What I love about you at 11 months...

Ok, I know this is a month late... my bad. It's been a busy couple of months!

Here's what I love about you at 11 months:

  • You've been sucking you thumb a lot lately, but I guess it's better than a paci.
  • Our dinners at Red Robin - you are so good in the high chair!
  • You learned how to stand up all on your own, without support. Then you just stand there, not knowing what to do next (before you learned how to walk.)
  • You love making waves in the bath by bopping up and down - I just wish you'd stay seated
  • We had a great first Father's Day with dada - we swam a lot and loved on him all day long.
  • You love pushing your car around - you walk good on your own, but you really take off when you have support. You haven't quite learned how to turn it around when you bump into something though.
  • Unfortunately, you love it when Rascal licks you in your mouth - gross!
  • You love holding on and carrying around the "0" from a number puzzle you have. Dad and I say "where's the zero?"
  • You really seem to understand who "mama" and "dada" are - when we say it, you look at us.
  • You went through a really bad stomach bug this month, but you didn't let it slow you down. You almost wouldn't have known you were even sick had it not been for the OBVIOUS signs. :)
  • Even though you can walk on your own, you love to hold our hands and walk, especially around the house.
  • You absolutely love the pool!
  • You started taking 3 out of 4 bottles from a sippy cup - you transitioned really well! You don't drink it all in one sitting like a bottle, but you like to drink some, then play, then drink some more, etc.
  • You are saying "ball" and love to roll it around and play with it.
  • You are so smart - you are actually attempting to put the shape blocks in the holes of the shape sorter - AMAZING!
  • Dad taught you how to make an indian call - you hum and he pats your mouth! So cute.
  • I guess the biggest thing that happened this last month was you learned how to walk. On July 9th, 11th and 14th, you took a couple of small baby steps going in between me and dad. But on the 15th, you did it all on your own and once you started, you didn't stop! And by the next day, it was like you were a pro - you were walking around everywhere!

Besides for turning one, what other amazing things are in store for us next month?
