11 Months Old!

Just one more month and our little girl will be a year old already! That seems so hard to believe, but we have sure had a blast so far! Everyday this last month she seems to becoming more and more like a toddler. She currently can get anywhere she wants and does go anywhere she wants. She loves to walk and wants to be on her feet constantly. She's usually spends most her time walking around the coffee table or her play table. Her favorite activities are still pushing her alligator toy around and clearing off our coffee table. I'm working on getting the house Kiana proofed, but everyday she reminds me that there are still things and places for her to get into. Were working on walking, but she doesn't quite feel confident not holding onto your hand. Although, she is getting better at walking while just holding onto one hand.

She's grown into most, but not all, of her 12 month clothes. Except for the clothes she's wearing below are actually size 9 month. She weighs roughly 16.5-17 lbs and is about 27-27.25 inches long. She's gonna finish off one more box of size 2 diapers then were moving into size 3. Kiana has been saying cat (most of the time it comes out as dat or gat), mom, and dad (I don't know where the mama's and dada's went). She is definitely expressing her voice more now. I'm starting to see the onset of temper tantrums. She throws her arms up in the air and smack them down again while letting out a scream. She even got pissed at me and threw her toys away when I tried giving them to her, all because I wouldn't let her continue to climb on me. It was a little hard for me not to just laugh at her. She's gotten into a habit of begging (moaning and yelling) at the dinner table. So we're trying to break her of this, because we have noticed that she is starting to become a not so restaurant friendly baby! She also started spitting about a week ago. Not very lady-like new habit, but she realized we weren't a fan when she projectile spit her food out at a restaurant the other day. Not sure if this is another possible teething symptom, but I'll believe it when I see a tooth come through.

We have realized that her favorite song to dance to is the Alphabet song! So I switch her toy below to a setting that just sings the alphabet song as you spin it. She also got to be a part of her first election on Tuesday. Here she is showing off her "I Voted" sticker!

As much as I love her wanting to snuggle with you, I can't even play with her on the floor anymore without her bee-lining to wanting to climb on me. She wont let me hold her though or put her on my lap, she just wants to climb on me.

Kiana is practicing feeding herself. At first she was doing it with her right hand, but quickly switched to her left hand. So maybe she will be left handed!!! She goes back and forth so often with different things that maybe she'll be ambidextrous.

Oops, she missed this time!
