11 Months

It was 11 months ago that I was sitting on the porch at the lake with Beckie on the 4th of July so uncomfortable and ready for this baby to come. We said, "next year at this time we will have two babies crawling around". It's hard to believe that almost a year has past and what my life was like before Grace was in it.

Lets see, what has little miss personality been up to since my 10 month post:

• She has stopped saying mama and waving. That was sooooo last week. She is on to new, cooler tricks
• She clicks and clucks her tongue. Papa taught her this to "call the squirrels". She does it to call papa too.
• She enjoys greeting people with an enthusiastic "hi" when she sees them. Except it is more like a two syllable "hii-iiy".
• She is always talking gibberish and making funny noises. The best is when she sings in the car.
• She is cruising around furniture and crawling everywhere and boy can this girl MOVE! She even took a few steps the other day without realizing it. I don't think it counted as first steps though because she isn't really close to walking.
• She still loves her puffs but also enjoys cheese, spaghetti, watermelon, and hamburger. She will still eat baby food occasionally but not unless she is REALLY hungry
• She likes to dance. You hold her hands and she stomps and bends her knees and looks like she is tap dancing or something. This usually gets a big reaction from people which she just loves.
• She picks things up really fast and understands so much more than we realize. We are constantly amazed and amused by her antics.
