11 Months


Hattie is 11 months old!  I can't believe my baby is going to turn 1 soon!  Hattie is ALL over the place these days.  She is crawling, standing, cruising, and climbing!  I think we have a little monkey on our hands.  This little girl has developed a clear opinion on things and knows how to express what she likes and doesn't like.  She is not going to be a push-over, that's for sure :) 
She has also turned into an eating machine this month.  She will eat anything you give her and lots of it, although I'm not sure where she puts it, she's still pretty petite.  We have discovered that she loves cottage cheese, which makes me want to gag every time I feed it to her :)  Kiwi and blueberries are her favorite fruits this month.  Thankfully, she cut two more teeth just this week, so we might get to expand our food repertoire. 
I think we also have a first word- kitty! Hattie says, "yeye" every time I open her curtains (and there is usually a cat or two in the yard).  She will also point outside if you ask her where the kitties are.  I think Yeye also means Ainslee and Grammie.  Mama and Dada are still used, but I'm not sure if they really mean anything to her yet :( 
Hattie has become so good at playing by herself.  She can keep her self entertained for over 30 minutes just playing with her toys and books.  She loves putting things into a bucket or cup.  She's definitely trying to figure out what goes with what and how things fit together.  It's so fun to watch her explore.  She seems to have a lot of patience when trying things out, hopefully this will be a lifelong  trait (one that most definitely came from Daddy).  She still loves to play and wrestle with her sister too.  They have so much fun laughing together and Ainslee gets so excited when Hattie does something new.  I hope these two will always have fun together.

Hey Hattie, how old are you going to be next month?!
 Can you see those cute little teeth?
