11 Months Old!

Jessalyn turned 11 months old today! W-O-W.....How did that happen?! One more month and she will be one year old. I just can't believe it. I know everyone said times flies but you never really know how fast time flies until you experience it.
*Jessalyn has quite the personality these days. She'll tell you if she likes something or not. She started doing this really loud screech when she wants your attention or if she wants something.
*She can officially say four words. Momma, Dada, Puppy, and baby (bebe). And tonight we're pretty sure she can say Hi.
*She knows what Hi means because usually when she hears the word she does her little baby wave with her hand. She will wave at you sometimes if we tell her to say hi and she isn't being too shy.
*She is pulling herself up all over the place but hasn't attempted walking yet. (Thank goodness!)
* She loves handing people things like her toys. She loves doing this back and forth and if you don't take whatever it is she will be mad.
*She loves being read to. She'll bring me her little sesame street books and I'll read them about 4 times until she gets bored and moves on. I have the books memorized by now.
*She loves to eat everything she can hold in her hand. She prefers to eat when she can hold her spoon or she can put the food in her mouth herself. She is quite independent.
*She hates to be covered with blankets. I try to cover her and she automatically kicks them off.
*If you rest your hand or arm on her she doesn't like it and will push you off.
*She loves given wet open mouth kisses when we say "Kisses"
*She loves, loves, loves music. She will do a little booty shake when she hears a song she really likes.
*Penny and Jessalyn have a close friendship already. Penny is so gentle with her and loves licking her face and Jessalyn gets so happy when she sees her puppy and loves patting her back.
*She has four top teeth and two bottom teeth.
*She is a speedy crawler and prefers being on the floor crawling as fast as she can everywhere.
*She loves kids and gets so happy when they talk to her.
*Her all time favorite snack is still goldfish crackers and now she loves the little gerber cheeto puff things just as much.
*She cries when daddy leaves for school and gets soooo excited when he comes home she wont let him put her down.
*She is extremely attached to mommy but mommy doesn't mind because I think we both have the same amount of separation anxiety from each other.
*She is the most gorgeous, sweetest, most lovable baby ever and she has blessed our lives the 11 months she has been in them!
