11 Months Old

Yesterday Emory turned 11 months old. She has really changed over the past two months or so and is looking more and acting more like a toddler.

- She is still wearing a size 3 diaper

- She wears 6-9 month, 9 month, and some 12 month clothes, which are still a little big.

- She wants to eat whatever Bradley and I are eating

- She gives hugs and kisses which I adore

- She has learned to drink from a straw

- She is walking more and more, but is still a little wobbly at times, especailly when wearing certain shoes

- She loves her stuff animals and her blankie bear and gives them big hugs when she sees them

- She loves to point at something and say "dat" and then wait for us to tell her what it is she is pointing at

- She can say daddy, dog, dat (that), oh, iwuvu (I love you), hello, hi, bye, mamamaa (mommy) and I think duck.

- She has started to pitch little fits when she does not get her way but is starting to learn that those are not going to work!

- She already understands the concept of the telephone and puts her shoes, toys, etc. to her ear and says hello. This is our new favorite game to play.

This was this past weekend at our hotel in Fredericksburg. She loved spinning around in this desk chair. She then decided she would stand up in the chair. This was her expression when I told her to sit down.

She did not listen! This is her expression thinking she got away with standing in the chair.
