11 months

In less than 1 month our little girl wil be ONE YEAR Old! My how fast a year goes! She is definitely more TODDLER than baby and her personality is really starting to develop! I have even seen the beginning of small little "fits" when she doesn't get what she wants or I take something away she wants. They kinda make me laugh a little as she still is super cute when she makes her little "pouty" faces! It also makes me realize how grown up she is getting as she is understanding what she does want and what makes her upset. Here are some things she is up to:

• She "talks" a lot and it really sounds like she is having a full conversation with herself complete with intonations. 
• She says "Dah-DEE" and starting to say "Buh-bye", but somehow she refuses to say "ma-ma" as she used to a month ago.
• We have started weaning the bottle and have begun whole milk. Evie doesn't seem to notice at all so I think this transition will be easy.
• She still continues to be a GREAT sleeper with 11-12 hours at night with  two 1 1/2-2 hour naps. She even reaches out for her crib when it is time to sleep and goes to sleep immediately.
• Her favorite place is to be outside and she even gets upset when we have to go inside. Her favorite thing is to find big "sticks" and "rocks"--definitely not a girly-girl!
• I am beginning to see that she has literally NO FEAR. She will try anything and definitely does things I would never think she would attempt!
• She loves to give "kisses" (well this is more of her opening her mouth close to you) and she thinks it is hilarious when you think you are getting a kiss but she leans in and BITES your nose!
• She loves when Dad hides and scares her--she just laughs, and laughs, and laughs!

Evie loves her baths!

And loves to go through Mom's purse

Evie is SO BIG!
