Eliza is crawling everywhere and doing it fast! She is pulling up to things and just barely started standing up in the crib and the bath. It makes me nervous because she's still unsteady and can easily get hurt when she tries to stand in these places. She'll be sturdy soon though!
She is nursing only about three or four times a day. She doesn't take milk from a sippy cup very well so we are going to try to transition her off of nursing by giving her milk in a bottle and then wean her off the bottle after that. She definitely prefers to nurse, so hopefully the weaning process isn't too terrible.
Every now and then Eliza will give a big cuddle or a "kiss" (open her mouth and put it up to your face) and it's the cutest thing ever. I make sure to heavily praise her afterwards because I can tell she gets excited about how happy it makes me. She will sometimes say "mama" or "dada" on command.
Eliza has almost no interest in baby food. She likes cut up fruit, sandwiches, cereal, vegetables, quesadillas, beans, noodles, pizza, and anything sweet. She likes to snack on Goldfish and Veggie Straws. She drank from a straw this month! It might seem late, but it was only about the second time she'd ever tried so I was impressed.
Eliza still goes to bed suuuper early, at around 6pm whenever possible. I was hoping to move her bedtime to later by now but she's usually such a wreck in the evenings and it's tough to get her to stay up even that late. Sometimes her naps are pretty good and other times they're terrible, but even when she naps well she still tends to go to bed by about 6:30. She sleeps really well at night and often sleeps through the night. She sleeps with her binky and likes to hold a soft little toy/doll thing. She's usually up for the day around 6 or 6:30.
Eliza is still the best dancer. Any time she hears music she'll start dancing. She loves to roll balls back and forth with us and gets super excited when the boys are playing catch and then let her have a turn. She hates the feel of grass. She goes swimming a lot and doesn't seem to love it, but doesn't hate it either.
I can't believe she'll be 1 in just a month!!! I love this cute, fun girl!
