11 months old!

Blakely turned 11 months old this past Monday. I can't believe I am planning her 1st birthday party already! The time has flown!

So, Little Miss Wiggle, what are you up to these days?

**You still weigh about 17.5 pounds, so you are a tiny little thing. Hopefully the pediatrician won't think I'm starving you when we go for your well-child appointment next month!
**You are walking about 40-50% of the time...you'll start off cruising, then take off walking before you decide it's faster just to crawl to your destination!
**You laugh and giggle all the time!
**In between laughing and giggling, you squeal at such high octaves that only dogs should be able to hear you!
**You still love Baby Einstein, but you're pretty much done with your Exersaucer. In fact, you've learned how to crawl out of it when you're tired of being confined!
**You're still a snuggler.
**You make clucking noises all the time. Even after you give us kisses - almost like you're trying to make your kisses "smack"
**You give great hugs, but you're pretty stingy with them!
**You LOVE to go swimming and try to drink all the water!
**You still love to play peek-a-boo. You'll lay down flat on the floor if that's the quickest way to hide! You also still love to play pat-a cake and will even "roll 'em up and throw it in the pan."
**Your favorite toys right now are your sorting blocks and Alyssa's Hannah Montana kickball. Or anything you can chew on.
**You have 5 teeth.
**You are still eating mostly baby food, but making great progress with finger foods. You will definitely be ready for cake by your birthday!
**You are nursing 3-4 times a day and taking 2 naps, but we miss the morning nap about half the time. You go to bed around 9pm and wake up around 9am! You still sleep with your pacifier and blankie.
**You are saying Da-da constantly and trying to say bye-bye and sissy.
**You love playing in the bathtub, but you don't like to be bathed...it interferes with your playing!

I could, of course, go on and on, but I don't want to forget that the biggest thing is that you are still such a joy, Blakely! We love you so much!
