11 Months Old

One teeny, tiny month short of a full year.

New things in the past month...

• Knows what a cow ("ooooo") and dog ("oo, oo, oo") say, though they kind of sound the same
• Loves to "honk" mommy and daddy's noses
• Pats her head upon command
• Waves at absolutely everything and everyone, which has gotten me into awkward conversations at restaurants and the grocery store where I want to say "No, ma'am, you aren't special, she waves at the wall..."
  
• Standing up very steadily. Sometimes lets go and then realizes she's not holding onto anything, promptly falling to the ground
• Just today started making the "m" sound. Thought this day would never come. Come on, girl, give me a good, loud "mama"!
• Starting to turn into a cuddlebug after 11 months of pushing us away all the time
• Pats us on the back when she's giving us a hug
• Loves to blow kisses and once in awhile will give you a proper kiss on the lips
• Cries when told "no" and seems to know when she's doing something she's not supposed to do
• Shakes her head "yes" and "no" but not always at the right time
• Drinks well out of sippy cup and eats most any table food you give her
• Starts dancing as soon as music comes on (unfortunately she seems to be copying mommy and daddy who are not good dancers!)

Those are the highlights. I just can't believe the next month post will be the big 1 YEAR!
