11months has been a bit rough on us. For one, the constant worrying that she doesn't have any teeth yet. Every cry, fever, midnight feeding (yes those started again), we think could it be she is teething? I have pretty much given up, I figure there is no reason why she should have no teeth, may as well just go with the flow. But every time I see her little gumline, not a hint of redness or swelling, I am a bit disappointed. Not that i expect her to wolf down a steak with one (or two) teeth, but right now she chokes on orange pulp! WTF.
At 11 months, my baby is crawling everywhere super fast. She likes to prop herself up on her knees and play with her toys, and a few times already, she pulled herself to standing. She still says the same few words (mama, dada, nai nai, and yei yei). I try to get her to say xie xie or ai ma ma, but so far no luck. She will shake her hand and wave on command, but really no one can make her do anything she doesn't feel like doing. Such is the life of a baby. I do think she understands me more. She will hand objects to me, smile, then take them back. She even clapped for me one morning. I think she understands when I yell at her (no Olivia, stop scratching!), because she frowns and give me a toothless yell back. It makes me laugh. So many of her antics make me laugh. Sometimes even in the middle of a screaming fit I laugh at her.
Just for our records - crib training has NOT started. Sleep training has NOT started. Paci training has NOT started. Olivia 1, Parents 0.
We are in between illnesses right now. After the second round of antibiotics for her ear infection, she has been in a good mood and back to my healthy playful giggling baby. This is not to say that I don't live in a constant state of fear. Every sniffle and I hold my breaths... It's emotional exhausting. Just last night some crusty eyelashes had me probing her eyes for evidence of red eye. I'm not crazy but at 12:30AM, I swear her eye looked red.
Just woke up from a nap here. It was Monday night and everyone is super tired, but we don't want to skip this tradition at the tail end. She looks a bit surprised here. S and I captioned this photo - what? I'm 11 months old today???
Celebrating my birthday! Olili was very well behaved at my birthday dinner.
Holding a bottled one handed. Showing off.
Just chilling and watching TV with some friends.
