Well, now my heart has never felt so full! My sweet little someone is growing into such a cool person! At 11 months old, she's taking a few steps on her own, cruises along furniture like no one's business, give her your hand and there's no slowing her down.
She has a list of party tricks that she likes to show off:
peek (resting her head on her shoulder while smiling),
hug (which looks identical to peek, unless she happens to hug something or someone),
sniff (scrunching up her nose and eyes and sniffing),
blink,
clapping,
where's your belly (pats her belly- this one is new. . . she doesn't do it all the time yet)
kiss
pointing
if you ask, "what do you have?"she'll hold it up so you can see it
patting things
tapping toys
stacking two blocks
kicking her legs when you say kick, kick, kick
bouncing
dancing
nodding her head yes
Her favorite foods are blueberries, strawberries, hummus on toast or naan, and sweet peas. She'll pick out the peas from mixed veggies and eat those first every time.
She likes to play at the park. Trying to follow around the bigger kids is her activity of choice. Swings are a little scary currently, unless she's sitting on my lap.
She's going through a shy phase right now. When people, other than me, Dan, or other family try to talk to her, she either tries to climb up my body or snuggles into my neck.
