Little Anna Banana turned 11 months old yesterday. She is quite the little tornado these days, crawling all over the place and getting into everything. She really likes to help herself to cereal in the pantry, pull all the kitchen towels out of the drawer, throw every magazine off the coffee table, get into Eli's dog bowl, dump every toy and book out of her closet, pull Catherine's clothes down in her closet, and anything else she can think of. And she's so cute when she does it that at times it's hard to teach her not to. She has learned the word "no" and can actually shake her head "yes" and "no". One day I told her "No" when she kept throwing her food and cup down at dinner and she looked at me and shook her head yes. I had to turn away and laugh.
Okay, so she has her eyes closed in this picture, but it lets you see how incredibly long her eyelashes are. They're gorgeous and people comment on them all the time.
With her favorite green blanket and two fingers in her mouth. This pretty much sums up her day.
At 11 months, she weighs a little over 18lbs and is 29 inches long. She has gotten somewhat picky about what to eat. Her favorites are applesauce, cereal, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, chicken nuggets, and crackers. She can pull up on everything and crawl all over the place (hence the previous mentioned tornado). She loves Catherine and Will crazily and laughs at them all the time. Jay is teaching her to give high-fives and she likes to wave bye-bye. It's a lot of fun to see her little personality developing. She has been sick a lot this past month. She got a bad cold that developed into an ear infection. She's still on antibiotics but feels much better now. I can't believe it will be her birthday in just 4 short weeks. Happy 11 months Anna!
Today was silly sock day, so she wore one Christmas sock and one Easter sock. Even the smallest things, such as wearing different socks, can make the whole day seem different when you're 5.
I think this whole week's crazy days are for Dr. Seuss's birthday. But I don't know. I always forget to read the newsletter. Regardless, Catherine had fun dressing up.
