Addison: 11 months

Addison Leigh, you are 11 months old sweet girl. 

{pictures taken 4.5.2012}

At 11 months you:

• have taken up to 4 steps in a row all by yourself!  You walk a little bit better without your shoes on and are going to take off any day on your own.  We cannot keep up with you when you hold on to our fingers.  You are fast!
• still have 6 teeth, 4 on top and 2 on bottom.  We see those teeth now when you show us that precious little smile.
• can stand and squat and stand back up without holding on to anything.

• have started going to bed a little bit later.  You now sleep from 8 pm to at least 7:30 am.
• will "read" with a book for a little bit in your crib before you actually go to sleep.
• have had your fair share of boo-boos now that you are that much more mobile.
• love to look out the front door.
• have the sweetest giggles that we cannot get enough of.
• are waving more and more and it is still pretty random except you always wave at pictures, especially of Mommy and Daddy.
• have a thing for greeting cards that make music.
• are starting to fight the water on your head a little bit in the bathtub which is not like you
• are learning "no" and don't like to hear it.
• have 3-4 bottles a day of Enfamil, 18 ounces total; we are going to start working on getting rid of your bottle this month and introducing Whole Milk
• can clap your hands and click your tongue
• are starting to copy what others do like smile, clap, wave and click your tongue

• love cold water in your cup and are getting so good at the straw.
• LOVE macaroni and cheese, turkey and ham
• are starting to know who is a "stranger" and take a minute to warm up to family and friends you don't see very often
• are discovering new things everyday around the house and recently discovered the dishwasher

• wearing 12-18 month clothes 
• wear size 4 diapers both during the day and at night
• are in infant size 4 shoes

{We finally had success with your number sticker on your back where you couldn't find it!}

Addison, words cannot describe the love we have for you. Those baby blues melt our hearts.  One month from today you will be 1 year old.  These have been the best 11 months of our lives!

We love you to the moon and back.

Happy 11 months Addison Leigh!
