11 Months

Crazy Baby Bossy is 11 months! Her fiery red headed personality has started to show through this month (or maybe it's just Brighton's fiery personality rubbing off). Either way we've "enjoyed" lots of screaming, some tantrums and throwing ourselves to the floor. If I had to describe Boston in one word it would be intense.

Boston's monthly list:

• Yes, she is a red head. Someone new "discovers" that everyday.

• She is walking. Her first steps were on April 3rd and over the last 3 weeks she has gotten better and better. 

• Loves to be in the water. Too bad she is as white as they come, being in the sun is not her friend.

• Babbles and copies things we say.

• Loves to dance, and instead of the classic baby bounce, she thrashes back and forth. 

• Has screaming matches with her sister.

• Says mama and dada discriminately.

• Prefers to feed herself and loves: cheese, quesadillas, eggs, bagels, waffles, bananas, oranges and chicken. She hates: bread. 

• Loves to climb into things.

• Loves to be pushed in the umbrella stroller by Brighton.

• Loves to follow Brighton around, but actually seems more happy when Brighton is napping and she is playing by herself.

• Hates being put in her car seat. This girl is going to LOVE facing forward.

• Is super strong. If she wants to be put down she will push so hard against you. I've almost dropped her several times.

• Still a mama's girl. She cries almost every time I leave the room.

• Loves Popcorn Popping and will do some of the actions. Also likes Itsy Bitsy Spider, and Wheels on the Bus. 

• Had the time of her life at the Westminster Mall play area.

• Has 4 teeth and 1 more about to poke through.

• Takes two, 1 1/2 hour naps.

• Still wakes up around 4 or 5 a lot. About 1/2 of the week, we're up before 6. Kill me.

• Puts most everything in her mouth.

• Loves her bottle... and has had some regular milk and liked it. Our 1 year old switch should be seamless :)

• And again, is basically just the opposite of Brighton as a baby.

Although I describe her as intense, she is such a lovable, cuddly baby too. It seems like I had her yesterday (or maybe that's because I mailed her birth announcement when she was 7 months old).

Happy 11 Bossy!
