Some quick updates as Carissa approaches 11 months.
- She says 'Hello' when the phone rings (very cute voice)
- Other words she will use sporadically (Dadda, Momma, Yeah)
- Sign language she uses a lot ("milk", "more")
- She also can do "ball'" - but ball, more, and clapping are very similar
- Other gestures - blowing kisses, giving kisses, waving goodbye (kind of), clapping, and vibrating her mouth with her finger while making noices
- She is very good at throwing balls, putting balls into small holes, and playing hoops (I think it is because we literally have over 250 balls in the house)
- She has taken several steps on her own - she moves around with ease with her hand held walker - we think she will be walking soon
- She no longer wants to eat "baby food" - she will spit it out - so we have started giving her more table foods (cooked veggies, pasta, meats, etc....)
