Quinn - 11 months

Seriously....seriously, we are only one month away from my baby being ONE???? I guess this mamma better come to terms with that because its coming whether I like it or not! This little girl has learned all sorts of new things this month! She LOVES to be outside and eat ANYTHING that she finds on the ground (that's fun!). Her favorite is leaves! She has even started to try to run away from us if we are coming after her to get something out of her mouth, then as soon as we get there she spits it out!  If one of us is playing with Jude outside we'll put her on the trampoline with the net with some toys and she'll just play in there forever! She is not only pulling up on everything, but has even stood on her own a few times. She still seems to prefer crawling, and tends to restore to the bear crawl a lot to save her poor little knees.  She is definitely still a mamma's girl, but she has been even  more obsessed with her daddy lately! She gets so excited when he comes home, and is the first thing she asks and looks for in the morning - da-da! She also loves playing with Jude.  She is one tough cookie though because he'll start "wrestling" with her and all she does is laugh and try to climb on him; I'm just thinking, "girl you are crazy"!! She also loves to just sit and watch him play.  If he is outside, she will just stand at the backdoor to watch all that he is doing and yell at him! She can't wait to be out there running around with him. I could seriously snuggle with this girl all day, but not sure she would let me.  She is getting a bit more busy and wants to explore on the floor.  She is pretty independent and content the majority of the time just doing her own thing. She has been a bit more clingy though due to her top two teeth making their way out.  They make her look so much older though! Here are a few pics from our adventures this month.

Mommy and pretty Quinn 

Just doing her thing

Her teething face, poor baby

-She is eating like a champ and still likes most things that we give to her.  She is also doing so well with finger foods, and she even likes the meats that we are introducing. Up next up, using a spoon and sippy cup!

-Her favorite things to play with are any of brother’s toys, things that she can shake and socks.  That’s right, she always has someone’s sock in her hand taking it everywhere she goes.  I don’t even know how she finds them half of the time!

-She has started this funny sliding move when she is crawling towards something she wants.  You know she is after something because she'll start breathing hard and crawling fast, and then right before she gets there she reaches out and slides to the object!

-There is no guessing when Quinn is done eating.  Especially when she is done with a bottle she gets it in her hands and just tosses it.  And don’t try to put it back in, she’ll just swat it away.  A girl that knows what she wants!

-She is doing really well with her baby sign language.  It cracks us up though because when she is eating, she pretty much keeps her hands in a constant state of “more”!

-I think Quinn might have a future in leg wrestling! If you are trying to dress her, change her diaper, tickle her, or just when she gets excited she’ll lift both of her legs up and slam them down.  She’s strong too!

-She loves to give kisses, and especially to other babies.  She needs work on her technique though, because she goes right at them and usually ends up head-butting them!

-She now has four teeth, two on the top and two on the bottom.  Wears size 4 diapers and 9 and 12 month clothes.
