Double Digits!

So, I've been slacking...  big surprise!  But Allison has been keeping me busy since she's learned to crawl!  The last 2 months have been amazing as she's learning to do new things everyday.  She can now crawl like a pro, pull up, fall down without "bonking," cruise (mostly to the right, but she's making progress with moving to the left), almost squat to pick up objects, feed herself table food without dropping most of it, answer to her name, understand the word "no" (which she does not like), wave "bye bye," give "high five," clap, and she's finally starting to sign!  We've seen one "milk," "more," and "all done."

It's really been great to be home while she's passing all these milestones and she's become quite the momma's girl.  Her personality is really showing and she is an intense little girl!  I'm not surprised, but it's takes me back when she gets all tense and let's out a big GRRRRR!  She also likes to thrash around in her high chair- not sure why.  But she's persistent and stubborn just like her parents and BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!  I miss the days when she used to snuggle with me in the recliner...  But she wants to explore and there's no stopping her!

Here are Allison's 10 and 11 month growth pictures.  I can't tell much of a difference, but I think she might be a little taller...  At 11 months, Allison weighs 18lbs 1oz.  Up a pound since her 9 month appointment.  I don't think she'll make the cut off to turn her carseat around by her birthday, but that's ok.  She's healthy and that's all we want!

Our beautiful baby girl!
