11 Months Old!

Only one month until the little lady turns one! I'd have a hard time believing it except for the fact that she is SO big! I still haven't gotten her weighed...terrible, I know...but I know she has grown a ton in the last few weeks. She's pretty much outgrown her 12 month sized clothes and is moving into the 18 month size ones. Not walking yet but she is starting to talk - she clearly says "mama," "daddy," and "Gigi" and I'm pretty sure she says "baby" but not with much regularity. She's added some more signs to her repertoire: she signs the words for "nurse," "please," and "hat" now consistently. There may be others that I am forgetting as well.
She's still eating like a champ - as is clear in this picture. She eats just about everything although her favorites are still anything with cheese or carbs. She does like her veggies as well (just like Henry!) - in fact broccoli and cauliflower are two of her favorites. Carrots, string beans, asparagus and zucchini are also popular. She isn't a huge fruit eater although she does like the little squeeze pouches of fruit I give her on occasion. The few little sips of cows milk she's gotten have been huge hits so I'm even more hesitant to introduce milk in greater quantities anytime soon in fear she'll favor it over nursing.
She loves exploring - she's much more mischievous than I remember Henry being. She likes to open drawers, try to climb up on things, pull books off the shelf, pull all the toys out of their bins, etc., etc. I caught her climbing into a laundry basket the other day only to have it tip over onto its side, at which point she just crawled into it like it was a cave and was thoroughly delighted with herself.
 Speaking of climbing, the above picture is why she's not going to be taking anymore baths in the kitchen sink! The video is just a little montage of some random moments I caught on camera today.
