11 months of pure Heaven!

Big surprise "I can't believe how fast time is flying!" I know, I know I say it every month but seriously where did March go? So Lydia is now 11 months old and doing and saying so many fun things. She is extremely mobile which is great in some ways and chellenging in others. It makes things like showering and going to the bathroom a little more awkward when she is either trying to open the door or pounding on it (I can now shower in record time!) Anyways here are a few of the new things that Lydia is doing lately.
-When you tell her "No, no" she will shake her head no! There is a vase in our entry way that every time she heads towards it I say "no, no" so now as she is crawling towards she just shakes her head and then turns around and giggles, like "I know what you are going to say!"
-She crawls, stands, sits, and our favorite scales over any obstacle in her way!
-She says, Mama, Dada, Uh Oh, Thank-you, uuuff uuuuff (woof woof), Hi, yuck (which sounds like buck, (now mind you none of these are perfect and some are sound inflections but you can tell when she is trying to say.
-She has two new top front teeth
-She will wave bye-bye
-She loves pickles, rice, baby carrots, and honey bunches of oats.
-She dances every time she hears music, it doesn't matter where she is or what she is doing she will stop and rock a beat to any music (i.e. commercials, cell phone ringers, elevator music you name it)
-She loves to play with other kids. Monday's my babysitter doesn't get here until about 3:10 and so I have Lydia with me while I'm teaching a 2-4 year old class and she loves watching the girls dance, she claps and giggles and tries to push the buttons on the stero it's pretty sweet.
-She claps for Che' whenever we play fetch and he brings the ball back.
-She loves to throw things and has somewhat of a destructive personality when it comes to playing with toys (I attribute that to Chris, we always tease him that he is like a bull in a china shop)
-She LOVES her Daddy, she is obsessed with Chris. If he comes in a room she will not take her eyes off of him until he picks her up and gives her the attention she wants.
-She loves to talk on the cell phone, and her calls are all to "Dada" she will open and close the cell phone for hours and have funny baby talk conversations to dada, but when we call Grandpa on the speaker phone she just get's scared and tries to turn it off.

Helping mom make cookies, by not helping mom make cookies (ha ha ha!)
There is a light on my camera that shines on you face to help with red eye and as soon as the light would turn on Lydia would look at that and not the camera!

Lydia is getting so big, she is a little girl now and not a baby. It is so hard to see her grow up but so fun to see everything that she is learning.

She always has to have something in her hands, and this was the only picture I could get where Lydia hadn't thrown the bunny as far away as possible. The cell phone is way cooler I guess.

She is growing up so fast.

Yeah for Lydia turning 11 months!
