Leah Kate: 11 month update

Leah Kate is doing a lot of the same things as last month, but the main thing I have noticed is how much she has slimmed up. All of that moving around and pulling up has made her lose some of her baby weight :( She is getting taller and still weighs 23 pounds. It has been nice that she has been able to wear her current clothes longer than just a few weeks! She has FOUR teeth coming in on the top which has been fun... Not! She actually has done pretty well with it considering how bad that probably hurts. She had her first little illness this month with pink eye. She looked so pitiful! Thankfully she got better quickly after starting eye drops. She now gives us hugs without us asking for one, and it makes our day!!

Leah Kate has loved her walker that MiMi (my mom) got her! She will make laps around the living room with it! She still isn't walking independently yet, but is definitely getting closer! Grandma Dorothy (Jeremy's mom) got her some pots and pans to go with her new play kitchen which she LOVES. I was hoping with a kitchen of her own, she may not want my pots as often!

She really enjoyed going to the beach this month with my family. She wasn't as scared of the sand and water as she was the first time we went. Leah loved having a new place to explore! I can tell we have been saying "no" a lot since she can get into our things now. She will look at something she shouldn't have and say "no, no!" She will then proceed to try and get it anyway... It sounds so cute when she says it, but we are trying to be more conscious of when we say it! She also started saying "door" and "wow" this month!  Well, I think that is about it! Can't believe I am planning her birthday party for next month... The fact she will be turning one blows my mind!
