I am going to attempt to finish 9-11 months (that's 3 blogs!) this weekend in order to have them done before Elli's first birthday! Not sure if I can do that or not... We shall see. The pictures may be a little more scattered:) I can't believe she will be ONE on Thursday!
Watch Elli Grow!
July 1st-July 31st
Weight: 15lbs 3oz
Sleeping Patterns: Napping 10-11:30 and 2:30-4. She is starting to sleep a lot better again! Praise the Lord!
Eating Habits: Elli eats all three meals with us. I nurse her before she eats food. I also nurse her around 6am, 3-4pm, and right before bed.
New Foods:maple syrup (7.2), carrots (7.2), cheese (7/4), taste of edamame (7.9) taste of pineapple (7.10), honeydew melon (7.17), watermelon (7.20), green beans (7.22)
New accomplishments: Truly crawling the first week of July, picked up cheese and put in her own mouth (7.6), turning pages in a board book, pulling up on things, taking steps while we hold her hands, picking up a ball with one hand. She turns things over and over in her hands analyzing every part.
Special memories: First 4th of July/First Baseball game/First Fireworks show (she didn't even cry!) First trip to Florida to see Uncle Joshy in Miami (July 9-12). It was a short trip so we did not have time to drive up to Brevard, but Great Grandma and Grandpa Klinect made the drive down so that Elli could meet them (7.10)! Pa, Nana, and Michelle come visit us in Wake Forest (7.23-26), and Hattie Poole was born on July 3rd! Elli's BFF!
Nickname: Didn't write any down again this month! Ahh

Meeting Hattie Clark
Elli's little BFF. Hattie's parents (our dear friends Matthew & Ashley) found out Hattie was coming the day Elli was born! So they were kindred spirits from the start:)
