11 Months Old (already)

So Megan's 11 month photo shoot went almost like her 10 month photo shoot! She was having so much fun rolling off her elephant the second I put her down. It was fun and she was all smiles. I have a picture frame that has holes for each month, so it will be public knowledge to anyone in our house that when Megan turned 10 months old, she no longer wanted to pose for a picture. Hopefully, when she turns one (scary thought) she will pose so I can have a nice picture for the frame. If not, the frame will still be cute!

Of course she has learned some new things, such as:

• She can stand on her own, most of the time just standing up in the middle of the floor.
• She will "sing" along to any song that I sing.
• She can find Baron or Stella (the fish) when we ask her where they are.
• She can "scream" Stella's name when we talk about Stella.
• She loves eating crackers, even though still no teeth!!!
• She has taken about 4-5 steps but stops and crawls.
• She knows how to open cupboards and toy boxes and can empty them quickly.
• Still gets up twice a night, but her routine is solid so each day is pretty "easy" right now.
• And I think she has learned to say "mama" I'm sure to the untrained ear it doesn't sound like it, but her "mama" always sounds the same when she is looking at or for me. Still working on "dada/dad/daddy"

Yes it does look like she has a lot of hair in this picture. She is starting to grow hair but she doesn't have as much hair as this picture makes you think. She just seems to be a happy baby all the time. She only really cries when she is hungry, tired, or told "no". Mark and I know we are blessed to have such a happy baby. I would like to think parenting has helped achieve a happy baby, but really I don't know. We just follow our gut, and so far it has worked.
Don't you just hate it when you are playing in your living room and you get attacked by an elephant!?! And no Megan wasn't in pain, she was crawling and we were "chasing" her with the elephant. In this picture she fell to the ground because she was laughing and couldn't crawl because she was laughing so hard.
