(Backup) (Backup) (Backup) 12 months

Lola Cate is ONE! Fastest year ever. Sweetest thing ever. This past year I have so much enjoyed discovering all the ways Lola is different then boy babies. It's been fun to see how she does things/acts in comparison to the boys.  She comes to me often to just to squeeze  my leg and give me a quick snuggle, the boys never did that! 😊
Lola has been walking for atleast a month. 
She just moved to size 5 diapers
She's wearing size 18-24 months cloths but can still wear a 12m dress. Actually sometimes a 9 months dress too. I've learned girls clothing is sized differently then boys. 
Her shoes size is a 4
She still eats like a bird. She prefers breast milk over anything, I feel like, but my body isn't cooperating well anymore. Soon my milk will be gone, unfortunately. I will continue to feed her as long as my body holds out. 
She has whole milk with eat meal and drinks water throughout the day. She loves water. 
Sleeping isn't great. She wakes atleast once a night but occasionally surprises me and sleeps through the night. She does nap well.  No more 13 hour straight nights though. 
Lola says a few words; dadda, momma, no, that, out, hot. 
She points at things and loves to play chase or peepeye still. Picking up rocks and sticks in the yard seem to be fun too.

11 months old

Lola Cate is 11 months old. Another month flew by. This month brought some changes for her! Biggest thing...she's walking!! She is actually really good at it. She's also eating more and more table food. Most recently she really likes broccoli and apples are her new favorite fruit. She loves taco meat and some chicken. She also loves her blueberry pancakes/waffles her Anny fixes her for breakfast.  She isn't a big eater but hopefully that will change soon. Lola loves water! She is waking earlier in the mornings  and not sleeping through the night. Most nights she gets up once. Some nights more. She's cutting molars now so I think that's part of it. She takes two naps during the week for Anny but I'm lucky to get one good one on the weekends. She waves bye. Gives wide open mouth slobbery kisses to mommy and her dolls. Loves baths. Enjoys chewing on nerf bullets. She barks every time she hears another dog bark, especially Eddie. And she also barks after Harley, our cat, meows. She loves her brothers, of course. Lola is such a girly girl. We say it all the time, she's so girly in her mannerisms and her voice. She squeals in excitement. She's Petite but not small. She loves to be "chased" by her brothers. 
Currently she's in 12-18 month clothing-more so on the 18m side and can even fit into some of her 24 month things already. 
She's in a size 4 diaper. Lola takes two bottles of breast milk during the day, about 6 oz each and breastfeeds before bed but my supply is quickly plummeting. I'm just trying to hold on long enough to make it to 12 months. Luckily I have a good back stock. 
I can't believe I'm preparing for her 1 year old birthday already. It's exciting and sad at the same time. Enjoy some pictures from this month below. :)
Broccoli!
