We have had so much fun this month with our little lady. She understands so much of what we are saying now, and loves going new places and seeing new things.
At eleven months you:
- Crawl everywhere, pull up on things, and cruise furniture. No steps yet, but you have stood by yourself for a second or two.
- You say two words: "Dada" and "doggie." Your language skills have exploded! You babble as if you are actually saying something, and you point to things and name them in your baby language.
- Are sleeping much better at night. Like, sometimes THROUGH THE NIGHT. You may have dropped your second nap though? Maybe? We're a bit confused at the moment.
- Know where your toes are. We ask, "Kennedy, where are your toes?" You point to them. Cutest thing ever.
- Give high fives, clap, wave, and blow kisses.
You love:
- Stuffed animals. Especially your giraffe and your dinosaur. Your face lights up when you see them.
- Balloons. Like. So much. When we walk around the grocery store, you point to each and every one that you see. Never noticed how many balloons there are at the grocery store.
- Daddy is seriously the love of your life.
- Dogs and cats. A common outing is to go to Petsmart and watch the dogs playing in the doggie day care. Free entertainment, right?
You don't love:
- Taking naps. Too much fun to be had during the day.
- Wearing bows, headbands, or hats. Sad days for mommy.
- Food. Seriously, after a cold you had earlier this month, you're back to not eating anything and nursing eight times a day...
Highlights of the Month:
- Fun outings that we actually took our camera on! We fed the ducks.
- All your little friends are turning one! Here Kennedy is dressed up for a birthday party. Little miss Sassy-pants.
- We started going to story time with some friends on Tuesdays. You could care less about the story but love hanging out with your friends. One week we somehow got all of you to sit still for at least two whole minutes while we listened to stories.
- A week in Santa Cruz. Always so fun to see so many people we love.
- Your first babysitter while you were awake. Special thanks to Mor Mor and Gramps for buying Doug and I tickets to The Book of Mormon, driving us back to LA, AND babysitting a very awake baby from 5:30pm to 11:30pm. They deserve medals. She will not going to sleep for anyone but me :(
- A trip to the pumpkin patch with the Desparte family! We saw sheep and goats, took advantage of the photo op, and left without a pumpkin due to a hideously long line...
I seriously can't believe that Kennedy will be ONE next time I do one of these posts. Can I keep doing these until she's 18? Or longer? "Kennedy Jane is 309 months old!"
