11 Months Old!

Olivia is 11 months old today! I can't believe this time next month we will be celebrating her 1st Birthday, the time has gone way too fast. I have attached some pictures of her doing some of her favorite things as well as some new things.

She is babbling a lot - she kind of says a few words; "up" and "ball", nods her head for yes and no, etc. She is completely off her bottle now and just uses a sippy cup. She eats normal meals and snacks, just like a big kid. She loves to stand up on everything and takes a few steps around furniture. One of her new favorite things to do is to get 2 of the same things in each of her hands and then she crawls around and hits them on the floor. Recently, her 2 favorite things have been 2 golf balls (not so good on the wood floor) or 2 little dog dishes from Avery's Polly Pockets. Mike and I remember when Avery did this too at this age. She is a very content and happy baby, we have been enjoying every moment!

Here is Olivia all tuckered out on Sunday night. She was playing around on the couch with Mike and I and all of a sudden we both looked and she had fallen asleep.

One of her favorite things to do is to look at books (even if they are upside down!)

Olivia had her first sucker last night and LOVED it!

Here she is pounding on the patio door. She loves being outside! Mike is an avid Martin lover, so we have a huge bird house and many martins in our back yard. Olivia loves to watch them all fly around the back yard.

Standing up on the coffee table is also a favorite thing of hers. She now just holds on with one hand and bends down to get her toys, etc. It is funny to watch them figure out how to do those things. And after many bumps on her head, she figured out the perfect way to do it!
