Gabrielle turned 11 months old yesterday. We're really doing the count down to her 1st birthday now. I can't believe how fast time goes by. She's a pro at walking now too. She can be sitting in the middle of the living room floor and just pop straight up and start walking. She no longer needs to pull herself up on the furniture to get moving.

She also knows the signs for milk, eat, and more. She can blow kisses, wave hello and goodbye and play pat-a-cake. She can say uh-oh, clock and duck along with mama and dada. If we say hello, as if answering the telephone, she will go over to her phone and put the receiver to her ear. If we ask her for any of her toys, her books or babydolls she will go get them. She also loves to give kisses and hugs. If you tell her she's a good girl, she will clap her hands for herself. If we tell her no, she will shake her head no, but then, of course, she laughs and goes after whatever it is she shouldn't have. She will also point to my nose, mouth and hair when asked where each one is and points to her belly and her knee when asked. She's such a big girl now.
