Eleven months old!

Eleven months old...holy cow!  It has been such a fun past couple of months since I last posted.  Char has not been doing a typical crawl.  Instead, she is doing an amazing army crawl.  She is fast and gets to where she needs to go.  She is definitely the fastest when she is going towards the sound machine cord, Derby's toys, and other things that she should not be playing with...haha.  Char has been eating most any foods that we eat, but her favorites are any fruit, toast, Mum-Mums, green beans, and sweet potatoes.  Char has really enjoyed being outside more and having picnics or playing on the blanket outside.  She is standing at different pieces of furniture alone and has been beginning to pull herself up. She has learned to do a high five so that is fun to do with Char. 

Her personality is still pretty calm, but she has been showing a bit more impatience when we have to change her diaper, put her in her carseat sometimes, or take her away from something that she really wants.  Overall, though, she is calm and content. 

We took out first trip to the Indianapolis Zoo a few weeks ago, and it was awesome!  It made me look forward to the many many times we will go in the future when she is walking around and so excited about the animals.  The first time we went she did not notice many of the animals, but she did spy the antelope and love them!  The second time we went she noticed many more animals, I think, because it was much less crowded and overcast. 

Enjoy the pictures and videos.  I can't believe that the next time I post something she will be a year old!  Where has the time gone?!?!
