Only one more month until the big one! Amelia celebrated her 11 month birthday by finally cutting a tooth a few days earlier. Her top front tooth has popped and we think the other one will come through soon.
Amelia is cruising along furniture and can walk with her push toy or anything else that is sturdy but moves. She gets a big grin on her face like she is so proud of herself.
She is starting to hold her own against Allison in the battle for toys. The tables are turning and it is often Allison that is screaming because Amelia stole her toys. Amelia is pretty good when it comes to playing by herself; she likes putting "things into things" whether it is books into a basket, blocks into a storage box, or her magnets into a Puffs container.
Amelia loves food but cannot stand her bibs. As soon as we put a bib on her, she immediately pulls it off. She even figured out how to pull off the snap kind. We have also tried the pullover bibs, but she pulls on them so hard that she has stretched them out leaving a big gap between the bib and her neck, which allows the food to slide down. She is our eating machine and has yet to find a food that she doesn't like. We usually will give her any food that Allison refuses to eat.
Amelia is becoming much more active and is finding new ways to get into trouble. We have to keep a constant eye on her. It is funny because she has found the exact same "trouble zones" that Allison did at that age, including the CDs. I told Brian the other day that I would reorganize the CDs six months from now when Amelia grows out of finding a thrill in pulling them out of the storage rack.
Everyday she brings so much joy into our family and we are so grateful to have her.
