{11 months}

This is my last "month" post.

My baby will be 1 in just 1 measly month.

AHHH!

I'll stop panicking and enjoy this sweet chubber baby

a little bit longer before she's walking and sassing back at me.

Stella is still a perfect angel.

Her only pitfall as of late is that she gets into EVERYTHING!

...toy bins, the dishwasher, book cases, clothes drawers...

We've named her the "dumper"...

mostly because she loves to dump out toy bins

and dump in her pants multiple times a day.

I've always said I will take a regular kid over a constipated one

anyday, but she's making me start to doubt.

Let's just say she does get into everything,

but she's never gotten into her diaper,

so here's to hoping we keep it that way!

Everything ends up in her mouth.

It could be food, a block, my fingers or the cart at the grocery store.

She likes all flavors.

Her favorite lately is string cheese

and chocolate milk (I only gave it to her once because

it scared me how fast she chugged it...it was an addiction waiting to happen).

I think she's still cutting teeth every week.

She's gained 2 new ones this month.

She's also been enjoying books a lot more.

I always start reading to my kids as wee little babies,

but she's taken awhile to show any interest.

Now she can fetch a book and will sit through

listening to it on my lap.

Her favorites are ones with mirrors.

Yes, she loves to look at herself...

I don't blame her, she's pretty darn cute.

Most importantly of all,

she's happy and healthy

and we love her to bits.
