11 months

Ok so apparently I haven't been paying attention to the date lately and my little monkey turned 11 months old this past weekend! It happened so fast I didn't even realize it! Where did last month go? Is Christmas really next week?

So what is my little monkey up to these days?

• She is still not walking by herself but she is doing a great job of standing alone! She can go from sitting on the floor to standing without pulling up on anything.

• She is talking alot more! She loves saying "no, no; MaMa; Dada; and night, night" along with several other words that we just can't understand yet.
• She has two new teeth peeking through on the top!
• I think I finally have meal time figured out with her. She has been such a picky eater! I discovered Yo-Baby yogurt and it is her favorite! I have to mix fruits and vegetables with it but as long as she can taste the yogurt and it's right out of the fridge she loves it. (No warmed up baby food for her! She has to have it cold.)
• She can wear shoes! YAY! I have found two pair that will actually fit on her chunky little foot. But no socks and shoes at the same time. We aren't quite there yet. I am hoping when she starts walking her feet will thin out a little. These little brown shoes are my favorite. They squeak each time she steps. I have a feeling once she is walking everywhere, Daddy is going to take out the squeakers.

• She also got to experience how crazy the holidays can be when we went home for Thanksgiving. She got to meet several family members that she had not met yet. We can't wait to see everyone again at Christmas!
• One of her favorite things to do lately has been shopping. This child loves to ride around in a buggy or her stroller holding some clothes on a hanger. She wants something in each hand. She is such a fun shopping buddy!

• She experienced snow for the first time and was amazed!
