Zara {44 Weeks}

WoW! 11 months flew by. In a blink of an eye we will have a ONE year old. I don't know if I am ready for it but it doesn't matter, time doesn't stop and we better adjust. 

At 44 weeks Zara showed herself way more independent. She walks like a pro and sometimes I would hold her hand to redirect her steps to a safe route (usually away from the stairs) and she will remove her hand from mine :'( and walk away. 

She started babbling new syllables and sounds and tries to imitate the words we say, even though it sounds like plain jebrish we love it. She is still just saying mama, papa and agua. 

Zara's favorite thing to do is to dance ( I am sooo proud). Every time she hears music she will stop anything she is doing to listen and wave her hands in the air while bending her knees and we call that dancing. 

Z is experiencing some separation anxiety, even though she is usually ok with other familiar faces it is hard for her to let go of me. It takes a little while to warm up to other people but she ends up adjusting and has a great time. 

She is still napping twice a day for the most part. I am trying to transition to one long one but she is not there yet. 
Nights are back to waking up only twice to nurse and goes back to sleep. (Yay, more sleep for me) BUT we now co sleep after the second time she wakes up because for some reason I can not explain she won't go back to sleep in her crib. We will work on that later, for now we embrace it and get our sleep however we can get it. 

Next month we will celebrate her FIRST birthday and it will be my last monthly update of Zara, as we move on to document our adventures and new journey with a toddler.
