Ella turned 11 months on November 22nd!
What a fun age this is-I think I say this every month! Her little personality is definitely shining through. No new teeth this month so we are still at 4 on the top and 4 on the bottom. She is a social butterfly and waving to everyone and blows kisses when you say good night. 
She cracks up when you play peek-a-boo with her and shes a crazy one in the bathtub wanting to stand and drink the water from the faucet. It is quite a workout these days with both kids in the tub-almost want to bathe them individually for our sanity but they have so much fun together that it's worth the craziness. I love watching her play independently as she is totally into taking things out of something and then putting them back in.
She eats like a champ. And just so you know that I'm not exagerrating here is an example of her breakfast on November 6th: a baby yogurt, 1/2 banana, about 20 blueberries, 1 egg, handful of peas, almost 2 full cuties, a handful of watermelon and 1/4 of an avocado. She is getting picky now and definitely has preferences with her food. She will take certain food and put it in her cup holder on her tray and she has definitely entered the throwing food stage! The floor (and walls!) are an absolute mess at the end of mealtime for her.
Her new trick is to grab the spoon from us when feeding her and then she puts it in her mouth until we laugh.
She's so proud of herself!
She loves holding on to the monitor! For her afternoon nap she is normally awake before Joseph so I will show her Joseph on it and then she won't let go of it.
Love that open mouthed smile!!
And the hair! Crazy crazy hair! When it is wet it is halfway down her back. It always needs to be pulled back or it is all in her face but it never seems to bother her.
She is quite the climber and on top of or in everything. She is cruising on the couches and has stood for 2 seconds by herself a few times. The dishwasher is one of her favorite hangout spots this month and she loves taking the silverware out and throwing it on the floor. Such a good helper!!
One of our dresser drawers was broken last week and this was her favorite place to climb in and out of.
Joseph had to get in on the fun, too!
Her tongue is still out a lot and always curled up in weird ways!
You can't tell from the pictures but she has a bit of a temper (or what appears to be the beginning of one.) She will often fight getting her diaper changed and going into the carseat-with the full on stiffening of the body and throwing her head back. She's been fiesty from the beginning...
They have recently discovered playing in the corner between teh couches and behind the toy basket-it is like their own little secret playing spot and is so fun to watch them both back there.
Blue Dawg was a gift from Nani for Joseph and Ella loves him just as much as he did. She snuggles with him which he never did which is too cute.
Love her so much! Happy 11 month baby girl!
