11 Months!!

I couldn’t get a normal 11 Month picture in her crib because as soon as I set her in there she was thinking I was putting her to bed!  This totally sums up how different she is this month, because she has figured out what is going on around her!  Okay so lets move the little grumpy face and try this again…

The recliner makes her happy because she feels “older”…typical Maisy, she thinks she’s like 5!  But no, she’s only 11 months and here is what she’s up to:

• She is officially on whole milk and sippy cups!  She made this transition way too easy.  She wants to be a big girl and do what her big brother does so she’d much rather have a sippy cup instead of a bottle.  Nana has been giving her milk during the day instead of formula for the past month so I decided to hop on board and switch her to milk in the morning and at night too and she is loving it!
• She eats table food now for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!  She has no problem chewing up foods even though she still has NO TEETH!
• She’s in a size 3 diaper and wears a range of 6-9 month, 9 month, and 12 month clothes!
• She’s taking 3-4 steps at a time and will walk like a pro as long as she’s holding your fingers.  I feel like any day now she’s going to just take off, but little miss speed crawler knows she can get there way faster on all fours.
• She is such a climber!!  She climbs on chairs, tables, inside Ryder’s car, on his bed, onto his 4-wheeler, and actually turns around to sit the right way or grab the steering wheel like she knows what she’s doing!  She even knows how to turn her feet around to climb down off of something.
• She is a stair master, going up and down like it’s nothing!  She will even hold onto the railing on the porch with 2 hands and go up and down on standing up!  She amazes us when we watch her moving around.
• She points at everything (with her thumb!) and grunts, everything is called a “uhhhh” to her.  She has her select words that she’s sticking with for now, Mama, Dada, Nana, Pap-Pap, Bubba, and I reeeeallllyyyy think I hear her trying to say “big brother” but that could just be me trying to make sense out of her gibberish!
• She loves to sit in Ryder’s chair and watch Praise Baby!  Brings back so many memories of Ryder doing the exact same thing.
• She has started throwing this lay on the ground temper tantrum when Daddy is around because she knows he’ll come to her rescue.  Their bond is probably the sweetest thing I’ve ever experienced in my life time.  Alan totally takes advantage of it.  For example, I caught him terrorizing her with that big scary dinosaur Ryder has (you know the one i’m talking about, the same one he terrorized Ryder with!).  I walked in the room to see him making the dinosaur bite her foot, she’s crying, and at the same time he’s holding her telling her “It’s okay baby, Daddy won’t let that scary dinosaur get you” as she’s nestling her head in her Daddy’s neck making him feel like the big protector…he’s a mess!

One more month until she’s going to be the Birthday Girl!!!!  I really can’t believe it!
