11 months old!

This is really going too fast. I wish there was a way to slow time down!

Lucy Jo turned 11 months old today. She has had a very busy month. We have been to the DR several times this month for weight and ear infection related issues. As for her growth issues. We don't have any answers, except to say that her blood doesn't indicate any problems. She is gaining weight at a better pace now but her height is still slow. I really am not worried about it much. I just think she's a little petite girl. Lucy had been dealing with ear infections this month, going through two rounds of antibiotics. Still not sure if it is all gone yet, but we have to go to the DR to have her checked out again. (Like we haven't been there enough?!)
Lucy has been reaching some important milestones this month(another reason not to be worried about her size). About 3 weeks ago, she began walking independently. No help, standing up from the middle of the floor and taking steps. Now she walks everywhere! And gets into things! She also discovered that she can get up the stairs pretty quickly, like before mom notices, scary! Lucy Jo is also sporting 2 more teeth, making it 4 in all. These teeth mean that Lucy has been enjoying a bigger variety of food, and boy, does she like food! In this food adventure we have discovered that Lucy is allergic to eggs. So we will be avoiding those for her for a couple of years. We have also discovered that Lucy LOVES the pool, she is a natural fish (well, if I let her actually swim!). Finally, Lucy is becoming quite proficient in her signs. She uses please, more, and all done (which works for night night and good bye too). I am pretty sure that in the last few days she has even attempted to say please while signing it, making please one of her first words! Before Mama and Dada- such a polite little girl!
