New tricks
Leila has been trying and not liking many new foods. Well, I can't really tell if she likes the new foods because she is pushing EVERYTHING out of her mouth (already been chewed style).
My theory is that she just figured out she can do it, so she does. Or since her two bottom teeth are sticking up she runs her tongue across her teeth and accidentally pushes the food onto her chin. I've seen her do this without food in her mouth. Who knows... there is NO WAY she suddenly hates all foods!
This weekend Leila finally tried watermelon. I love watermelon (eating some as I write) but never buy it because it's too heavy to walk home with it. Driving to the grocery store = watermelon!
She was willing to try it. Go ahead, help yourself!
Check out the sweet pool set up we have for Leila over at Betsy's.
I think I will just chew on the rind.
It seems like she likes it. I just wish I knew why she thinks it is a good idea to spit it out!

Just like Mommy...
Leila sure loves her bed!
Lately when I go in and get her in the morning Leila does not want to actually get out of bed. She calls for me, but when I go get her she is perfectly content playing with the 800 pacifiers in her crib. She doesn't like it when I leave the room to fill up my coffee, but certainly doesn't want to come with me.
Today I crawled into her crib to hang out just for the fun of it. Pretty comfortable...I can see why she digs it!

11 months old
We really have such an amazing baby girl! At eleven months old Leila is curious, determined, independent, friendly, and happy. So far so good!
Leila is walking more than crawling now although she realizes crawling is much faster. Her little voice can make such big noises. She still squeals in delight when she sees Otis and her Aunt Val. (I am sure Val loves being equal to the cat!)
She eats 2-3 meals a day. We're working up to three meals and a snack by her birthday. Black beans, bananas, and cheese are her favorite. I have to wait to warm up the black beans or she will ignore every thing else on her tray.
It seems like we are always cleaning up after her! I laughed the other day when I thought, I will be cleaning up after her for the rest of my life. I know how you feel now Mom. Thanks!
It was difficult capturing Leila with Minnie again this month.
Happy eleven months Leila! It's been a fun ride seeing you grow into a toddler. I am still wrapping my head around the comment Val made to someone yesterday that I have a one year old! Guess I (almost) do!
