Eleven months

Oh Miss Piper, I will continue to tell you to stop growing...for the rest of your life. You are my sweet baby, STOP GROWING! It breaks my heart to think about you turning one. Yes, you are a pain in the ass in more ways than one but mostly b/c we spend most of our time trying to keep you out of trouble.

 

Miss Piper:

- is taking up to 4 steps by herself *sigh*

- can head bang when tell her to 'rock n roll' or 'rock on'. I have a video but can't get it to upload!

- does so-big, waves bye-bye....we are working on pat-a-cake and blowing kisses

- is basically wearing all 12 month clothes

- loves real food! We still give her baby food for fruits and veggies, she is down to less than 3 bottles a day and we'll probably work on getting that down to just her night time bottle in the next month or two.

- has NO fear of anything and it is exhausting. She'll climb all the way up our stairs (and of course wants to go back down head first!). She climbs on, under and in everything. The playground at the mall, she crawl over to strangers, she'll climb on other kids, she climb up the stairs and go down the slide head first, she'll climb UP the slide part. I didn't think there was any way she was going to be able to pull herself up that slide, but she sure did...over and over again. She doesn't care if there are kids bigger than her trying to come down right on top of her...she just smiles and continues on her mission

- is like a drug to Presley. Presley CANNOT leave her alone. She must pick her up and carry her, she must yell at her, she must say "Piper, no!"..."No, Piper!" at least 388 times a day! But Piper finds her very funny too!

- still only has her two bottom teeth. You know how last month we thought she was getting her top teeth, well they still aren't through....so we must have been wrong. But now her left top tooth is slowly poking through...I swear!

- growls and grunts all the time. Now we have been blessed with ear piercing screams....just for fun! Her and P will have screaming contests and you can't tell who is who b/c they sound identical. I know you are dying to hear/see a video of that...I'll work on it!
