11 Months Old

I would not normally choose a picture where Hannah is so obviously upset, but after meeting Santa TWO different times, this is the best she could do :) Very sad, I know. But I have faith that in a year or two we might be able to get her to smile at Santa. . . . .
I can't believe that Hannah is already 11 months old!! That means that she'll be 1 in less than a month - I'm not ready!! She's already showing us a glimpse of what life will be like with a toddler. Hannah loves to be independent, and is curious about everything around her. She is enjoying eating the same food as Mommy and Daddy and gets upset if she sees us eating something different. Besides signing "more", "milk", and "please", she recognizes a lot of others and is beginning more consistently say "ma" and "da" for mom and dad - and today I've heard her say "kiki" several times when she's been after the cats! She's still holding on to things when she walks, although she has tried a few steps by herself. She's gotten so steady on her feet that I know it won't be long until she's running all over. I just can't get over how much she has changed and grown and learned in the past 11 months!
