11 Months (and two days) old!!

Dear Zoe- This will be the last month birthday post until you are ONE YEAR OLD!  I can't believe how fast this past 11 months has gone, but at the same time, I don't remember what life was like without you.  You are the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to your dad and I and we are so lucky to have you! 

11 months has marked even more milestones!

• You have finally picked up sign language, indicating "all done" and "more" when eating your meals.  It makes communicating SO much easier. 
• You now have SEVEN teeth!
• Hugging is one of your favorite things - mom, dad, Crock Crystal, grandma's credit cards...all get hugs from Zoe. 
• YOU PULLED YOURSELF UP!  On Sept 30, your 11 month birthday, you pulled yourself up to standing on the couch.  Walking is right around the corner....eek!
• You love reading books.  You point at the books when they are put away and love sitting and hearing the stories- you fav's are Pat the Bunny, Colors, Lets dance Little Pookie, and All the Hippos Go Berserk!
• You love "talking" on the phone.  You know how to hold the phone to your ear like mom, and you wave to say hello to whoever you are talking to.  You also think its daddy every time the phone rings and you get excited and yell "Da da da da!"
• You have mastered the art of drinking out of a straw.  You love water out of your sippy cup, but milk....not so much.  We need to work on that. 
• You are quite the dancer....everytime we hear music, you sway your arms from side to side- you got moves!
• You are becoming a very good helper to mommy- you hand me clothes when doing the laundry or putting it away...someday you will be able to do it all by yourself...

"Hooray for 11 months...1 more to go til I am 1!!"

Lets watch you grow...

xoxo, the mama
