Eleven Months(!)

I am slightly in shock that Bria is eleven months old today (and positively in denial that she will be one year old in one month). Several times a day, Sam and I talk about what a sweet, cute, funny, wonderful little baby we have. She is constantly squealing, babbling, jabbering, and she does have one official first word: "hi." She waves as she says it in this very high, breathy voice. So cute. She says "mama" all day long, but I don't think she has quite connected that mama refers to me.
She stands up to everything and walks along holding on to everything. And just while we were in Arizona, she started walking around while holding our fingers. She will also stand on her own for about a minute, and she does it all the time (I used to have to prop her up).
Her favorite food is cheese. I basically can't shred it fast enough. When she sees the grater and the cheese come out, she will often start to cry and scream for it and I grate as fast as I can. Then she shoves fistfuls of it into her mouth, leans her head back, and smiles while she chews.
Bria has a few tricks. She recently started crawling with her head down, maybe to be more aerodynamic?
She waves "hi" and "bye," as I mentioned (hard to capture an action shot, but this is it; I promise):

She still scowls:

She listens to the iPod (she dances for a minute until she pulls out the headphones and sucks on them, then I take them away, and she cries. maybe I shouldn't do that anymore?):

She blows kisses:

And she shakes. I won't even try to explain it. But we all think it's hilarious.

Happy eleven months, Beebee!
