Size:
She can still fit 9 month tops but we mainly dress her in
12 month or 12-18 months clothes. I think this is where she’ll be for a while
since her growth has finally started to slow down a bit.

Favorites:
Food- BREASTMILK!
We have introduced “solid” foods. She’s had these foods in
some form or another: avocado, kale, beets, strawberries, banana, apples,
carrots, yellow squash, sweet
potato (probably her favorite), carrots, broccoli, wild blueberries, and
clementines. Majority of these were in her smoothie for the day that she loved
to drink out of her cup (without a sippy top) and the rest was steamed.
We’ve been giving her the food on her tray and waiting for
her to feed herself, but she prefers for us to give it to her in a spoon or for
her to “spoon feed” herself.
Overall, she is still very into BREASTMILK as her main
source of nutrients right now and
we are very happy about that. I know the “solid food” experience for her right
now is just...well an experience. She’s gradually getting more into it so we’ll
see.

Book- “Guess who?” and “Peek a –“ books
have been her favorite because they have little mirrors that she gets to look
at herself in. Super cute books and I would recommend it!

Song- I have to say her favorite song is
the “Small potatoes” theme song! Apparently, any song her dad sings her is her
favorite because he incorporates her name into every song. She just smiles in
awe! If she’s upset or sad though, singing small potatoes is MONEY!

| Play date with her friends Lauren and Ellasyn on 5/10/2013 |
Toy- Her favorite toys have to be her
magnetic ball toys. They are meant for pre-school age but she is so intrigued
by them and loves connecting the magnets. Pretty astounding! Grandma Dorough
brings her toys when we see her and it doesn’t matter what it is, she
automatically loves it.
Non-toy toy- EVERYTHING!!! Grabby hands!
She loves these Asian jello cups that I put in the freezer. She actually “army
crawls” for it!
 |
| Fun at Gymboree! She loves it! |
Time of day- If you can catch her in the
morning, that’s probably the best! She sleeps so well (most of the nights) and
when she wakes up, she is in the best mood! Although, she also loves when her
daddy comes home too.
TV show- Anything “Small potato” related. I
showed her Yo Gabba Gabba and she isn’t a fan.
Thing to giggle at- She loves playing peek-a-boo
and will actually cover her face up with the blanket herself! Peek a boo is a
big hit but lately any funny noise will make her belly laugh!
Firsts/Milestones:
- words? Yeah...our baby girl is
a babble queen! She has already said the following: ma, na, da, ba, la à and in various combinations. Here is a video of her
mimicking me say “Owwwieee”...Ok not an actual word but she’s very into
repeating things now!
 |
| Such a daddy's girl...she will scream dada all day long...and not once will she say mama. She use to though! :/ |
- Sitting is going so well! She now can go from a flat
tummy position into a full seated position. Amazing and strong core!
 |
| She had so much fun with her Gma Dorough when she came to visit! |
- Estella is still teething! I got a glance of her gums
and they are swollen with white bulges! Looks so painful! Our poor little baby!
But she’s dealing with it so well!
-Here are some videos of our past month (+/- a couple
weeks) to show you how much we’ve enjoyed our life with our baby girl:
