11 Months Old

My, oh my, Josette is 11 months old!  It really just snuck up on me.  We are barrelling right to the big 1 year!  Wow!  Truly, the first year of life is amazing.  Josette is embrassing life as a toddler and exploring everything with gusto.  She is already trying to add speed to her walking, and I am afraid she will be running soon at this rate.  She has mastered drinking from a straw and a sippy cup and she does darn well just with a regular cup too.  She loves almost all food (except avocado, or all things), but she still loves nursing too.    She has learned to give kisses, but mostly reserves those for her Daddy.  She continues to work on all sorts of consonant sounds, and I swear I hear a lot of "Mama"!  She loves to play peekaboo and she likes to play a bit of chase, where she crawls away and you have to go after her.  She keeps looking back and giggling.  In fact, there are a lot of giggles from us all when playing with sweet Josette.
