11 Months

Happy 11 months! How is she already almost 1? Time is going by so fast and I love this stage with Baylor. She is the sweetest little baby who is just the cutest and is so happy.

Here's what Baylor is up to at 11 months:

She is crawling everywhere! She prefers her monkey crawl on harder floors and if she wants to get somewhere really fast and will do a normal crawl on the carpet. She does her monkey crawl if she has something in one hand so she can still move around while carrying it. She loves it when you chase her and she crawls away really fast but then stops to look to see if you are still coming after her.
She loves dolls and stuffed animals and will squeeze them so tight because she loves them so much.
I can now get a tiny ponytail in her hair and I love and can't want until I get get two little antennas in it.
She LOVES Paige and is constantly looking for her when she hears Paige's voice and always wants to see where she is and do what she is doing.
She loves showers with Dad.
She is very slowly but surely becoming slightly less picky with her baby food. She can't really eat food other than baby food unless it is just one or two bites because she went up choking on it or spitting it out.
She loves to open up cupboards and pull what she can out, take books off the bookshelf, push the power button on the computer, crawl under the tables and over people's legs. She loves to go outside and crawls to the door as fast as she can when she sees it open in hopes that she can make it out there. She also will come crawling if the fridge or dishwasher is open and likes to explore both of them. She likes to help me unload the silverware from the dishwasher.
She takes two naps and still doesn't sleep through the night. A four hour stretch from her is a good night.
She loves to "wrestle" with Dad and loves all his silliness.
When she is hungry or tired she always wants Mom.
She is quite the talker. She loves to jabber and her favorite words are mama and she now makes sounds and imitates you when you say uh-oh, meow, and ruff.
She is pretty ticklish and has the cutest laugh.
She is pretty shy but loves to wave to random people. Whenever she sees someone she likes to wave to them but if they come close and try to touch her then she hides into me or Nate.
She LOVES her blanket. We often play the game with her where I take her blanket and snuggle with it and then she comes crawling with a big smile to come and get her blanket from you. She loves to snuggle her face into it and just hugs it so tight that she shakes. You can tell when she is getting tired because she will snuggle with her blanket more and lay her head on it.
