I'm 11 months old!

I can hardly believe it myself! Where has this past year gone? It feels like just yesterday that I was a little teeny baby and now I'm getting to be such a big girl! I can hardly remember being so little!

Now that I'm 11 months old I'm really starting to learn things around me. My Mommy and Daddy love that I point because it is helping me understand what it is that I'm seeing. If I see something that I want to know about, I just point! I know SO many words now! If my Mommy and Daddy ask me what these words are, I can point them out for them:

Mommy, Daddy, Buster, balloon, water, cup, bottle, flag, swing, book, car, baby (doll), Elmo, Elmo phone, light, ball, fan, no, bath, up, vacuum, freckle, window, magnet, ring, nose (Mommy and Daddy's nose), mouth (Mommy and Daddy's mouth), fishy, star, crab, stove, curtain, picture, Baby Haleigh (in a few pictures we have in our house), Aunt Laurie (in pictures), PopPop (in pictures), Madeline (when she is playing with me), banana, apple, hairbrush, TV, tunnel (toy tunnel), cow, piggy, kitty cat, snacks, Cheerios, brush, bow, purse (my own purse!).

When you ask me to do these things, most of the time I will: dance, bouncy (bounce), clap, shake, kiss, hug, play patty cake (clap), brush my hair and if you ask me "What does a cow say?" I will sometimes give you a little girly "moo"!

I'm sure there are others, but I can't remember them right now! I am also sick - again! My Dr. said I probably had the croup virus and gave me a shot of a steroid (ouch!!). It really helped me out! This is the third time I've been sick in the last month. There must really be something going around right now!

I'm really looking forward to this last month of being a baby. I'm getting so much better with my steps and have been doing it more and more on my own now. Before you know it, I'll be a little toddler and will be so independent! I'm enjoying my time as a baby now!

As you can see, I am a very happy little girl. My Mommy took these of me on my 11-month birthday yesterday!
