11 Months, 2 Weeks

Another mini update about our little Mini.

Two weeks from her first birthday and here are a few highlight:

-She LOVES Beyonce. She starts dancing when she hears "Single Ladies" and can sing along to the "oh oh oh oh oh oh" part.

-Her first word might be "Ida", "huh?!?" or that part of "Single Ladies". Or "uh-oh". She is a chatterbox, but those are the only words she uses in the right context.

-Her mullet goes down to about mid-back, still no hair on the sides, but the back is growing in more.

-She loves to eat. French fries are her favorite, followed by guacamole, rice, cheese, and beans. Oh, and ice cream. She doesn't get a lot of it and doesn't get it often, but you should see the look on her face when she does.

-She's really good a crawling, she's a very fast crawler, but still doesn't show any signs of wanting to walk.

-In the past few weeks, she's learned to share, always offering part of her dinner to people, sometimes she's nice enough to start chewing on the food before offering.

-Our little mini is getting bigger. She's finally outgrown about 95% of her 3-6 month clothes and now wears mostly 6-12 and 12-18.

-She has eight teeth.

-She understands simple commands, like "give me..." and "kiss the baby". She also understands "no" but chooses to pretend that she doesn't understand.

-Her nickname is Ida the Destroyer or Godzilla. She is much more interested in tearing things apart than putting them together.

-She is a joy. A happy baby with a mischievous gleam in her eye.
