Time for Another Update

Well, Miss A is almost 11 months....pause...I keep starring at number 11 for a while in disbelief. It is hard to explain but I'll try. I feel like she is part of our lives for years now but at the same time I feel like she is still so little. Everyday I look at her and I say "wow, just look at her, she is so big now" and then five minutes later i say "she is still so little". Now, I am not a psycho. I just can't make up my mind. Let's see what makes her a big, cute baby:
1. She started to finally pull herself up at about 10.5 months. Whenever she was next to the couch or her crib, she would pull herself up, then look at me and have that look that says "i am pretty proud of myself. See ma, I don't need your help anymore".
2. She has been walking along the couch and holding on to it for about 3 weeks now.
3. She is been eating more and more food from our plates. The kid is not big on eating but will definitely stick some food into her mouth when everyone is having diner. It doesn't matter if she is hungry or not, she'll keep you company at diner :)
4. She mastered the skill of drinking from her sippy cup. She is been drinking water from it for over a month now. So what did her mama do? She bought a few more cute sippy cups for her :)
5. She understand us and tries to communicate back. For now she just babbles but can also say yum, ma ma, mamamama. I don't think she knows the meaning of that word, but it still puts a smile on my face every time.
6. She started clapping a few days ago and has been practicing every hour :)
She claps and then she giggles. Again she is very proud of her new skills and wants to show it off.
7. When she is done drinking her milk, she'll take the cap and put it on the bottle. That is our clue now that she is done.
8. She tries to put on her socks and shoes by herself. She is not quite there yet, but I can see a progress everyday.
What still makes her my little baby:
1. She still doesn't have any teeth. Surprising, yes. Shocking, yes. She is been teething for a while now but so far we can't see any white sparkle in her mouth.
2. She still wakes up at night and cries. I think it is because of #1.
3. She likes to be carried when we are in the store. She is not a big fan of sitting in the cart. My back and hands are killing me when we go grocery/clothes shopping.
4. She still loves her pacifier. It definitely helps her to fall asleep and she is depending on it.

This is all I can think of now.

P.S. Note to self, keep blogging. I won't remember all the little details of her babyhood.
