11 months

At 11 months old Morgan:

weighs 20 pounds.

is walking around, basically running, like crazy. She's done with crawling and can't get where she wants to go fast enough.

cheeses big time! She has started to do this a little bit when I pull the camera out but mainly does it for no reason at all. She just puts on the biggest smile with those cute squinty eyes. It's cuteness overload!

is refusing to take an afternoon nap. I read that toddlers sometimes do this after a year old, so I was very surprised when she started doing this at 10 and 1/2 months. Course the girl has never liked to sleep so should I really be that surprised?! She has also chewed her crib up. When she lays down for a nap she usually plays for about 30 minutes to an hour. The other day we went to check on her and noticed she had some paper in her mouth. We went in to investigate and found that she had eaten the spine of her book, chewed the crib rail till the wood is showing through and chewed paint off on the other rail. Oh my! I don't know what we are going to do with her!

is still waking up between 12:00 and 3:00 to take a bottle and then again between 3:00 and 6:00 for another bottle and goes back to sleep until around 7:00 or 8:00.

is eating less and less baby food, and more and more real food. Use to when she was full she would start to spit her food out. Now she just lets it run down her chin because she thinks it's fun. She does the same thing with her drinks too. How we break this habit, I'm not sure. She still takes a bottle every 4 hours but does not always take the whole thing. For a while she was only taking about 2-3 ounces, but has started back to taking between 4-6.

has started to hit and bite. She's not huge on the biting yet, and hasn't taken a plug out of anyone but I know it's coming.

loves to blow kisses but now she won't give you kisses. :(

signs milk for a bottle and a drink. Has just now started to sign eat when you ask her if she wants to eat. She signs milk all the time.

can drink from a straw and a cup pretty well. The straw better then the cup.

loves Abby to death. She always want to know where she is and loves and loves on her. We have been trying to teach her to not be so rough with Abby. Sometimes she will hit her, pull her ears or pinch her. She's not doing it to be mean, just doesn't understand.
