11 months

Sweet little Paige 11 months old today.  How can that be?  She is growing up so fast.  Although, she seems to still be quite the little peanut.  She eats a ton, but doesn't pack on the chub.  With 8 teeth and counting (looks like some 1st year molars might be coming in) she prefers solids to pureed foods.  She eats mostly what we eat.  Some of her favorite foods are cheerios (Trader Joes' Os) and chicken and sand.  When she sees me holding the box of the first she practically hyperventilates she is so excited.  Those also get us through much of church.  She also loves any fruit. 

 Here she is wearing an Avocado Mask after dinner the other night. 

Paige is really thinking about walking.  She can take about 5 or 6 steps before falling forward into a full body splat.  Crawling is much faster at this point, and this girl can move quickly. 

She has started to "talk" a lot, and has a much higher pitched voice than I thought she would.  She seems very intent on communicating when she is jabbering, like she expects us to know what she is saying. 

Two behaviors we are hoping she outgrows: 
1.  Waking up in the 5-6 am hour.  (Too early!)
2. Pulling hair.  I think she is jealous of those of us who have hair--Zoey especially.
