11 Months

It's kind of amazing that I am actually posting her 11 month update on her actual 11 month birthday.  BAM!

Millie is at such a fun age right now and I am soaking in every moment; every tear, every tooth- bearing smile, every "HI!", every head on my shoulder moment, and every 100 mph crawling session that I can.  Slowly but surely she is getting over her stranger danger and is allowing more people to hold her which is great but bittersweer at the same time.  I am enjoying the few moments of freedom though!

At 11 months old Millie:

• babbles like she's having a conversation with you
• says "HI" while waving vigorously
• says mama and dada and baba (bottle)
• crawls at 100 + mph
• is now on a two nap a day schedule versus three
• can walk up and down the couch with ease
• can pull up on just about anything
• can balance for a few seconds without help (I know what comes next!)
• still loves her Scout very much.  We have one in the carseat and in the crib.
• is getting her other front tooth which will equal five total teeth
• only likes to feed herself.  Don't even think about eating around her unless you're up for sharing.
• holds her own bottle (she's been doing this since nine months old however I think I forgot to put that in her update)
• Is still in 12 month clothes and wearing size three diapers

So, as you can see Millie is growing like a weed and absolutely loving being a baby/almost toddler.  She is such a joy and mommy and daddy fall in love with her more and more with each passing day.  I can't believe her next update will be her ONE YEAR update.  Oh my, that will be a hard day for me!
