RAEGAN: ELEVEN Months Old

RICHLAND, WASH. -- My little baby is turning into a little toddler right before my eyes. She's practically ditched crawling for her new confident method of getting around... Raegan is a WALKER. She walks everywhere and so proudly and confidently. She looks like a little drunken sailor, teetering and wobbling, and it's so cute. 

ELEVEN MONTH STATS: 

• None this month

EATING: Is the MESSIEST eater. I guess that's what I get for just putting food on her tray and letting her eat herself. Sometimes I wonder if she gets any in her mouth. She has this new thing for loving ice. If we give her a drink of water, she likes to reach into our glass and take out ice cubes. 

SLEEPING: Sleeps through the night. Two naps still, but some days just one when I can get her to last that long. 

WEARING: Twelve months. 

INTERESTING TIDBITS: 

Points to her mouth, eyes, nose and ears and says what they are. It's very cute. "Ahs" for eyes, "Is" for ears and "Muh" for mouth. 

She has started to copy a lot more the things her sisters do or say.... for instance, Britta was playing in the curtains with her today and popping out and saying, "BOO!" And Raegan instantly started saying "Boo!" too. Marin was singing some tune in the car today and Raegan started voicing the same melody. 

She likes to shake her head no when we offer her something and sometimes even says, "NUH!" 

Loves reading books. 

Such a mess. Every meal.
