11 Months

At 11 months old I am now:

• Pulling up on everything in sight so I can stand nice and tall. I'm not so much humping things anymore...it's more fun to let go and see how long I can stand by myself!
• "Walking down" the sofa to get those darn remotes that are always out of reach!
• "Monkey crawling" around the house with incredible speed (crawling on my feet instead of my knees). One of these days, I'm just going to lift my hands off the floor and start walking...and I think Mom and Dad might just pass out that day!
• "Taking it with me" - I pull off my socks so I can have something to stroke in my left hand while I suck my right thumb. Then I put the sock in my mouth and crawl along my way. I think I am one of the dogs. Like Daisy walks around with her dish, I crawl around with my socks and go sit by the back door.
• Trying desperately to tear down the baby gate at the top of the stairs just because that seems like it would be fun...and it might make a really cool loud noise!
• Getting ready for Daddy's first lacrosse game of the season - I'm practicing how to be a good mascot with Daisy and Molly:)

I think I'm looking a little frat-boyish right now. Daddy thinks I need a haircut - I can't imagine why!
My latest break-dancing move!

The world is so simple, and so interesting! (We won't talk about the fact that I was banging my head against the window relentlessly when Mommy snapped this quiet still shot instead of a movie!)

Legos are SO cool, especially at cousin Alex's house (what a difference a year makes!) with Anne, & Tomba (and Baby T on the way!).

Limp as a dishrag for Kate (MLK weekend '09 in Richmond & DC)
