Beatrix 11 Months

Beatrix is eleven months old!  We spent the last month feeding her as much as we could and it paid off.  She gained about a kilogram!  So she went from below the first percentile up to the seventh!  For those interested, coconut oil has a lot of calories in it.  It is also fairly easy to mash up and add to any baby food.  
She now wakes more during the night to eat then ever, which is a pain.  I started nursing her every hour and a half, so it was almost like she was a newborn again.  I didn't quite feed her that often in the middle of the night but I was up nursing her about three times a night.  I'm just glad it paid off and she is gaining.  Hopefully we can transition her to more table food and she will continue to gain weight at the same time.

Besides eating, Beatrix started walking along furniture.  She even let go for a second here and there.  I don't think she is very close to walking, walking though.

What a challenge. Hope she settles into sleeping better again soon!
