11 Months Old

From October 09

I am just not sure how it is even possible that Devin is 11 months old!

What is she up to these days?

Devin weighs around 19-20 pounds. I need to check this.

Devin is still in a size 3 diaper.

Devin is still in 12 month clothes but I have been buying all 18 month clothes so they will get her all the way through winter.

Devin and Daddy had their first overnight alone without mommy...it was actually 2! It went better than both Chris and I expected. Devin, Kortnee and I are so lucky to have such a good man in our lives! He handled it like a champ! Good job daddy!

Devin starting waving and clapping all in the same week. A lot of days when I go to pick her up from daycare, they tell me she has been waving and clapping at them all day long!

Devin has been taking steps like a mad woman. I won't be surprised at all if she is walking by her first birthday. Yesterday she was walking back and forth between Chris and I and taking 4-5 steps at a time. As soon as I turned on the video camera though she was DONE!

Devin has gone from eating all of her favorite food at dinner and picking at the rest, to eating almost every bite of everything I give her every night! We have one growing girl on our hands!

Devin is also tolerating far more chunky foods than last month. I am still cautious, but starting to not cut things into such tiny bites anymore.

Speaking of tiny bites, Devin is super efficient with her pincher grasp now!

Devin is using her walking toy and turning it around and using it to walk wherever she wants to all the time now.

Devin is still obsessed with the animals. She is always trying to climb in the dog crates and loves to pet the dogs and cats! She and Izzy seem to adore each other the most.

Devin has a 5th tooth coming in on the top right! I am sure there are more to follow very soon as they normally arrive in pairs.

Devin has become very shy lately when we are in new situations, even around people she knows. She lightens up pretty quickly, but definitely has a shy side coming out. She is very much like Kortnee in this respect.

I am sure she has been doing lots more new stuff but it is happening at lightning speed and hard to keep up with!

I can't believe that in one short month we will be celebrating her first birthday!
