11 Months!

As I peeked into Teresa's room as she was going down for nap this afternoon, I had to smile at what I saw.  There was my sweet little girl sitting up.  I am guessing she was as surprised as me!  Sitting up is one of her new 11 month tricks.  She sat up on her own (meaning she pushes herself up from her tummy) twice this past week.  I am guessing we will be seeing a lot more of that.  I wondered if she would really sleep, but happily for me, she must have flopped back on her tummy and drifted off into dreamland.
She still is not crawling, but continues to be adept at rolling and scooting and pivoting on her tummy.  She also has the lunging from sitting position to her tummy down pat, so I am guessing crawling won't be far behind.  I am excited for her, but I do know it means life will only get a little busier around here.

Another development in the last month was Teresa's new found love of her baby doll.  It is a tiny doll she got as an Easter gift and now she loves to hold it or hand it off to let someone else hug it before giving it back.  You say "where's baby" and if it isn't in her hands she starts searching for it with her eyes.

What else about our 11 month old...she is taking to baby foods a bit more now, but not so fond of finger foods expect bananas and cheerios.  She babbles some and at times I can convince myself her mamama is for me!  She loves to swing and play in water.  Timothy makes her giggle.  Anything her hands can reach she is curious about.  That keeps Timothy busy trying to keep his toys away from her.

Only one more month and we will have a one year old.  Wow!

Laughing at her big brother.

A bear-less picture.  All she wanted to do was throw it on the floor!
