Ellie is 11 months old!

It is so hard to believe that my little baby will be 1 in a few short weeks. I don't even offically think of myself as a mom yet . . . I feel like I just brought her home! It's amazing how much she has changed our lives. She's so happy and we have so much fun no matter what we're doing with her. She's very easy going and adapts to whatever situation she's in. She loves people and has never met a stranger (except Dace, but we're working on that!). I just love her so much I feel like my heart might burst!

Here is what my Ellie is up to at 11 months:

-She weighs 20 lbs. 10 oz. and is about 28 inches long.

-Still wears size 3 diapers, but we may try 4s after this pack. Wearing mostly 12 month clothes now.

-She has 4 teeth now. Her top 2 came in this past month. She's now taking bites of things that she used to shove in her mouth. I think she likes using them. Also, if you ask her where her teeth are she'll rub her tongue over them. If you ask her where your teeth are, she can point them out.

-She can also point out bellybutton, toes, and nose.

-She raises her hands above her head and smiles when we say "yay," or she does something she's proud of.

-She can point out family members and Elmo is books/pictures.

-She's walking everywhere! She took her first steps a few weeks ago, and now she's officially a walker! She doesn't crawl at all anymore!

-She knows how to wink and she'll do it on command. She usually blinks both eyes, but sometimes just one.

-She still loves yogurt, oatmeal, cheese, and chicken. She also really likes oranges now. She also loves Momma's egg and cheese omelet. Yum!

-She loves to play outside, go on walks in the stroller, swing in the hammock, and anything else that involves being outside. She cries every time we bring her in.

-Her newest thing since she's been sick is to put her hand on her head and say "oh." It sounds very drama-queenish.

-Some fun things she did this month: had her picture taken with the Easter bunny, went to her first Easter egg hunt, flew on a plane to Indiana, went to the zoo, went to the circus.

-Some not so fun things she did this month: got an ear infection- yuck!

Happy 11 months Ellie! We love you so much!
