1. C is approaching 11 months. I can't believe she's almost 1!!
2. She officially has two teeth. Is starting to stand unassisted, says uh-oh and mo (more) with purpose. She says mama and dada but I'm not sure if she says it with purpose yet.
I think she's trying to drop down to 1 nap but still needs 2 naps so that's kinda annoying. Also, she appears to be self weaning from bottles.
3. She loves table food. Is a huge fan of meat (steak, chicken, ground turkey) and carbs. She could never eat another veggie in her life and be happy. Her absolute favorite food is probably mandarin oranges.
4. She and Ari get a long great, surprisingly. They share well and she's in love with him. I'm sure he will start to get annoyed with her but for now, they are best buds!
5. Her party is the Saturday before her bday (the 17th). Lots of family and friends at our house. Should be fun!
New skill/what are they up to: Standing unassisted for a bit, cruising along furniture, pulling up on everything and crawling everywhere. He just started dancing a couple weeks ago. He can take like a half step before falling lol. His teeth are coming in so fast. He's already up to 8!
How's table food going: He hasn't had that much because I can't remember what B was eating at this age. He loves avocado and cheese and is kind of meh on black beans. I was going to make a post about table foods. What are other babies eating?
How do they interact with your 2012'r? Pretty well most of the time. They like crawling on each other lol. B mostly takes toys away from him and knocks him over. But, he also loves making W laugh.
Party plans? I think we might do a baseball theme because his birthday is close to opening day. It will just be family.
New skills: he's been walking for over a month now, but is getting fast, he claps, waves, says uh-oh, and he also says dada, but without purpose. He's into everything, and loves playing ball. He also loves following B around and trying to do whatever he's doing. He's got 3 teeth right now, and the 4th is about to pop through. I think we are moving to one nap too. He's tired in the morning, but he just won't go down, so he goes down the same time as B. Which means I can sometimes get a nap on the weekends
He looooves food. I haven't found anything this kid won't demolish. I hope he stays like this and doesn't turn into a picky toddler.
They get along great. Sometimes he'll steal B's cars, and he gets a little upset, but overall they are great together.
We're doing a lil man/mustache bash on March 5th. Just immediate family and friends coming. We are doing his1 yr pictures this Wednesday, and I think he's going to devour his smash cake!
He's trying to pull up but carries a lot of weight in his legs/butt so is having issues lol. He sits and gets around slowly by scooting on his butt. Still hates being on his tummy for longer than a minute so doesn't get much time on it.
He loves all food. He eats a full bowl of purées a day and then I've started finger foods for another meal. I don't see him falling down the weight growth chart anytime soon.
They love each other. He's especially fond of kisses and hugs and grabbing her hair.
Haven't thought too much about it yet. I'm thinking of doing it early when we are in KS for the 4th of July and if I do it will have some sort of nautical theme.

Age: 8 months
New skill/what are they up to: still no signs of crawling or pulling up, but he is starting to attempt scooting on his butt. Haha. He pivots all around on his butt and sometimes gets a few inches. He rolls everywhere though.
How's table food going: I still do mostly purees. The only non purée we do are puffs, mum mum, and banana. We just hold it and let him take bites. He eats a whole banana in a sitting and does 5oz of purée and 2 mum mums for each meal. It's insane.
How do they interact with your 2012'r? Great. He loves her. He does tend to pull her hair though...haha.
Party plans? It'll be at our house and a pirate theme. That's about all I know.
New skill/what are they up to: She can stand up on her own without pulling up on anything. So close to walking but not there yet. Getting into everything. Just learned how to open cabinets.
How's table food going: She eats everything as long as it isn't a choking hazard. It is so nice since Evan refuses everything.
How do they interact with your 2012'r? They love each other so much.
Party plans? Her party is on Saturday. Can't believe my baby girl will be 1 next week. We are having a small party with just family at the house. My mom is flying in on Wednesday
She tried pizza for the first time last night. Licked all the topping off (tomatoes, parmiggiano, ricotta), then ate the crust.
C is 7 months. He's mastered sitting and literally does a downward dog but will not move his arms for crawling. He scoots and rolls everywhere he wants to be.
We're doing pretty well with food. Up to three meals a day. He can use his pinchers for Cheerios and scrambled eggs.
H and C are obsessed with each other. They want to be in each other's faces nonstop.
No party plans yet other than something super small with just family.

Age: Almost 10 months
New skill/what are they up to: She is crazy. She is pulling up and creeping along everything. She is a pro with walking toys. Walking is not too far in the future at this point. Eek!
How's table food going: I did BLW so she eats pretty much everything. At this point we just feed her what we are eating. She is pretty good about eating everything.
How do they interact with your 2012'r? She thinks he is the funniest person on the planet. He likes her a lot but he is really rough with her. I keep having to remind him that he can't lift her up.
Party plans? It is going to be the Saturday after her birthday. Passover is super late this year, so that works out well for party planning. Future years might be rough with a mid April birthday.
How's it going? As they are approaching 1 (or just past) how are things these days?

How do they interact with your 2012'r?
Party plans?
Age: 8 months New skills: crawls, pulls up, balances, trying to take steps, cruising Table food: just purées (gags with puffs or mum mums) but will suck down a pouch on her own. 2 meals a day 2012: pulls her hair a ton, adores her and thinks she's hilarious Bday: planning a Breakfast at Tiffany's theme
New skill/what are they up to: he is so close to walking. He takes a few steps and then decides to crawl. He says; mama, dada and hi. He does "so big", waves, blows kisses and claps. He just learned to give hugs by resting his head on you and that's the best, I love it.
How's table food going: it's going ok. He hasn't had any more allergic reactions but we are still avoiding; grains, dairy and egg per his doctors. He just isn't that into solids either. I try so many things and he will eat a few tiny bites and then turn his head like he's done. He also gags really easily. Sometimes he will eat most of a pouch or a few slices of veggies from our soup or some beans. He did eat one of Lil's veggie straws and he was proud of that. I'm not really sure where to go from here. Is this normal?
How do they interact with your 2012'r? They are so funny. He wants everything she has. She will set up some intricate tea party and he will just crawl over and demolish the entire thing and then laugh. She can get pretty frustrated because they have very different personalities. They love each other so much though.
Party plans? Very small party. I'm not sure of a theme yet, maybe alphabet or something with music. He loves to sing and dance!
New skill/what are they up to: He is crawling all over the place and waves to absolutely everyone who comes and goes at daycare. He's like the daycare ambassador. Lots of waving and he says 'buh bye, mama, ball, and possibly hi. He signs milk, food, more, water and all done. He gives the sloppiest kisses and tries to imitate blowing kisses.
How's table food going: He's a pro. Some days he tanks back food and other days he doesn't have much. Mostly he's a good eater but I'm having a hard time getting him to eat veggies. I can't wait until he can eat a pouch on his own. The sippy cup throwing is going to make me lose my mind. He will take 2 sips and throw it on the floor. Every time. It's maddening.
How do they interact with your 2012'r? He absolutely adores his sister and lights up as soon as he sees her. He's always trying to get in on whatever she's playing with. Madison generally does well but does get annoyed when he wants to play with something that he could ruin. She does lots of imitating us and telling him no and that something isn't nice but her voice is much more stern.
Party plans? Had one. Very small, just family. On Sunday I have smash cake pictures
New skill/what are they up to: lots of smiles and sounds! Loves his hands and feet. Nothing too physical yet. We are working in sitting. He doesn't love tummy time.
How's table food going: none yet but he is interested and grabs for my food. We will wait until 6m and start oatmeal than purées
How do they interact with your 2012'r? He loves them! He tracks them all over the room and stares and smiles at them. He scores his brothers and wants to join in the fun and chaos!
Party plans? Will share with k and m but will do a small family party with cake closer the his date
How's it going? As they are approaching 1 (or just past) how are things these days? Things are Ok, both kids are just back to back sick. This freaking time of year!
Age: 10 months
New skill/what are they up to: Standing unassisted. She can take one or two steps, but isnt ready to walk yet. they are very short and quick while cruising and letting go for one or two steps and grabbing on to something else.
How's table food going: OK, i neeeeed to get more ideas on what to feed her instead of just purees. SHe had mac n cheese the other day and loved it. Avacados were just so so.
How do they interact with your 2012'r? She loves him so much.
Party plans? Mermaid party next month. Cannot believe it.
