11 Months Old

Alyssa turned 11 months old last week! I can't believe we will start planning her first birthday soon. She is doing so much now!! She is walking all over the place! She hardly ever crawls anymore. She can copy you when you say, "Nana, Dada and Mama." Nana taught her to make the Indian sound with her hand and mouth. Now she does it by herself. Nana also taught her how to "give 5". You can say, "Give me 5, Alyssa!" and hold out your hand. She will hit your hand every time with her hand. She grunts at Nickolas and when he grunts back at her, she will grunt at him again. She can say, "Uh Oh!" And she will do so at the right moment, when she drops a toy, for instance.She pushes Nickolas' cars around on her hands and knees while making the car sound. It is so cute!! She has 6 teeth! She does not like baby food these days. She will eat a little over half a jar and be done. But, when she sees that you have something, she wants it!! She wants whatever you are eating no matter what. She weighs 24lbs now. She had a spell a few weeks ago where she had a fever of 104 point something. It just lasted a day and she was back to normal. No explanation really. Mom said Tiffany use to do the same thing. She is getting so big now!! She gets shy when a stranger talks to her and lays her head on your shoulder. It is super sweet. The most recent thing that we have discovered is that she is afraid of Nana's room. Seriously, I took her in there the other day so she could see herself in the mirror, and she layed her head down on my shoulder and didn't move. She really doesn't like sitting on her bed. It is so strange. But, maybe it isn't so strange..... Nickolas did throw one of Nana's pillow at her and knocked her down. Since then, she wants nothing to do with Nana's room! I guess you can't blame her. I can't wait until her first birthday next month!! Just wait until you see her birthday dress. It is so stinkin cute.
