At Eleven Months

Dear 'Munchkin',

You are almost a year old!  I can't believe how time is flying and I'm pretty sure I say something to that effect every month.  You are still our little gal and that is making you hold onto your babiness instead of speeding into toddler looks.  You weigh 18 lbs 3 oz, so not much of a change this month.

You have grown so much in your development!  You wave 'hello' and 'bye-bye' to just about anybody.  You are fascinated with pushing chairs across the kitchen and the toilet.  You kiss your reflection in the sliding glass door and I think that is the darn cutest thing I have ever seen.  You have also figured out how to crawl upstairs which put us in a panic until we bought another gate. 

You are an eater!  We call you our little foodie because you will eat anything and, despite your size, everything in sight.  This month you tried and loved guacamole and it was a little spicy!  You also love zucchini, tomato, eggs and chicken.

You have conversations with yourself that just go on and on and we have no idea what you're saying but you sure do.  You say mum-mum and call your brother 'bu-bu'.  You make the cutest facial expressions our favorites being the snort and sniff and the all impressive oooo.  We don't call you Munchkin that much any more.  We mostly call you 'Boo' which is short for 'Boo-Bookins baby' which is what your brother called you one day after you got shots at the doctor's.  Sorry.  It kind of stuck.

Can't believe you'll be one next month!
