11 Months

Our big girl is rapidly approaching the 1 year mark. As usual we are shocked at how fast time has gone, and frankly pretty amazed with ourselves for making it through our first year as parents. Hobbies of this 11 month old include pushing her laundry basket around the house, climbing the stairs as often as she can (usually with a "can't catch me" grin on her face), and playing with the phone so much she's actually made a few calls. We've also started to inch closer to another milestone: saying buh-bye to both the bottle and formula. She hasn't had a bottle since Sunday night and we've been mixing her remaining formula with cow's milk. Plus she's recently figured out the mystery of the straw, so we are on quite a roll.

Here's our big girl! PS - she was so uncontrollably wiggly for the first set of shots that I had to try again the next day, hence the different hairstyles.

I will remain seated for approximately 8 seconds. Then I'm climbing - can't stop me!


Ok fine, if I have to sit then I'm taking this blanket with me


And now I shall dive off the chair. Wheeeeeeee!


Here's my foot. Have you seen it before?


Stinky!


The best shot I could grab. Hard to photograph this cheeky little monkey.
