity to make eye contact, interact, and communicate.

Baby Bond comes in three styles: original, flex and couture! These are very stylish and perfect for a mom on the go! Baby Bond was created by a mom who was at home feeding her new baby one night. She envisioned a product that would cover mom but not baby, so she could still have contact with her child while feeding. The next morning she was up sewing and creating this perfect product for mommies everywhere!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Sick Baby

Sunday morning when we woke up Sagey acted like she didn't feel good. The rest of the day she was fine. Around 11 P.M. she started screaming and crying and didn't stop until after 9 the next morning. I felt so bad for her, but nothing I did helped her. I stayed home with her all day and finally last night she started to feel better. She actually slept all night for the first time in a while!

She has had so many milestones in the past few weeks! She can sit on her own now! She also has 2 new teeth at the top! Robyn bought her a walker a few weeks ago and she gets around the house very well in it! She reaches for us, holds on when she doesnt want to do something, and is constantly grabbing for things. She wants to hold on to everything. It amazes me how quickly babies learn new things!

6 Months

Where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday you were sleeping all day still and couldn't do much at all. Now you want to be up and going all the time. You never want to sit down. Daddy has spoiled you rotten. Since it is so cold Daddy hasn't been working and you stay home with him everyday. I think your days are spent being held and walked around. When I get home you laugh and smile each time you see me. I love seeing that face. You still only have 2 teeth. You love to roll over and over and over. You want to stand up by yourself all the time. A few days ago you took a few steps while holding onto Lolly's hands. You can hold your bottle on your own and love to make noises. I know you are mine but I still think you are the most precious child I have ever met! I love you so much! Here are some things about you this month:

You still only drink 6 oz. of formula.

You weight 17.6 lbs and you are 27 1/2 inches tall.

You love to poke your lips out and make noises.

You want to wave all the time!

You started eating stage 2 baby food. You are not a big fan of the meat yet.

You still need to have your blankee by your face to go to sleep, no matter what time of the day or night.

You are wearing size 3-6 month clothes.

You eat Baby Mum Mum teething crackers. You love to feed them to yourself!

Fun Baby

Tonight you have been so much fun! I sometimes think that if there were people peeping in the window watching Daddy and me they would probably think we were crazy. We played a little tickle game with you tonight. You laughed so hard! It brought tears to my eyes! Then you of course had to stand up for a while. That is your favorite thing to do right now. When I hold you or put you on your belly you rock back and forth constantly.

When you finished eating your pears you laughed for a long time. When we weren't paying attention to you , you would squeal with all your might until we looked. Then you would laugh. You did this so long and so hard that it brought tears to your eyes. You didn't mind. You just kept on playing.

Tonight as I rocked you and looked at you I realized how fast you are growing and how quickly it is going by. I remember while I was pregnant thinking I couldn't wait for you to walk and talk. Now I just want to soak in every single memory. I can't believe in lesss than a week you will be 6 months old. You are my first baby. You are teaching me how to be a mommy. I hope I don't let you down.

My Precious Love

This week Sagey has started to eat her Mum Mum teething crackers. She loves to feed them to herself and does not want to share. Tonight she laughed at me really loudly for 20 minutes. She has also started holding her bottle more, waving, and holding onto me when I try to put her down. Robyn keeps her during the day since he isn't working right now. I love that she can stay at home in the mornings and doesn't have to get out in the cold. She loves being with her daddy and he takes such good care of her.

Oliver's Labels Review

Oliver's Labels are made from high -performance, waterproof, and scuff-proof materials. These labels can be used in the dishwasher, microwave, fridge, freezer, and outdoors. The clothing labels can even be washed in the washing machine and dried, how great is that? These are the perfect label to make sure that your child's belongings make it home safely from daycare, school, Grandma's, shopping, or anywhere you may go! The labels are super cute and one of the best things is they have a Found-It tracking system! A special number can be added to labels. If an item is lost the person who finds it can go online, type in the unique code, and find the owner!
I recieved a trial pack of Oliver's Labels and I am so excited! These are the perfect labels for any mommy! I love that I can put labels on the clothes that Sagey wears to daycare, especially since sometimes her clothes are lost there! With these super cute labels we can make sure all of her belongings make it back home each time she goes!
The mini labels are wonderful for pencils, pens, and baby spoons. As a first grade teacher I have problems with students losing pencils a lot. These labels are great for parents to put on school supplies!
I am very pleased with Oliver's Labels. I would recommend this product to any parent who is trying so hard not to lose their child's belongings. Check out Oliver's Labels, you will be glad you did!
