so...

Remember what we said about practicing our walking? Check out this video.

I'd say she's almost there!

bottle

Add bottle to our list of words we can say! Brian has been very insistent that it's not a "baba." And his work paid off, today I gave her a bottle and she asked me, "What is that?" I told her, "It's your bottle." And she said, "bottle!" Big girl!

Check back later for a very exciting video!

so many words

Alexa has become rather chatty and has picked up a lot of new words, and she knows when to use them!

Alexa can say:

-mama
-dada
-Thank you (it sounds like taa too), she'll say this when you hand her a toy or she hears you say it!
-doggy
-uh-oh
-no (this sometimes includes a finger shake, and sometimes can go on for a while-- nononono!)
-hello (hewwo-- so cute!)
and last but not least...
-What is that? (She does this in new places especially and will point to what she's asking about...)

What a big girl at 11 months! We're still working on walking! She's taken about 4 steps on her own. She can do it, she just needs to be brave!
