In typical Wills style:
He waits 15 minutes to get a turn in the bouncy house. And check out what he’s actually doing in there…
Lea at 11 Months
(Figured it best I give you her 11 month update before she turns 1! :)
Our little munchkin is getting bigger, stronger, and more verbal.
At 11 months, Lea is:
- Talking a ton: Her favorite words are Lea, mama, daddy, da (done), mo (more), yea (yes) and na (no). Lea sings her name over and over again when she is sitting in her crib. She also has the amazing ability to repeat words that we say to her. For example, I was showing her a picture of a bumble bee the other day, and actually said, “ba ba bee”. She also seems to understand a lot of what we say.
- Pulling herself up to standing: She just started standing up on her own, but she is quite steady. She is also just beginning to walk with her legs when we hold on to her arms.
- Eating up a storm: Lea literally eats almost anything we put in front of her. She clearly communicates to us when she is “da” or when she wants “mo”.
- Smiling and laughing a lot
- Loving singing and dancing: I think it is her absolute favorite thing to do. Her favorite songs are from our Music Together class, and she sings and claps along.
- Wanting everything Wills has. And he wants everything she has! She is coloring, trying to use stickers, and taking his milk sippy cups for herself.
- Adoring her brother. Whenever she seems him, she starts smiling and laughing. I really feel like they are each other’s best friends. Nothing could make a mother more happy!
- She gives kisses: I am still trying to capture it on camera, but it is the sweetest thing!
- So very lovable: The girl loves to hug and be held. She is constantly reaching up for one of us to lift her. She is my little lovebug.
