11 Months Old!

I don't know why these pictures came out so dark...
This is the craziest post I've ever done. I absolutely can not believe that Abby is 11 months old. One month from today we will celebrate the first year of her life! To me she is still a little baby.Abby is fun and sweet and smiley. She is into everything and everything is in her mouth! She is a super crawler and she loves to climb, but she is nowhere near walking. She pulls up, but she doesn't even try to walk holding on to furniture and she doesn't stand alone.
She is a big eater. At this point she mostly eats vegetables, but she has tried and liked turkey and ham. She doesn't have the vegetarian bent her brother does, but she does LOVE soy 'meats'. She loves fruit except for raspberries. She likes beans. As far as grains go she eats Baby Oatmeal and Cheerios though she did have her first piece of whole wheat toast this weekend and she really liked that. She is still nursing...ummm...a lot, but I have started in the past couple of days trying to wean her down to four times a day. Once we get in a groove with that I'll start really working on weaning her. We did introduce the sippy cup this weekend and she is working on that. She did not reject it the way her brother did and we are seeing pretty good progress already.
She wears 18 month clothes and size 3 diapers. She sleeps from about 6:30pm until 6:30am without waking. She takes an early morning nap around 8 and sleeps for an hour to an hour and a half. She takes a nap right after lunch and sleeps about an hour and a half.
She's got six teeth in and she may be working on a few more.
She enjoys books (chewing on them and listening to them being read). She loves the Alphabet Train she got for Christmas and Silly Town (the absolute best gift EVER. Aaron got it from Grandma Sheri and Grandpa Tom when he was nine months old. It has been played with almost every single day since. I have plenty of Blog posts with Silly Town in the background). She loves looking outside and being outside. She loves watching her brother and playing with him. It is so fun to watch them interacting now. She LOVES to play peekaboo. Not only does she hide her eyes, she crouches down and ducks her head so she is really hidden. HA!
