L. turns 11 months tomorrow. I've already ordered her birthday cake - farm animal theme since she loves the old mcdonald song. I'm enjoying making some new mommy friends and walking with them or hanging out in the park. L. can now climb steps in just a few seconds. She continues to cruise around but no walking yet. She is eating more finger foods these days. She says some syllables too. We're enjoying getting out in the cooler weather. We celebrated our 4th anniversary by going out to dinner and dancing.
