More cute Munkey Pics

Munkey is almost 11 months and she seems to have already grown since Mom left on Monday. We've been making her eat like it's her job and I think she might have put on some weight finally. We'll know in February for sure when she goes in for her 12 month check-up.

We've had such a tough time feeding her. She's apparently allergic to everything. We tried just the tiniest bit of peanut butter once and never again! Recently she has been able to eat french toast bits, even though it seemed like she was allergic to eggs for a while. I'm hoping the allergies fade so that she can eat more dairy someday. If not, we'll make due. Here are her menu items right now: peas, finely chopped raisins and dates, applesauce, oatmeal, squash, french toast, non-salt saltines, Cheerios, broccoli, and she ate some kiwi this week. She's not a huge fan of sweet potato but we keep trying different forms of them, like mashed up in little oatmeal balls.

After Nanna left, Munkey decided she didn't want to take naps any more. However she is just starting to pass out now more in the car and while eating her bottle, probably from the exhaustion. The last few days we've been skiing and snowshoeing. I think she gets the best sleep in her ski trailer, it takes her about 5 seconds to go to sleep and even if the ice/snow is crunchy and loud and the ride is bumpy she keeps snoozin'. It's works great for me too.

Munkey B is so friendly. She loves to cuddle and coo and wiggle all over us. She likes it when we sing songs, especially ones she can "Jiggy" to. Also she likes to be held while you dance around the room with her and she likes it when you bounce her on your lap or let her jump in your lap while you singing hip-hop songs.

Here are some photos from the last two weeks. She's so big!

She is very sweet! Wish we could be there to play with her--our kids talk about her all the time. She's going to be so big when we see her next (well, at least in age--there's something about this family and undersized kids--I'm still waiting for S-Boogie to get over 40 pounds). Hopefully after she turns one the food thing will get easier for her too.
