It's Marley's 11 Month-Day

Happy 11 Month-Day to the sweetest baby girl Mazurek! At 11 Months Old:

You walk

You run

You love to chase your puppies around the house

You love it when we chase you around the house

You always have a bow in your hair

You like to play peek-a-boo and will hold Taggie over your head until we say "where is Marley"

You love music

You love to play with your toys and talk on the phone
You climb up the stairs easily and are learning (slowly) how to come back down

You an easily get off the couch and the mats at Little Gym by rolling to your stomach and scooting backwards till your feet hit the ground

You still only have 2 teeth but we think 3 more are on the way

You try to eat dog food (but luckily we catch you in time)

You like to drink water from daddy's cup

You don't eat baby food at all anymore

You drink an 11 oz bottle in the morning and maybe one more 6 or 8 oz in the afternoon

You drink TONS of juice and especially like the Gerber Graduates Fruit Splashers

You love Cheerios, peanut butter and jelly, pasta with (gasp) tomato sauce, chicken tenders, all vegetables, grapes, bananas, mandarin oranges, Gerber Graduate granola bars, Gerber Graduate fruit sticks, Gerber Graduate meals and a variety of other food...

You like to spread Taggie on the floor and lay down to take a "rest" while you are playing

You take one morning nap and one afternoon nap

You wear 6-12 month clothes for the most part but can wear 12-18 months though they are a little big (especially in the waist)

Mommy estimates you weigh around 21.5 lbs and are at least 31 inches long

You wear a size 5 sneaker (although we bought them (at least) a size big so you would have time to grow into them) and you walk really well in them

You are learning to be "gentle" with mommy, daddy and the puppies

You like to open all the cabinet doors in the kitchen

You love to give hugs, kisses and high fives

Your favorite word is "YUCK"

You like to flick your tounge like a snake

You purposely drop food on the floor to feed your puppies

and you love family cuddle time before bed

There is more, much more, I'm sure, but most of all you are our girl and you are loved!
