Eleven Months

Mary is now eleven months old!

She loves music, clapping, and drumming and still wiggles when she’s happy.  

One of her favorite things is watching Daddy grind coffee. If she hears him pouring coffee beans in the grinder, she makes a beeline for the kitchen and gets excited.

She likes making up games with people. For example, recently we made up a game where she handed me an object and I balanced it on her head. Then we would laugh when it fell off. Some of the things we tried were nesting cups (including two or three at a time stacked on top of each other), wash cloths, and plastic bowls.

She also likes getting pushed over on the bed and having her feet tickled by Daddy’s beard. These things make her laugh all the time.

She’s seeming more and more like a toddler and less and less like a baby.

It’s crazy that this is the last “month” milestone. I mean, it feels like she’s been around for almost a year, and she has changed enough in that time for at least five or six years! But it’s still hard to believe that sweet baby Mary is almost a year old.
