11 Months Old!

I can't believe Avery is 11 months old!  We'll be celebrating her 1st birthday next month.... seems like it was just a few months ago that we brought our little girl home.  The year has gone by too fast!  Here is a quick update on what she is up to....
She weighs close to 20lbs and mostly wears 9-12 month clothes.
She sleeps through the night from about 8pm to 6am. 
She is still nursing or taking a bottle 5 times a day.  She is also eating mostly finger foods now.  She loves meat sticks, pasta, vegetables, fruits, puffs, rice cakes, and basically anything that she can feed herself!  We are still working on a sippy cup. 
She has 4 teeth now and knows how to bite!  It appears that more will be coming through soon. 
She is still crawling and pulling up on everything, and cruising around all the furniture.  She will walk if you are holding her hands.  She has stood briefly by herself, but no steps on her own yet. 
She says Mama, Dada, Nana, Bye-Bye, and other little babbles.  She waves, claps, plays peek-a-boo, and imitates us when we make funny faces or noises. 
She LOVES playing with other little kids and all their "big" toys.  She also loves her dogs and anyone's dogs or cats.  She gets so excited when she sees them. 
She is so curious and gets into anything and everything around the house.  She doesn't like to sit still or be confined.  She likes to be on the go! 
We are just having so much fun with our little girl.  We just returned from our 1st family vacation in Montana, so I will be posting pictures of our trip later this week.  Here are a few pictures from before we left.  Enjoy!

Making a mess is what she does best!
