11 months

I can't believe our baby is almost 1, where does the time go? She is growing up way too fast but we're trying to keep up with as many pictures and videos as we can. I'm in disbelief over this each time her monthly 'birthdays' rolls around!

She started really walking (as per the last video) this month which has been so exciting. It was so fun to see her go from two or three wobbly steps to full on walking. Just a matter of a couple weeks and she got the hang of it. She LOVES to walk everywhere now, sometimes getting so excited she tries to run but gets ahead of herself and usually topples. She has started saying 'mama' again which is so fun to hear even though she doesn't really know what she's saying. Not too many other new 'words' or sounds. She also loves walking around with two little balls or blocks in her hands. In fact, most mornings it's the first thing she will look for out of her toy basket. She doesn't really do much with the balls, just likes to carry them around. Maybe it's due to her lack of entertaining toys, which we hope to remedy with her birthday that is just around the corner. It's just so hard to travel with too many toys but we plan on buying some over here. She's most definitely making do with what she has at the moment with no complaints. Speaking of complaining, she has started this little whiny noise and uses it fairly often. It's so funny but hoping it doesn't last too long. Maybe we'll catch it on video one of these days.

Reese has been to all of daddy's home games and done pretty well. She usually gets a little antsy by the end of the 3rd period but I try and save a toy or two or bottle for then. Now that she is full on moving, she isn't loving sitting still, especially on my lap. Unfortunately there really isn't anywhere she can walk around. She seems to stay more entertained if I give her her own seat. She loves to stand up and look at the people behind her. She always seems to win over a couple playmates!

Here are a few pictures over the last month.
