Our independent girl

Eleven months is BUSY! Our girl has decided that she is "big" and likes to try to do things all by herself. The other night I was feeding her greenbeans and potatoes and she decided she wanted to do it. So, after much concentration she got some potatoes on her spoon and it reached her mouth. After she saw she could do it, she dropped the spoon and went back to her fingers! We had the thermometer sitting out yesterday. She found it and tried to scan it across her forehead. It was so funny! We still like to hold her hand when she is walking outside b/c of the concrete. But, she wants no part of us "helping" her! I have no idea where she gets her independence from....ha! We were shopping the other day and saw balloons and went wild over them. Of course her daddy had to buy her a couple. She loved them! Have I mentioned yet what a little monkey she is? She will try to climb anything. The other day she climbed into her toy basket. The fun continues. We love this age!
