Eleven Months!

Chesley was 11 months old on Sunday. She is trying to walk, but not very successfully. She is FINALLY starting to show an interest in foods that don't come in a jar-although her pincher grasp doesn't always get the food in her mouth so she must open her palm and rub it all over her face until that pesky piece of broccoli goes in! She says 'Weeze!' all of the time and at every dog she sees. She says it while she's eating because she wants to see Weeza while she is eating, and probably try and feed her too-Weeza loves this about her by the way. She also says, "Hey," all of the time. But it's not just a quick Hey is a long drawn out southern flirty kind of Hey, she has several variations but they all add a syllable to the word, and she practices them 24-7. I'm trying to get a good video of this to post, hopefully I'll figure that out soon. She can walk behind her rolling lion thingy and stand up without pulling up on anything, though she does this very rarely. She's a mess and getting messier every day-but she's just such a cute mess I'll keep her!

This would be where she realized her Daddy was back there, and her Mama had visions of her flying backwards off of the couch as she flipped over and jumped up at the speed of light!

No, she is not climbing over the couch-yet. Percy was pulling her over since the jig was up and there would be no more pictures with the sign that night!
