Shannon is 11 months

It is hard for us to believe Shannon is 11 months. Where has the year gone?

At this point, she is weighing in at a bit over 20 lbs, we think. She is a fast moving crawler, who is days away from walking, really. She is so funny. This past month she has learned to clap (seems late, but hey) and is always chasing after Allie.


She can stand for ever it seems, and has even taken a step here and there.

She loves to drive her car around, pushing from behind!!

And a couple weeks ago I found her doing this... uh oh.. time for the baby gate. She loves to climb the stairs!! But I dont much love this new hobby of hers, so I use the baby gate to prevent falls!!

All in all, she is doing really well. Still holding her own with only two teeth, but can eat most anything (as evidenced by the cheeks and rolls). She says mostly only three words clearly : Mama, dada and allie. Though I think doggy is not far behind. We love you Shannon!
