11 months old!!

 Our little princess is 11 months old!!  Eek!!  She is getting so big too fast.  We can hardly believe that next month we'll have a one year old!  We took her onesie pics on a somewhat breezy day here in AZ so now we know what she'd look like if she inherited her brother's hair ;)

Ashley continues to be such an easy baby!  She is a complete second child who goes with the flow.  She loves to play with anything that has the loudest sounds.  And she much prefers if three or four of these loud toys are playing simultaneously! 

 She is eating some finger foods but still prefers to be spoon-fed.  Once in a while she grabs at the spoon to feed herself but she is perfectly content being fed.  Her new favorite food?  Coconut milk yogurt!  She can't try regular milk yogurt yet but this works great!

 She is starting to get a bit feisty when it comes to big brother taking her toys.  She grabs on tighter to whatever she is holding that he 'wants' and lets out a big old squeal to show her displeasure with what he is doing. 

She is standing next to furniture and sometimes creeps her way around but mainly just stays in one spot.  She isn't too keen on walking with assistance or behind a walker toy.  Army crawling, although she is up on all fours most of the time now, is her preferred way of getting around if no one is around to pick her up. 

 She is consistently sleeping 7pm-7am or so (minus the evenings a babysitter puts her to bed.  Then she wakes up around 4am to check and make sure Mommy got home okay).  She has started not wanting to be rocked before bed or even sung any songs.  So she nurses and goes to bed like a big girl.  Kinda sad for Mommy.

Although, Ashley makes up for it by calling out "Mama' when she is ready to get out of her crib or if she wants something.  She is a very vocal girl.  Talks non-stop!  We can make out Mama, Dada, ball and she has a special word for big brother that sounds like T but not exactly.  She isn't doing any signs back yet but recognizes them all.  Overall we are very blessed with one happy, cute, healthy baby girl and a big brother that just adores her.  Life is good!
