The Poole Family: Eleven!

Wow. One more month to go until the big O-N-E! Emily is now 11 months old! She even celebrated her monthly birthday this past Friday with a set of tubes for her ears! This is WAY overdue since we have now had 8 (?- I've lost count!) ear infections since turning 6 months old. Everything went extremely well and she got to pick out a toy for being such a good girl... a little stuffed animal dog, of course. Here's to hoping and praying these tubes WORK! Our eleven month stats are...

Eating whole Puffs! HUGE accomplishment for us!!!
Drinks water from a sippy cup... kind of... She is not a big fan of juice either
Taking steps! Won't be long now...
Feeds herself! And me, and her dad, and anyone else nearby
Has discovered how to feed the dog her food AND also where the dog eats his food...
Says (and understands what she is saying!) Ace, Dog, Mama, Dada, Ball, and Uh-Oh!
Loves to kiss, hug, and love on mama, dada, and any stuffed animal toy
Points her little finger at everything (gets this from Chad)
Still only 2 teeth...
Keeps her shoes on, finally!
Hair is curling around her neck, it is getting SO long!
Likes to open up the kitchen cabinets and pull ALL of mama's Tupperware out and then push it around the house. I keep finding Tupperware in random places...

I'm sure there is more to post about her but that's all I can think of for now. She is changing and learning so, SO fast now. Everyday brings something new and fun... And, of course, here are some pictures of my big sweet girl! There are quite a few of them... I just couldn't pick!
