Happy 11 months Hannah!

You're 11 months old today! Wow, how times flies. In month 10, you've learned to stand up and stay up all by yourself. You've started to step around on your own. Letting go of what you're holding onto after you've cruised around.

You pee and poo in the toilet, and do a good job when we as your parents stay on top of taking you to the potty. You're still in diapers, but hopefully we'll do better at E.C. and being diaper free this year.

You're sleeping through the night, with some occasional wake-ups once in a while (usually to nurse, or b/c you're cold). You nap either two short naps a day or one long nap now.

You're signing "fish" & "bye bye" and you say "mama," "bao" (hold/hug) and "yu" (fish) with intent and purpose. You know what a lot of things mean - especially "he ne ne" (to nurse/drink milk). You point to things you want, and you also go after them with full intent when you're able. You can climb up and down stairs very well. You open and close cabinets, drawers, pull things out, and put things into containers well.

You enjoy being outdoors, exploring new places, and being with other people, especially other kids. You like to push your stroller and the shopping cart, especially when you're in a baby carrier and can look foward and hold on to the handles.

You love Cheerios and can distinguish between foods you like and non-food items, though you still put most things in your mouth. You like the taste of juice, though we don't give it to you often. You can drink a bit out of a cup, though some still dribbles on your clothes. You open your mouth WIDE when you're hungry and take in food on a small teaspoon now. You eat some table food but mostly baby food still.

You've grown and learned so much! We love you!
