11 Months

Lily is 11 months old now. I can't believe she is only a month away from being one! She is still such a fun baby and just loves to smile all of the time...except when she is screaming at you haha. She is starting to get her own little sense of humor and does little things that make herself laugh or make us laugh...in which case she will do them over and over again.

Her big triumphs this month were dominating the stairs. She can go up them very quickly now and can go down as well, but is still a little hesitant and wants us watching her when she is going down. She was obsessed with the stairs for about a week and a half and we spent most of our time going up and down and up and down.

She also took her first steps this month! I guess one night she was just feeling really courageous and kept trying to walk back and forth from me to Luke. She took two little steps in a row without falling over and was so proud of herself. She apparently got enough of walking that night though because she has only done it a couple of times since and still prefers to crawl.

Halloween was so fun with her! Although she did not really understand what was going on, she loved being outside, loved watching all of the crazy dressed up people, and is now obsessed with suckers:) Lily dressed up as a zebra and Luke was the "zookeeper" who carried her around. This is the first time that I have been able to get Luke to dress up for Halloween, thanks to Lil:)
