Savannah was officially 11 months old on May 27 - wow, that was fast! It seems like just yesterday that she was just a couple weeks old and it seems like I repeat something very similar to that every couple months.
Here lately she seems so much more like a little girl than a baby. She is becoming as independent as she can be right now, standing up on her own for longer periods of time and taking a couple steps between James and I sitting on the floor. We keep saying that we aren't encouraging walking (like we did crawling) because walking very quickly leads to running but that really isn't true since we seem to take every opportunity to help her learn.
She doesn't really like to be fed anymore, so we're done pureeing everything and we are now cutting everything into tiny pieces so she can feed herself. A lot of it ends up on the floor for the dogs but she manages to eat quite a bit. This week we began giving her whatever we're eating for dinner which has required a lot more planning on my part since one of us used to fix our dinner while the other fed her. Now I have all of our meals planned out and groceries purchased for the next 2 weeks and doing all but cooking the meal the day before.
When we have a meal that really isn't fit for her, such as the chicken we had the other night with chilli powder in the seasoning, we're giving her chicken nuggets and veggies. But last night we had a ravioli dish and she LOVED it, she loves the chicken nuggets too.
She's also becoming quite adept at the sippy cup but she does not like it to be on her tray, if we put it there she knocks it to the ground immediately. (This is the worst sippy cup ever, it started leaking after the first time it was dropped!)
She is also quite fond of dog food, she's gotten it in her mouth plenty of times and isn't eager to spit it out or for us to remove it so apparently it tastes pretty good.
And yes, I did watch my daughter put dog food in her mouth just so I could get a picture.
Here's video of another round of dog food fun about 4 minutes later, this would probably get to be pretty irritating if that little smile wasn't so darn cute.
