Terra...11 months

Another month down and one more to go to the big "1." Terra is officially cruising around tables, chairs, just about anything she can pull herself up to and walk around. In the past few days, she has been standing on her own for a good amount of time. She has been testing out standing and drinking from her sippy cup, she is doing pretty good on her legs. My bet is she will be walking by her birthday.

She is still a good eater, but one day she will like pasta and the next day just has a few bites and then is done with it. She loves playing the game of throwing the food on the ground, it's so fun...not!

Terra has started playing a little more independently and able to entertain herself for longer periods of time. She still prefers Trent's toys to her toys. She loves exploring in the sunroom and getting into whatever she shouldn't get into. Everything still goes into to her mouth and she chomps away. Board books are her favorite to chew on. Trent rarely ripped his books, Terra on the other hand loves ripping just about anything. Give her an old magazine and it's destroyed immediately and she has torn off a piece of paper with her mouth. So, she can only look at board books for now until she gets out of this phase or all the books will be ruined. We have nicknamed her Terra the Tornado. She keeps me on my toes that's for sure.
Terra is a talker...I wonder where she gets that from. Just the other day we were out to lunch and she was talking away. My friend turned to me and said she is loud. I said really, this is her normal volume...she has to be loud to compete with Trent.

 Terra loves carrying things around in her mouth...so funny.

 I love the jeggings...so cute!

In her brother's toys.

 Another thing in her mouth, this time is a flashing button.

There's a little bit of a smile.
