Myanna is turning 11 months old! Which puts her adjusted age at 9 1/2 months. She is doing very well. She got sick again and has been giving me a fit about eating. She is on a bottle strike but I am still trying to get enough in her everyday. It is a battle, unfortunately. I wish she liked to eat... They did the Upper GI series on Monday, 3/12 and found nothing wrong. She is anatomically correct the lab tech told us. Which is terrific news, but just leads us to wonder what could be preventing her from eating. At her age and 16 pounds, she still only drinks 3oz bottles and small bowls of food 3x daily. She is happy and has a lot of energy though which is a good thing. She is now great at crawling and she cruises around the couches to get around. She actually let go yesterday for about 2 seconds before she lost her balance, so she is trying to stand on her own. She talks a lot, babbling that is, and is very vocal. Her gums are swollen terribly and we are really hoping those other teeth will come in soon! She still only has two from 5 months ago! She gave me a kiss on monday too! That was a milestone for me. She was just staring at me and then, smack, she put her lips on mine! It was actually funny and quite moving. I will treasure it. We are planning her big 1 year birthday coming up soon! We are going with a Mickey Mouse theme, she likes him and thinks he is talking to her on the TV and smiles in response.

10 Months Old, Happy Valentine's Day!Myanna will be exactly 10 months old on Valentine's Day! She is a baby with a purpose and definitely on the move! She has developed a tummy and it looks quite funny on her little frame. She has begun to crawl and is happy to get moving around at last. Her eating is still not great, but we are making the calories she needs most days to gain some weight. She did really well in January and got up to 15pounds, 8oz...but we sorta stalled there. Hopefully she will start eating a little more soon and start gaining again. Being on the move also uses up those calories though. Just two days after she figured out crawling, she began to pull herself up to standing. She likes to stand at the couch and the totes we have. She only stays for a couple of minutes, but is getting better each day. Her hair is finally becoming noticeable and it seems to be a dark brown. We just got her 9 month photos taken, a little late because she was ill. Hope to have those back in about 2 weeks and I can post them then. She smiled really great! She babbles a lot but no words as of yet...but technically she is considered an 8 1/2 month old so she still has plenty of time for that. Thanks for everyones prayers while she was sick!
