Some things you have been up to lately...
* You are wearing 9 month clothes and some 12 month clothes. You are in size 3 diapers. You are still very petite--long and lean!
* You eat 3 meals a day with little snacks every once and a while (usually a slice of orange or cherrios). You still get 4 bottles a day.
* You still have no teeth, however they are just waiting to pop out any day now.
* You can say Mama, Dada, and Baba (Bella maybe??), but not necessarily directed at us :)
* You have become VERY curious and think it's hilarious when your mom and dad tell you "No!". I wonder if this will just continue on throughout your life. You have moved into a crawl position all of sudden and go back and forth from this position to your swimming/army crawl position.
* However, you are much more interested in standing/walking and you keep trying to figure out new ways to get up. Check out this great downward dog (Yoga position)...
* For a few days you were pulling up to your knees and then suddenly a couple of days ago you figured out how to get to your feet. Now there is not stopping you. I found you standing in your playpen when I got out the shower.
*You love pulling up on the furniture in the living room because it's the perfect height. Now we just need to work on your falls coming out of standing.
* You continue to be a fairly good eater. You definitely prefer to feed yourself. This has forced me to be a little more creative to make healthy, age appropriate finger foods. Your favorites are my sister-in-laws Broccoli Bites, Grandma's sweet potato bites, and frozen bananas. I made her some pureed black beans with avocado the other day and she really enjoyed it...so much so she felt like rubbing it all over her face.
Aspen goes to the doctor tomorrow for a check-up. She has become much easier and more interactive and fun lately. I love being a mom to my little monkey.

I can't believe how big she is getting! And in regards to saying "no", it only gets worse. Cameron's favorite word is no. The next time I see her she might be walking! Oh my!
I love the downward dog photo. Too cute. Jessica and I can't wait to see ya'll tomorrow.
I love her adorable smile! Sounds like she is doing great!
