11 Months Old

Yes, it is that time again!  We are now only a month away from celebrating one whole year with our little Maclain.  We are smitten with our sweet girl:

Some tidbits:
-Definitely lets you know what she does and does not want... either by shrieking very loudly or pointing
-Takes one big nap a day, usually 2:00-5:00
-Is not all that interested in her bottles anymore... it is a struggle to get her to take as many ounces a day as she is supposed to be getting.
-Is NOT snuggly... she is too busy for snuggles.  She wants to be down and on the go at all times
-We are still having to use the bath seat for now because she wants to be all over the place and tries to crawl out or drink the water from the spout.  Crazy girl!
-Will try any food we give her, but does not like much except crackers and cheerios/puffs at this point
-Is getting faster at cruising
-Is a big climber.  She can climb onto the train table that is in the play room and can climb into Maddox's bed.  Her favorite place to climb into is the dish washer.
-Loves riding on Daniel's shoulders
-Still has stranger anxiety, but we have discovered she does better at church if Daniel drops her off at class and the nursery than she does if I take her
-Not into books yet, she closes most of them as soon as I open them to read to her

Can't wait to celebrate her 1st birthday next month! :)
