11 months

Today, (can you believe I'm actually posting on the exact day this time) Bailey is 11 months old. She is so precious and fun. Her newest discovery this month is FOOD. She will eat anything and any amount that we are willing to give her. She has always been a good eater and liked all baby foods but now that she is eating table food, she can't seem to get enough. She has eaten and liked: peaches, pears, carrots, green beans, rice, tomatoes, chicken, cheese, spaghetti, chicken casseroles, ground turkey, sweet potatoes, meat sticks, meatloaf, applesauce, and of course french fries. When we put her in her high chair, she wants food and she will keep eating food until we get her out of the high chair. If the food stops, then she gets mad and shows her temper. Here is a picture of her eating spaghetti. She looks mad because she is. Her plate is empty and she wants more food.

Also this month Bailey is starting to use her legs a little more. She is "cruising" down the couch and starting to push her walking toys (with a little help). I have also noticed in the last few days that she is starting to let go of things and balance on her own. She hasn't taken any steps and after a few seconds she plops to her bottom, but it is a start.

One other new thing is that she is starting to ween herself off of her morning nap. She dozes in the morning if we are doing errands, or if we are at home, she only sleeps about 45 minutes. She has always taken a good afternoon nap, so it hasn't really effected that nap. She still sleeps about 3 hours in the afternoon (give or take). I am actually looking forward to her not having a morning nap because then I won't always have to be in a rush to get home in the morning.
