11 Months!

Leah turns 11 months today!  Here are some updates:

• 29.5 inches, 19 lbs
• Top left tooth is breaking through
• Hates eating yogurt melts; loves oatmeal, pasta, bananas. Has started to spit food out if she doesn't like it.
• Will look at Matt when I ask her "Where's dada?"
• Head-butts me when I say "kiss kiss" {she's actually been doing this for a couple months now}
• Knows to give me her binky after she wakes up
• High 5s
• Very careful and cautious. Before Leah, I always pictured us having to chase a crazy baby around in order to prevent them from hurting themselves.  Leah, however, is very cautious.  Before she makes a move in new surroundings, she scans the area, makes sure mom and dad are around, and either very slowly moves or just sits there if she's unsure.  

Leah: Thank you for being such a happy baby.  You're full of smiles and giggles.  When we put you to bed for the night, you wave good night to us.  When we wake you up, you greet us with a smile and another wave.  It totally makes my heart melt.  You're personality is coming out a lot stronger now.  You're focused and know what you want.  When you don't get what you want, you let mommy and daddy know very quickly and loudly.  It makes me a little nervous to see what your teenage years are going to be like.  While it's so much fun watching you grow up, I wouldn't mind if you stayed a baby just a little longer.  You change so much everyday!  We love you!!!  Happy 11 months!!  xoxo
