Eleven Months on Wednesday, March 11

Eleven months on the 11th. Happy day to me!
I do believe that this picture captures many things that I am doing these days, such as growing teeth (slowly), smiling, and performing. So Big! continues to be one of my favorites. As well this past month, my exploration and investigation skills continued to grow! Lately, I am into body parts, and I especially like to point to noses. I also use that pointer finger to find holes, new textures, or the smallest of objects on the floor to pick up and investigate, and then, of course, that object finds its way into my mouth. One of my favorite toys lately has been water bottles with varying amounts of water in different bottles. It is quite interesting to note the different weights and sounds they make. I continue to love reading, which includes turning the pages myself. My favorite book series is the touchy, feely books, "That's Not My..." I know them all by heart. In fact, I am not that fond of new books my mom tries to introduce; I have my stack of favorites. So, in between good eating (newest favorite as of this morning--blueberries--my mom can only give me one at a time; otherwise, I stuff in my mouth too quickly and excitedly!), good sleeping, and lots of playing, I look forward to my twelfth month, my FIRST birthday. It is hard to believe that has almost been a year since I was that tiny baby!
