Megan at 11 months

Our sweet little Meggie is 11 months old today!!  Amy and I started looking at cakes today at Costco to get ideas for Meg's birthday.  Amy thinks Meg would like a cake with a rainbow on it.

Meg is doing awesome.  She eats all kinds of foods- she really loves bananas, yogurt, and crackers.  She is having a hard time with teething, but I don't know too many babies who don't.  She takes one long nap a day (from 11 to 1), and a shorter one in the evening.  She goes to bed at 7 each night, and is up around 5:30 in the morning to eat.  On weekends she will go back to bed until about 7:30.

The most exciting thing going on with Meg these days is her walking.  In the past three days she has stopped crawling, and is only walking.  She can even get up from the middle of the floor.  Her balance has gotten really good to.  Sometimes she looks like she is going to fall, then she squats down, and slowly lift herself back up to a stand.

I think the biggest surprise has been just how much the girls love each other.  Amy lets Megan play with pretty much anything she wants in her room.  Megan loves following her big sister around.  When Amy plays outside, Meg will go to the window and wave to her.  Amy will go to the window and talk to her.  They both love it.

That's another thing- Meggie loves to wave and mimic talking.  She will babble a "hi" and "bye bye" as she waves.  She also likes to say "uh oh" when she throws drops something.

We don't go in for a check up for another month, but Meg is definitely following in her big sisters big footsteps.  She is wearing a size 3 diaper, and 18 month clothing fits her the best.

We love you Megan!!!
