11 Months!

To my beautiful girl on her eleventh month of life,
You have such a great and shining personality, we went shopping a bit today and you talked to at least fifty different people.  If they do not give you attention you start waving at them and saying "hi!" If they gave you attention first you just smiled and didn't say anything.  Your favorite face to make is your excited face, I expect to see that a lot on your birthday and at Christmas.  Over this past month you have have bonded so much with daddy.  You have always loved him but now you are turning into a daddy's girl.  It makes me very happy to see how well you two play together and how much daddy loves you and have much you love daddy.  The past couple of mornings you have woke up and called him Papa - then started calling me momma!  You talk and you even sing - Party in the USA is one of your favorites as is any Lil Wayne song.  It is so sweet and cute to watch you dance.
You still aren't walking on your own, but you will stand by yourself so I do not believe that it isn't going to be much longer.  When we were shopping with Aunt V for her wedding dress she was walking away from us and you wanted to go with her so you just stood up and for just a second I thought that you were going to walk after her.  You enjoyed dress shopping, I think because they were so shiny and pretty.  You just wanted to touch them and go in the dressing room with Aunt V.  You are going to be the most beautiful flower girl.  Your hair is coming in pretty good now, just needs to fill in at the front (it kinda looks like dad's hairline at the moment :).
You had such a fantastic first Halloween, we went to Manchester and you wore your monkey costume.  It was so much fun.  You really enjoyed helping hand out candy and watching all of the other trick or treaters!!We are always having fun these days, you giggle and laugh all the time.  It is still rare for you to cry :)  Everyone comments on how happy and social you are.  Social is not a trait that you received from mom or dad.  We aren't antisocial or anything but we aren't the social butterflies that you are.  We are getting more and more excited for your birthday party.  The invitations are here and we are getting them ready to mail out.  Daddy did a very good job no them, they are adorable :)
You are a very smart little cookie, you know how to get daddy's debit card out of his wallet and go straight for it every time.  You are so observant that you know debit cards get swiped and so you try to swipe daddys in a slot on dadda's computer.  It makes daddy and I laugh and laugh!  You keep us entertained and we wonder sometimes what we ever did with all of our time before you got here.  We must have just been so bored, I guess we wasted a lot of time doing nothing.  We are never ever bored now thats for sure.  You keep us going all the time, I don't even know what its going to be like when you walk.  You make our lives so wonderful and great.  We love you so much!
