Eleven Happy Months

This month's photo shoot happened early last week.  For the last 10 months Ever has been such a compliant model for me.  She'll give me her biggest smiles and kick excitedly while I snap 20 or 30 shots (I'm officially a mom, 20 shots is no biggie).  


This month, not so much.  She was a little squirm for sure.  The second after I put her down she'd be positioned like the last photo.   You can see her gearing up for the flip above.


She's tasted freedom and no giant mama (even with dad's iphone) is going to deter her from the promised land of running around playing with Owen.


Little chubby cheeked bug.

At 11 months, Ever:

-is  walking.  All over, all the time.  I turned around yesterday and she was standing in the doorway to the kitchen.  Her big grin showed how pleased she was with herself for sneaking away from Dad and Owen to find me. 

- eats more than Owen.  The girl loves everything.  When she's done she'll fake you out - opening her mouth and then, just before the spoon hits, turning her head away and covering her mouth with her tiny fist.  She also will stick her tongue out and spit when you clean off her face.

- loves to point at things.  Usually with two arms stretched straight by her ears.

- Says "Wooooooww!" and "Yea!"  Also knows dada and nainai (night night) and mama but those are used more rarely.  She can blow kisses (sticks her finger in her mouth), and sign please (clapping).  But where she really excels is sound effects.  She does car noises, cows, and ducks pretty distinctly and tries other animals too.  

- loves people.  She gets so excited when we're on a walk and we see anyone or anything.  She'll scream at them and point and wave.

- has just about 6 teeth.  They're almost all through.


In about 2 weeks this little one will be 1!  So excited about the life we have ahead with her.
