11 months

11 months is sure a busy age!! Viv isn't walking yet but is cruising around furniture easily. She will stand by herself for 10-15 seconds but hasn't tried to take any steps yet. She loves to throw things and empty out containers. She says Mama, Dada (still not really associated with either of us) and will utter 'Uh-oh!' easily when prompted. Her top two teeth are coming in. She's still obsessed with anything we have such as the computer, phones, remotes and pens. She's developed a temper and will clearly utter her disapproval when she doesn't get what she wants. She is still a super picky eater and I haven't had much luck getting her to feed herself or use a sippy cup. She still will only feed herself Puffs and Yogurt Melts. She will eat chunks of fruit if I feed it to her....reluctantly....but she only pokes at them if I put them on her tray. She's obsessed with the dog's water dishes and so they spend most of the day on the kitchen table (the dishes, not the dogs, ha!). She's also discovered the toilet paper. She still sleeps well at night and takes 1-2 naps a day. She seems to enjoy sitting on laps more now and will actually hold still for a few moments. Last night she was thoroughly interested in reading...and is really into 'flap' books...or the kinds where they can lift flaps on the page to see a picture underneath. She will occasionally give 'kisses' which is usually either a head but or completely coming at you with an open mouth and wiping it all over your face. Either way....I'll take them!
