Watch Me Grow...11 months!

How is it that this sweet girl is a month away from being 1!???!! Time is simply flying and Maria is growing and changing every day!


*Maria is still probably around 20-21 pounds. I am guessing she is about 29-30 inches tall.
*Maria is squeezing into size 3 diapers, as we finish what we have left of this size before jumping her up to size 4.
*Maria is in size 9 months clothes still, but we will be transitioning into 12 months soon!
*Maria is still a very good eater. She eats three meals a day of table food, and two bottles (one after nap and one right before bedtime).
*Some of her favorites foods: chicken, anything with cheese, sweet potatoes, all fruit, all veggies...she really loves it all! :-)
*We tried to move her to whole milk two weeks ago...she wasn't ready...we plan on trying again when the formula we have left is gone.
*Maria has 3 teeth with a 4th one coming soon!
*She LOVES to have her teeth brushed.
*She takes 2-3 naps per day.
*Maria does well with bath time, but does not play long like Greg did (does!)
*She is a great traveler in the car and plane!
*She still likes her space when falling asleep. She loves her dog Violet for lullaby music as she goes down for a nap or the night.
*She is WALKING!!!! She has been consistently walking for almost 2 weeks now. Although she took her first step nearly a month ago, her confidence has come through, and she is all over the place!
*Maria climbs on everything.
*She likes to be barefoot. She takes her socks off and carries them around with her.
*She loves to clap.
*She waves bye bye when you say good bye to her or tell her night night!
*She hates having her headband bows in her hair.
*She is developing quite the personality and is very dramatic!! She cries if Greg makes her mad and then comes within 2 feet of her. She can turn her tears on and off like a pro!
*She is much more expressive when Greg takes things from her.
*She plays well on her own, but prefers to have you on the floor with her.
*Maria likes to put objects into containers. She LOVES to play with the Tupperware!
*Maria understands the word no. She gets in trouble for standing in her highchair. A lot.
*Maria drinks like a pro from her sippy cups.
*She loves to smile at strangers and LOVES the attention she gets from them. She puts on quite the show with lots of smiles and giggles.
*Maria is a very easy going baby.
*She gives kisses! So sweet and wet...
*She gives hugs by burrowing her face into your body.
We are blessed to be her parents and have loved watching her grow into such a sweet little girl! Her smiles and giggles bring so much joy to our lives!
