What's Up With the David's: Dylan is 11 Months....and 10 Days Old!

Can it be true that our little princess is 11 months old already?! Sadly, it's true. One more month and she's a year old! Oye Vey! But I must say that I have loved this month with Dylan. She has really blossomed and come out of her shell. She's always been friendly with her family, but now she seems to like everyone! I swear it happened overnight - all of a sudden she just decided that people were cool and interesting. She pretty much lets anyone hold her now and loves to play and flirt with strangers. We've even been able to leave her with sitters and not have to put her down before we leave. It's awesome! She's seriously a whole new baby and I love it.

Her personality is really starting to show now. She's so fun, active, playful and animated. She's also really loving and sweet but if you tell her no she will turn on you in 2.2 seconds. She's also very bossy and feisty! Sounds a lot like a certain mama! I guess if she doesn't look like me, at least she'll act like me. She also seems right on target with her milestones. I don't have a lot of time to blog today so I'll just list all of her accomplishments, likes and dislikes this month...

She can stand on her own for up to 8 seconds.
She took two steps about a week ago but hasn't done it since. I don't think she's in as much of a hurry to walk as I thought she would be.
She learned how to climb up the stairs and now that's all she wants to do. My days of leisurely chatting with the other moms at the park are officially over. I now have to chase this little one all over the place.
She's also into EVERYTHING! She loves to clear out our drawers and "help" us with the laundry by pulling everything out of the laundry basket. She's definitely a wild one.
She has 8 teeth! Four on top and four on bottom.
She's gained a pound since last month putting her at 22 pounds. But she's gotten really tall and is pretty much in 18 months clothes now.
She says 4 new words...roll (rrrrroooo), papa (pop-pop), Elmo (memo) and book (bu-bu). So she's up to 9 now.
Speaking of books....she LOVES books. Reading is probably her favorite thing to do right now. I love that!
She also loves jelly sandwiches, mandarin oranges, water, chicken, pirate booty, Mickey Mouse, the boys cars, music, dancing, being outside, being naked, wrestling on the bed.
She dislikes her bath, the word no, bananas, her car seat, having her diaper changed and getting dressed.

So there she is in a nutshell. Next month I know I have to write a thousand blogs about her birthday so stay tuned. In the meantime, here are her 11 months pictures...

This is another one of Dylan's new faces - she scrunches up her nose and opens her mouth really wide. She cracks me up! I wanted to add this picture so you can see her 8 bog ole teeth!

I don't get very many chances to put her in pretty dresses, but I love when I do! She looked so precious all ready for church...

Loving her hand-me-down music table! This girl loves music and loves to dance...

Caught in the act! Does this remind anyone of a certain middle child?!

Ya, I'm chubby, but I make it look good!

Someone learned how to crawl up the stairs last week and she's very proud of herself! The boys are obsessed with watching her so it...

Dylan's has always had a very expressive face and this is her latest look. She loves to play and tease us and then open her big ole mouth really wide. I love this series of pictures because she was just so happy and silly that day...
