11 Months

Addison turned 11 months old on the 13th. Only 1 more month and she'll be a year old...hard to believe! So at 11 months, Addison...

-likes to climb any stairs around and will go down only if she wants...which isn't very often :)
-loves to play with shoes and grunts the whole time!
-opens drawers and takes everything out of them. Her favorites are her pajama drawer and the kitchen towel drawer.
-has discovered screaming again. She does it either when she's having a lot of fun playing, or when she is mad that she didn't get her way.
-likes to "throw" balls.
-is starting to figure out how to put toys into containers, instead of just taking them out.
-likes to take magnets off the fridge and put them back on.
-while she thought I wasn't watching, she actually stood up completely by herself in the middle of the hallway while playing with a toy, then took a couple steps, then sat back down, then stood up again, took another step...and then realized I was watching and crawled over to me :) We thought she'd definitely be walking by her 1st birthday, but I'm not so sure now!
-drops all her pacifiers on the floor when she wakes up in the morning or after her naps. We keep extras in there to help her find one when she wakes up but isn't ready to get up yet :)
-has finally learned how to drink out of a sippy cup.
-talks a lot and makes many facial expressions that make it seem like she knows exactly what she's talking about and we should understand her completely!
