Month #12

Went and saw Disney on Ice for cousin Ingrid's 2nd birthday! Christina was so excited the whole time--bouncing everywhere, waving her arms, laughing and smiling! I was very surprised by that since this is the girl who only watches TV for 5 seconds. The show was a big hit! The best part was when it snowed on us, she just looked up holding her arms up. 

My little book worm. This is actually a magazine that she destroyed in about 5 minutes.

 This month she learned to open board books all by herself. That is one of her new 

favorite things to do now. Open the book look at the pages

 (whether it is upside down or right side up) and talk to the pages.

Christina loves the cats and Zimbob the dog that live here with us. 

Not so sure they love her though!

We got two Thanksgivings this year! One with the Pollocks at the Chef's Table, yumm! The other with my family, also good! Christina was flirting with the service staff at the Chef's Table. She would smile so big whenever someone would walk by. The picture on the left is Christina eating pumpkin pie, she loved it!

Month Summary (11 months old):

From about the time she could grab things Christina has always been interested in the comb. When every we comb her hair she wants to hold the comb and look at it. Now she has started to try comb her own hair! She usually holds it upside down but at least she understands its' purpose! She has been waving bye bye off and on but now she is starting to do so more often. She is now pretty good at getting down by herself from a standing position. She has also started cruising, walking while holding on to furniture. Soon she will be walking!!! Crazy! She jabbers a lot and is so busy crawling and climbing, she loves exploring! Tomorrow she will be one year old, can't believe how quickly time flies! I Love that little girl!
