Yesterday Isabelle turned eleven months old! Here’s the recap:
Has it only been a month since I mentioned she figured out crawling forward? It’s unbelievable that it was such a short time ago. She crawls so quick it feels like she’s been doing it for ages.
Of course which leads to the doggy kibble and how we weren’t quick enough to prevent her from sticking it in her mouth. You know, feeding the dogs is harder now. I put the food down and bring her into the bedroom but she zooms off with this happy squeal towards the dog food. I have to distract her now. She really wants that dog food.
We used Isabelle’s playpen for the first time. Maybe I should put her in there when I’m feeding the dogs! 
But she would scream. Yes she does proper screams now. They’re loud and piercing sometimes. Not at all like the little ladylike polite quiet screams she was doing before.
Yes she would scream and try to climb out because she is a regular monkey with all the climbing she’s doing.
Well in the playpen at least she can hold onto the sides and practice her walking. Yes this month she’s been walking with help. Here’s the video again.
With all the crawling and trying to walk, bath time means more moving and less sitting still to be washed. That’s been fun because now she has bath toys that she actually tries to play with.
This month she got her second tooth. Thankfully it’s on the bottom so I don’t have to worry about teeth on bottom and top meeting for a chomp. I still have the pinching and scratching to worry about. It still hurts but I am so accustomed to it that the other day I looked down and was actually surprised to see I was bleeding.
In fact the pinching has spread. She started pinching my arm. You should have seen the bruise she left.
Which leads me to no. I’m using that a lot with her now. Did I use to? I don’t know. Now it’s No, that hurts! No, don’t touch that! No, don’t go there! Wonder if that’ll be her next word?
Oh yeah, she said her first word! Bubbles!! Video here.
Hmmm…that’s all I can think of. I should be sleeping now anyways. She’ll be awake in 6 hours all happy and babbling. I love our beautiful girl.
Update: I forgot to mention her first ponytail. Yep her first. Looks like I was drunk when I put her hair up. Yes…must work on the whole ponytail thing.
Read month ten.
