11 Months Old

Mayson is 11 months old today!  Happy Birthday!  She is such a character and so fun to be around.  Her smile lights up everyone's day.  This weekend her new thing was to practice her favorite new word, "hi."  She has said "Ma Ma" and "Da Da." We have heard reports from day care that she said, "dog" the other day.  But "hi" has been the new consistent winner. Now, whenever I put her in the car seat, she looks at the mirror on the back of the seat and tells herself, "hi" every time.  She is also great at waving "bye bye," and doing high-fives.  Her scooting has become a crawl (except when she is in a hurry and she knows her scoot will get her there faster).  She is doing great at sitting up by herself and pulling herself up on things.  We get lots of comments from strangers about her beautiful big smile!  Here's some new "big girl" 11 month pics of her helping dad put up the safety gate, visiting the park, and looking at the trees in the arboretum.
