Happy 11mths Adriana!

It has been 334 days or 8016 hours or......11months since Adriana was born! We really could not ask for a better baby :) She's beautiful...gorgeous! she's so smart...way more than we expected and shes such a character already. Her personality fills my heart with warmth and laughter every day. I can't believe she has learned so much already!

In the past month she has been able to really fine tune those skills from last month. Words are clearer, she is really recognizing people (Gran, Grandad, Nana, etc.) and it seems she has passed the separation anxiety stage completely :) She also remembers characters from shows and commercials plus dogs! She knows what Tyson looks like in comparison to Miko (my mom's dog) and Tango (Aunt Jill's dog).

The one thing I am a bit amazed by is her appetite! She always ate well no doubt but the variety of food we have let her try - and she liked - is amazing! Prime example: Tonight my boyfriend grilled us some nice sirloins, while I steamed some broccoli and baked some Crescent rolls. I held off on giving her the jarred food until after we were done. I cut my steak in half and cut up her half into bite size pieces (she only has 3 teeth remember!) and broke apart some broccoli as well, about a cup full. She ate everything. On top of the steak and broccoli, she had a small jar of sweet potatoes and half a big jar of Banana graham pie!! This little porker just went to the doctors on Monday - weighed in at 22lbs and 77cm tall :) I hope these eating habits continue. So far so good.

She has been able to take 10 whole steps by herself. Although she's nervous, she is progressing at her own pace. She takes some steps and then takes a break for a few days. We really encourage her to do it on her own and praise her when she does! Its amazing that she's been doing this much already. I hope that by Christmas or her Birthday she will be able to walk around all on her own more!

Adriana, Mommy and Daddy love you so much!! We can't wait to celebrate you very FIRST birthday in another month. Even sooner, we can't wait to celebrate your very FIRST Christmas too!! We promise to work hard and give you everything you need and could ask for. At the same time, we plan to teach you the way and guide you as best we can in the right direction to live a full life!!
