11 Months Old!

Laura is 11 months old today!!

Updates for this month are:

-took her first solo steps on January 1st!! She has been walking with her little push cart for a while and so far has only taken a few steps at a time, but I'm sure full walking isn't that far off
-very adept at using her sippy cup (which is good because she's always refused a bottle)
-likes to do "cheers" with her drinking cup, high fives, clap her hands (especially when you say "good job!"), point at things, and play catch-me-if-you-can (looks back at you to make sure you are chasing her and then crawls around the room or shuffle/walk around furniture)
-vocabulary is expanding and we are getting more "Ba Ba" and "Gu Gu", instead of just "oohhhh" and "maa"

Here are more pictures from this past month:

In the midst of a great game called "let's take everything off the shelf".

So proud of herself, walking from crib back to me!

"Whoohooo! I finally got mom's phone!!"

Crusin' around with her cart.

When Mommy and Daddy are available, this is how she likes to walk!

Cuddle time with Daddy.

Playing with her new bath toys - thanks Great Grandma and Grandpa!

I was actually trying to get a picture of her new touque and booties,
but the only place I could get her to stay still was the shopping cart.

Such a big girl with her sippy cup and arrowroot cookie!

"Oh look at me, I'm as sweet as an angel.."

"...Just kidding!!"
