Weight: I've weighed her the other day (with clothes on) and she is about 23 pounds. She is such a big girl. She has such short arms and legs though :)
Food: She is quite the foodie. This past month she has had fish, gnocchi, spaghetti, shepherd's pie, among other things. She doesn't really have a preference, she likes everything. We usually just feed her what we are eating and she gets a little plate of her own and feeds herself. She is still nursing about every 3 hours. She very much likes her "milky" and always nurses before and after every meal. She also now has her bottom two middle teeth. So she has that cute toothy grin.
Clothes: 12-18 month seems to be where it's at. I'm glad it's getting warmer because long sleeves and pants are just too long, even though it fits her body. She really prefers to just be in a diaper and she absolutely hates sleeping in pajamas. I think she just gets too hot. He usually just put her in a onesie at night.
Sleep: Aaron has been putting her in her crib for naps during the day, but she is still sleeping with us at night. She has not been sleeping very well the last week or so. She's been really fussy and will just toss and turn in her sleep and cry. I'm not sure if it is teething or what, but it has led to some very tired mornings for all of us. She is still nursing at night and probably even more so since she has been having trouble sleeping. I think she nursed 3 or 4 times last night. I'm hoping it doesn't last forever!
Movement: I wish Hensley would just slow down! Not only is she crawling everywhere, but she is also freestanding and she even took two steps yesterday! She cruises all over the furniture and is learning to climb. She adjusts her crawl on the tile to where she is crawling on one foot and one knee and it is super funny.
Product: I think one of our favorite "new" things are some of her toys. She has really started to love playing and loves to put things into things. She has an activity table and she loves to put the balls down the chute and watch them come out the bottom. She also loves her shape sorter and will dump them all out and put them back in. She has found her sister's little babies and loves to carry them around and give them kisses. She is quite the sweet little girl.
Highlight: Her biggest highlight is her two steps the other day, but she also is getting more vocal. She says "mama" and "dada" along with "that". We think she also says "kitty" and she loves to yell and make silly noises at her sister. She still signs "milky" and we've been working on "more", "eat", and "all done".
Taelyn: Taelyn always wants to be around her baby sister. She loves for Hensley to be a part of her night time routine and likes having her in her room to play. She has been very good at sharing and will often give up one of her toys to let Hensley play with it. I can see them becoming good friends even though they get on each other on occasion.
Blessing: Things just seem normal and we have a great routine. Hensley is such a "go with the flow" baby and she is almost always happy. She is very serious and loves to stare and check people out, but she almost never cries. We are taking a quick little vacation in a few weeks and we are excited to have some much need fun with our precious little family.
