Eleven

This 11 month photo shoot took Chris, Pip and I to make it happen. The picture below: Pip is literally being danced around the room. Caroline of course thought it was wildly hilarious. 

She is all over the place these days.  Some things I want to remember about her 11th month:

• She is wearing size 3 diapers and 12 month clothes.
• Drawers and cabinets are no match for her. She has had the opportunity to pull up on  all the ones in our house .  She is a bit of a daredevil.
• She is finally eating apples in her oatmeal in the morning &  still doesn't like juice.

Chris thinks she is saying the dumb and dumber line, "Goodbye my love"

• Bath times are one of my favorite times with her.  She has so much fun in there.  She laughs, squeals & splashes like crazy.  My advice when bathing this girl: Wear a poncho, & bring toys and it will be enjoyable.
• A new toy she has recently discovered is the magnets on the refrigerator.  She loves to move the magnets around  at the bottom of the fridge. 
• She loves animals.  Pip and Cash are her favorites but she wants to pet all dogs and cats. 

• She doesn't like when mom and dad leave her.  Drop offs at daycare are not fun.  She always makes a scene to let everyone at her schools know that she is displeased. 
• She needs a pacifier and a blanket to go to sleep.  She sleeps through the night- which is amazing and I thank her every morning when I go to get her.

She is telling her dad something important.

She has only stood a couple of times and for a few seconds - we are excited for our little monkey. I couldn't get a picture of it but  Apparently it's not that great of an accomplishment because there is not even a place in the baby book that says "Date with baby stood for the first time" but I'm still proud of her.
