11 months old

Happy 11 month birthday Avery Jo! 

Here are some things we've noticed about Avery this past month:

• She has gotten more hair and it looks like its getting darker
• 2 days after her 10 month birthday Avery started crawling off her tummy (on her hands and knees)!
• She will wave, clap, shake her head and blow kisses by us just telling her. Its amazing how much she understands now!
• I love watching Ave sleep on her monitor. She often falls asleep on her tummy with her little booty in the air, so cute, when she gets up her tummy is really warm, she's a little heater like her momma!
• Avery took her first airplane ride! Sept 9 we flew to Florida, she did great and really liked the flight attendant! I even got her to fall asleep in my arms, first time since she was a newborn.
• She got to visit the beach for the first time while on vacation
• Avery learned how to drink from a straw!
• She also learned 2 signs this month, airplane and all done!
• While on vacation Avery would tell you what a cat says. She would make this noise that sounded alot like target!
• She still sleeps 12-13 hours at night and takes 2 (1.5-2hr) naps a day!
• Avery will give just about anyone kisses
• She has a funny obsession with shoes, as soon as I set her down on the floor she goes right for any shoes around!
• She started tilting her head while in her high chair and she has a new face, she likes to scrunch up her nose! its so cute!
• She has started really exercising her vocal chords. Seems like she loves to yell while we're out shopping! She also loves sitting in the shopping cart and trying to grab everything she can!
• When we go get Avery from her crib we say "Avery, no paci", she immediately spits it out! Parker got such a kick out of telling this to Avery while we were on vacation.
• Avery is in size 3 diapers, soon moving to size 4 and wears 12mo and 12-18 month clothes!
• She loves to eat and will finally eat stage 3 baby food.
• She has 5 teeth now! Fortunately, she hasn't seem bothered by the new ones.
• She is terrified of the vacuum and my hair dryer. she crawled in my room when I was drying my hair one day and I looked over to see her completely sobbing. :(
• Avery can pull up on pretty much anything and loves to cruise around however, now that she can crawl she isn't as interested in walking around!
• Avery is very content to play by herself and dosesn't get mad if I leave the room anymore, she usually follows me a few minutes later!

Can't believe she's almost ONE YEAR OLD!!
