11 months old!

This month has been alot of fun. As you can see, I am very busy now and have a hard time sitting still for my monthly photos. I thought it would be fun to bounce up and down the entire time my Mommy tried to take a picture. I LOVE people to pay attention to me. I have all these wonderful tricks that gets people to look at me...clicking my tongue, giving kisses (smacking my lips together), shaking my head no (and almost falling over when I do it), waving bye and making spitting noises. If this doesn't work, sometimes I will just yell or scream really loud just to get someone to look at me. I am a super fast crawler and love to pull myself up on everything. I even try to walk around things, but sometimes I get so excited about what I am doing that I forget to move my legs and I end up on my belly. My big sister likes to "help" me walk and I do pretty well with her help. I refuse to even trying walking with anyone else.

I have 2 more teeth (total of 7). I don't appreciate it when they start poking through. My sister is my best friend. She can make me laugh like no other person/activity can. The other day (while mom was upstairs) Lauren picked me up and put me on this cool car. Then she pushes me around super fast and I laugh the entire time! Dad doesn't think this is a good game to play (but we do it anyway...they have a hard time telling us no if I smile and laugh)


I celebrated my first 4th of July. I took a trip to the Amana Colonies. I have spent a lot of time in the pool. I love to take baths. My favorite part is lying down on my belly and putting my face in the water. My favorite activity is still eating. I love love love to eat. All and any foods! The more the better. I still go to bed at 6-7pm and get up at 4:30-5:00am. I take 1-2 naps during the day. There is just so much going on that I don't really like taking naps during the day. I love to be outside. I love to watch people and older kids. I like to swing on my new swing set. I love my fridge farm. I like to rip up paper to shreds.
