(I know I've been totally MIA. Everything's fine, just busy with holiday stuff and life in general. My Reader is overflowing, I swear I will get caught up soon. Really.)
OMG - only one more month til you are a year old. How can it be?? Well, happy 11 month birthday, my sweet Critter Girl!!
This has been another busy busy month of developments for you Critter Girl! So what happened?
Pulling Up! You are pulling up on every last thing these days. You don't care if it is something stable - like the coffee table - or not-so-stable - like your play rocker - you will pull up on it. With varying success, as the bruises on your forehead prove. You look like a prize fighter.
Cruising! You will move your way around the room, touching and shaking and getting into everything in your reach. A whole new level of babyproofing is going on around here. You have also let go and stood (for a few seconds) by yourself. I won't be at all surprised if you walk soon.
Language! You say Mama (or Mom-mom, or just Mom, which is funny to hear you say) and Dada correctly. You know those are our names. You know Dada's voice, and when he calls during the day to check up on you, you love to talk to him on the phone. You hear him, light up and say "Dada!!" with such delight. And I know it's not just the phone that makes you say it - you talked to a girlfriend of mine, and just looked confused that it wasn't Dada on the phone. You also say "KiCa" for the Kitty Cat. So you know the names of all the important people in your life. It is so very super sweet. You are also waving now, and can clap and shake things on demand. You have become a little language sponge.
It seems like changes in you are happening so fast these days. One minute you are lying on the floor, the next you are up and moving all around, calling out for me. I can't wait to see what the next month holds for you. And I will be busy planning your first birthday party. Surreal, and exciting too.
I love you more than I ever thought possible, my sweet Critter Girl. I am so happy to be your Mama.

Ah, so many new changes! We are so lucky no one has fallen around here, even though they're cruising and pulling up like crazy and we have tile floors everywhere. Knock on wood...
