11 months!!! Yep, that means only 1 more month to go until the big 1 year mark!!!! This month has been pretty big for Peyton, full of milestones and activities.
Sleep:
Peyton sleeps 12 hours per night currently. We still put her to bed at 8pm and she usually sleeps until 8am. It is WONDERFUL!! We are blessed with some really great sleep right now. One big change this month was going from 2 naps per day down to 1. We thought and thought about making the change, and eventually Peyton essentially told us when it was time. It was getting more and more difficult to get her down for her 2 daily naps (i.e. we would put her in the crib, and she would play sometimes up to 45 minutes before going to sleep). The change actually went smoothly, and she goes down around noon and sleeps for about 2 hours. This, thankfully did not effect her night sleep at all.
Food:
We are having a blast with food this month! The whole feed the same new food for 4 days in a row went out the window (oops!). Now, we feed her almost everything we are eating (sometimes is a picky eater when we put things on her highchair tray, but she likes to eat almost anything off mommy and daddy's spoon or fork) in addition her staples like tofu, green beans, banana, etc. One new item this month was watermelon and cubed ham. What not to love about watermelon right? Peyton agreed. Besides solids, Peyton is drinking a total of 15-20oz of formula per day (usually about 3 bottles). We are excited to start introducing whole milk in a couple of weeks. 
Clothing:
Peyton is currently wearing 12-24 month clothing. Most of the 12 month clothing is getting almost too small, so I anticipate shortly making the move to all 18mo+ clothes.
Milestones/Activities:
-Says "hello" when she see's us on the phone or when she hears the phone ring.
-daddy put up a swing in the cherry tree in the front yard, and this has become one of her new favorite activities (she never took to any kind of swinging until now).
-Standing on her own
-Opening cupboards
-Spent the weekend over in Moses Lake visiting with her great grandma and cousins from Spokane
-Gives kisses
-improved her waving and waves even when she hears someone say "bye bye."
-Starting to understand peek-a-boo
-starting to understand more cause and effect
-banging on pots and pans with spoon
-Plays in kitchen drawers
-Still looooooves the kitty
-Still loooooooves Wheel of Fortune (only show she will sit and actually watch)
-Learned to point with pointer finger
-One of her new favorite toys is balloons (loves to see them at the grocery store)
-Most of her favorite items are not her toys, rather items like remotes, magazines, DVD's

See you next month for her big year update!!!!
