11 months

She hasn't officially started crawling or walking yet, but she is on the verge of doing both. It's really hard to tell which will come first.

I sat her in this chair and she immediately stood up and turned around. She is always looking for something to pull up on so she can stand.

She loves to throw toys on the ground just so she can pick them up. She also gets excited about patty cake, when daddy comes home, or going outside. She's happy just sitting outside playing in the grass or rocks.

Most of the pictures I took were from this angle.

As usual Ari must get in on the picture taking. He tells Evangeline that he loves her all the time and has been asking to hold her more frequently. He is very cautious about things that might not be safe for her age and he likes to introduce her to random people out in public.

She still prefers to be with mommy and daddy all the time, but is making some improvement in the nursery at church. (I think we've successfully sat through one service without being paged!) It's really rough having to miss nap time these days so I don't venture out  much the rest of the week.

Have I mentioned before that she loves pancakes? This girl will down a whole pancake in no time. I wouldn't consider her a picky eater (yet) as she seems pretty open to eating anything. She will try anything if it's put on her tray, but if I am feeding her it is only a matter of minutes before she refuses to eat anymore. She is little Miss Independent when it comes to food.
