11 Months

Ahh! Where did the year go?  I can't believe the girls are 11 month old. They are both in size 3 diapers and wear 18 month clothes. Ellie still loves stuffed animals and trying to put on clothes. She has turned into a monkey and wants to climb EVERYTHING. She wakes up at 5:00 every single day even though she sleeps well at night. She has decided that she likes to be held, especially in the morning. She has 6 teeth and is a really good eater. Fruits and veggies aren't her favorite but she loves everything else. She is trying really hard to walk and can take about 4 steps before she falls. She is babbling a little more but still isn't too interested in mimicking anything.  She has started to shake her head no. Audrey really likes to hand me things. She gives me a lot of books to read. She also likes to put objects into containers. She sleeps through the night but usually cries out several times. She is still pretty opinionated and really hates to sit in the high chair. She cries a lot, even at the tiniest little bumps. She still has no teeth but her gums are getting bumpy. She really likes fruit, especially bananas and blueberries. She can walk across an entire room and has just started to use walking as the preferred method to get around.  She mimics most actions, loves to wave and will try to copy most sounds. Neither girl is drinking bottles regularly except at night. I offer them three times a day but they only finish the bedtime bottles, which are 7 ounces.
