11 months old

Hailey's 11-months old today! She's 25 lbs. and has outgrown her 18-month clothes. Those are 2-year pants she's wearing!

She has taken 4 continuous steps on her own (this week!) and her record for standing by herself is about 10 seconds. Most of the time she just cruises/walks while holding on to something) or crawls.

She now has 4 teeth, two on the top and two on the bottom. Her favorite snacks are Cheerios, cheese puffs and yogurt melts. She's pretty much eating what we eat these days, supplemented with formula of course! Grandma loves making her pork rice porridge with carrots.

Her favorite word is, "Hey!" which is usually accompanied by a pointing finger. She loves to stick out her tongue. She has definitely developed a strong sense of what she wants and doesn't want, and lets you know it. Her "no's" consist of her hand waving, head shaking side to side, leg kicking and a whiney "nnnnn!" She also says, "Yiiiiiiii!" and points when she wants something. She also gets very sad when she's yelled at, unless she knows that what she's doing is wrong. Then she laughs when I say "no!"

She's discovered the fun of picking up and dropping things for fun, which is great when she's helping me put clothes from the floor into the laundry basket! (Although usually she ends up taking it back out again.) She has also started opening and closing cabinet doors and drawers, which means we now have more baby-proofing to do.

Here's her monthly pic with Mr. Bear:

"Are we still doing this?"
