11 Months!

Our little baby is one month away from being a year old... I cannot believe it!  She is so much fun these days... every age is "my favorite" and this is definitely my new favorite.  Here are some things I don't want to forget about her at this age...

• She loves finding pictures of Courtney and pointing him out... "da da"
• When she gives you a "hug" (lays her head on your shoulder) she always says "oh" and drags it out like a little sigh - I think it is because that's what we say when she gives us a hug so she thinks you're supposed to do that!
• She is walking more and more although crawling on her hands and toes (not knees) is still her preferred method of getting around if she's in a hurry.  She can crawl really fast this way and likes to "run" from us if she thinks we are chasing her!
• She can give you five
• She still loves books and will pick out a book and bring it to me to read to her when we're playing.  She loves Goodnight Moon and I Love You, Good Night before naptime or bedtime and she really likes Curious George At the Park and any kind of touch and feel/lift the flap books.  When we read Curious George, there is a page with a soccer ball on it that says "Goal!" and as soon as you get that book out, Addy starts saying "Go" and flipping to the ball page.
• She learned how to shake a shaker for the Alabama football game on Saturday - we are still working on Roll Tide though!

• She still loves watermelon & bananas.  We have started giving her these little mini waffles for breakfast and she loves those too!  She likes to try new foods... a few bites she has had recently include cinnamon rolls, baked potato, toast, peas, cornbread, Jim & Nick's cheese biscuits (can you tell our family likes bread?!). 
• We are trying to teach her eyes, nose, mouth and other body parts... she knows her hair, toes and tongue (she sticks her tongue out when you ask her where it is) and she can sometimes show you where her eyes and mouth are.  When you ask where her nose is, she grabs your nose instead!
• She is just so sweet!!
