Alivia is now 11 months... less than a month away til her big 1st birthday! :) I really think Alivia is a smart baby, but maybe that is just the mom in me saying/thinking that. Never the less, she is starting to do a lot more new things and is really having fun with learning.
Alivia's Loves:
- Back to Nature Graham Sticks- if she is having a tough moment, I can always count on those little snacks to bring her back to a calming state.
- Walking by herself anywhere and everywhere, especially in stores now. (She wants to get into all the stuff)
- Being pushed on a little toy car for babies... Makes her happy, makes momma/dada happy!
- Talking, she just talks up a storm these days.
- Playing and getting into non-baby things... Do you think it is time to baby proof now? :)
Alivia's New Things:
- Alivia has a new tooth on the bottom, that makes 5, 2 on the top and 3 on the bottom.
- She shakes her head to say "yes" now when we ask her a question... So cute! I don't if she quite gets the concept as to what we are asking her but she does understand that we are asking her a question. Sometimes we will ask her silly questions, just to get a laugh!
- She quite frequently says "No" and she will usually say it as "No, No" because when I tell her or Layla "No" I will say "No, no Layla" or "No, no Alivia." Ha ha, I love that she picked up on the double No.
- She can sign "more" and "all done!" Sometimes she gets the two signs confused but for the most part she understands the two signs. I think we are going to introduce a few more signs to her as she seems to like them and can communicate quite well using signs.
- She can hum now. Sometimes she will walk around and do a short hum. Or, if I am humming and stop, she will hum to get me to do it again.
- Alivia is eating a lot more now and we plan to start her on goat's milk by the end of the month. She has tried rice milk and liked it quite well.
- She really tries to copy some of the words we say and does a pretty good job of it. (book, cat, dog, tiger, momma, dada)
- She has started to laugh more without us tickling her! Cute.
- Livie Loo started this funny thing where she smiles crooked and makes a silly noise with it. It is funny! I will have to try to capture it on film, because it cracks us up!
- Alivia does a great job with listening and is starting to follow little cues. (Come here, put that here/down, No, Do you want to eat, can you give that to me, so on and so forth)
We love how she is growing and advancing! She is such a darling little one, and we continue to thank God for her presence in our life! :)
love her piggy tails:)
