Happy 11 Months, Aubrey!

Well, today marks Aubrey's 11 month birthday and here's what she's been up to:

• is talking all the time; mostly a language we don't understand but does say: mama, baba, dada, and "yuck" - we think we and the babysitter use it too much - lol :)
• is becoming a good little waver; loves to wave bye-bye and hi to anyone she meets
• is a master "butt-scooter" - no crawling but can get anywhere
• is getting into EVERYTHING: playing cards, cords, outlets, dead ladybugs...you name it
• is getting her third tooth; this one is on top - not the central but a side one
• is still sleeping great through the nights typically 7:45 p.m.-6:15 a.m.(unfortunately no sleeping in on the weekends either)
• is eating "3 meals" a day along with bottles still
• is learning to give kisses with her mouth wide open...yummy
• is a playing machine; she can dump off all her toys from her shelves and baskets in a matter of minutes
• is STARTING to learn to put things away to help Mommy with the messes she creates

she was really tired one evening and fell asleep in my arms

so I put her in the chair while I made supper and she stayed asleep

I tried to wake her up but she was very hesitant 

FINALLY "wanting" to help hold the bottle by herself

Happy 11 months, baby girl!

"hi mom"

getting ready to "scoot" off the couch 

"hey mom, what's down there?"

holding the bottle totally by herself for 

part of her bottle this morning
