11 months old!

Emmalyn is 11 months old today! She has grown 2 inches this month and is now starting to look more like a toddler! She is surprising us with her smarts every single day! Her vocabulary is expanding. She can say Mama and Dada when she wants one or both of us to pay attention. She says ball, Dora, go, dog, and imitates about any sound Nate or I make. She is making more faces (not just the scary face anymore!) She knows what her tongue, nose, belly and hands are. She is signing for fan, wreath(she thinks it's a fan), milk, hi, bye, bath, yes, no and we are working hard on thank you right now. She loves, loves, loves her books! If you are wondering where Emmalyn is, chances are she is in her room flipping through a book. She particularly likes her Trick or Treat Dora book. It has a cat on a couple of pages that she likes to find and point to so I will "meow" for her! She smiles every time! She is eating more table foods, still with no teeth! That toothless ornery grin just melts my heart! She has not refused anything we have let her try as far as food goes. She loves drinking her juice out of a straw and is still taking 3-4 bottles a day. Sleeping longer lately, 8:30 at night to 7:30 in the morning. She still loves to be outside despite the cooler weather. She gives Sam (our cat) "big kisses" and loves to watch both Mulli and Sam. She is still refusing naps most days and actually tends to still be somewhat pleasant. I figure she has too much fun awake that she doesn't' want to miss anything while she is napping! She is exploring all over the place but knows already what she not suppose to get in to! That is our little peanut in a nutshell right now! Only 1 short month to go before the big day! I simply can not believe it!!!
