She started crawling a few short weeks ago, which is always a funny thing because you get so used to plopping baby down somewhere and then suddenly they become mobile and you turn around and there they are. It's a funny feeling.
Our smiley girl turns eleven months old in four days, nearly the big one year! She sleeps on her own now and eats well,...very well in fact. She loves food and I can't imagine that there will ever be a time when she will become a picky eater. I can't seem to get her to accept a bottle and this has been difficult because we stopped two of the breastfeeding sessions--the morning one and the four o'clock one. The morning session just became too hectic with getting Little S to school, driving Seb to work and preparing myself. I can't give her bottles so instead she eats yogurts to replace these feeds. Well petit suisse which in France is a sort of thick creamy unsweetend yogurt (40 percent fat!) and what the pediatrician recommends for babies as a bottle replacement at snack time. I still breastfeed her at night and we do a few short session before she goes down for naps. I hope we can continue this until age two with her eventually taking a bottle in the morning.
There is another backdated post here if you'd like to read it.

She has grown so much this summer and fall!
Wow! Almost a year already. Time really flies.
FWIW - A ate everything around that age. I bragged often about what a great eater she is. Fast forward to 2 and I'm begging her to eat anything. She is such a fussy eater. Things she does like: pate and cheese - really good expensive cheese (e.g. epoisse). Weird child. She also hated bottles, which was a major problem with daycare. She took bare minimum. AT 1 yr she refused them altogether. No problem, I cut them out. Somewhere around 18 months she saw a bottle and now, at 27 months, she really loves her bottle. I know I should ditch it, but it makes her happy. Very strange for the child who wanted nothing to do with bottles the first year of her life.
I know she'll get all picky soon enough *sigh*
