The peanut is 11 months old! This past month it really dawned on me how quickly she is growing! I can't believe next month she will be 1 year old!
Avery is at such a fun age. It's so fun to see her learn new things and understand more each day. She waves, claps, gives kisses, "talks" on the phone and puts her arms up when we ask her how big she is (soooo big). She loves to put her toys into buckets/baskets and then take them back out.
She is crawling so fast! She is into everything! Lately I've been thankful for our hard floors downstairs as we can usually hear where she is headed. She is pulling herself up on everything and starting to cruise along furniture. She is getting brave and she'll often let go of things while she's standing and slowly lower herself to sit down. She likes to hold onto our hands and walk a few steps and she also is really loving walking behind her push toy.
She is still our happy little girl and so smiley. She usually greets us in the mornings or after her naps with a huge smile as she stands in her crib and waits for us. She always has a big smile for her sissy and especially her daddy as soon as he walks in the door. She also smiles to pretty much anyone that talks to her or looks her direction.
I feel like Avery has really gotten bigger this past month as she seems heavier and much longer. She doesn't fit as well in my arms and she doesn't enjoy snuggling as much as she used to. She is still in size 3 diapers and wears 6 - 12 and 12 month clothes. She doesn't really ever wear shoes, but I think she'd be a size 2 (according to the pair she wore at Easter).
She is still a great eater. She will eat almost anything we put on her plate. She seems to eat so much more than Kensley did at this age and she tends to out eat her at most meals. She is such a quick eater and tries to shove as much as she can in her mouth. She is still nursing 3 - 4 times a day.
Avery's first tooth finally popped through last weekend (bottom left). I think the bottom right one isn't far behind. She is drooling like crazy and still chewing on everything. She is jabbering lots these days, still saying "dada" lots and starting saying "mmm - ma" this past month. I don't know that she's exactly linked "mama" to me, but she tends to say it more when she's tired, crying or hungry. She knows how to sign "more", but isn't always consistent with doing it.
She's starting to develop a little personality and knows when she's being funny. She fake coughs a lot like Kens did at this age and then breaks into a huge smile after she does it. She loves to jump and bounce up and down. She hears the word "no" quite often these days as she darts towards the coffee table drawers, stereo equipment, Kensley's potty, etc. She'll often pause to look at us and then take off again towards whatever it is she was going for.
Our sweet, little girl is getting too big, too fast. Happy 11 month birthday, Avery Leigh!
