Eleven Months

Still loving this stage...
Evie is such a little charmer. She is full of smiles and laughs. She has never met a stranger. She is happy and bubbly whenever people are around. Evie had a great first Christmas in Iowa. She was incredibly spoiled with gifts and attention. She loved every minute of it. 

She's so playful at this stage. Everything is a toy - tupperware, toilet paper, car keys... everything. We've finished baby-proofing the condo. She has gotten too good at opening drawers and cabinets. We've left some drawers accessible to her because there's nothing dangerous in them and she loves playing in drawers. Everything else is locked up. Brady and I have to use a magnet to open nearly every cabinet in our kitchen and bathroom😒 Evie also loves rough-housing with Brady. She spends a lot of time upside down, flying through the air, spinning in circles. She's a little thrill-seeker. She's always rolling with laughter while playing with Brady. 

This girl is also sleeping like a champ👊 I haven't had to get up in the night in TWO WEEKS. She's going to bed at 7:00PM and waking around 6:30-7:00AM. She's crushing it. I hope it lasts, but teething always ruins these good runs. 

Evie loves food and she eats a lot. The amount of food she puts away always surprises my mom. Current favorites are pancakes (made with eggs, banana, oatmeal), omelets, blueberries, blackberries, kiwi, sweet potatoes, salmon, ground turkey. She tried oysters and kimchi fried rice for the first time and loved them both. She also tried a mini chocolate cupcake (for my birthday) and devoured it! 

She's become quite the little chatterbox. There's a lot of "dada" and a fair amount of "mama." Sometimes it seems like she's referring to us and other times it's just babbling. She's also started standing independently. It's usually only 5-30 seconds. It's longer when she has something in her hands to distract her. We're getting dangerously close to the walking stage. I'm not ready for a walking baby😩

No new teeth! That makes it a great month. However, those molars are still swollen. I think they'll come in soon.
