Wow, 11 months old! I got the chance to celebrate my birthday with my Grandma Laura in New Mexico and we had a good time. It was wonderful to meet and spend time with so many people in our family from New Mexico and Arizona. Then, a few days before I turned 11 months, I started to take my first few steps by myself. I no longer needed the comfort of the coffee table, I was on my way! I'm still getting control of the whole balance thing--it's hard when you lean a bit too much one way, cause you fall down! It's exciting to get to walk places and now that I can stand up I can reach more things. So, if you come visit, please put all your drinks and snacks in the middle of the table so I can't spill them. :)
I'm still uttering the same types of words: "Mama, Dah-ee, and Ax" for my family members. I am, however, getting good at gestures and whining loudly til I get what I want. That's just how I roll, for now. :)

That's me at the birthday party for Grandma Laura and myself.

See how I can stand? Right after this I walked away from the camera, too!

For a few minutes, I had some nice braids.

That's me having a snack after working in the yard. It was a hot day!
