11 Months!

Zuri turned 11 months on our last day in Mexico.  Everyone in Mexico thought she was like 2 years old, until they saw that she didn't walk!  She is such a HIGH ENERGY child.  I'm pretty sure that is why she loved the beach and the non-stop entertainment.  Plus she was with her mom and dad every minute.  Which has made it hard for her to go back to her normal life.  Yesterday she didn't want to go to the gym because I was leaving her.  She was not a good daycare child yesterday.  Hopefully she gets back on track!

This month Zuri has become a speedy crawler and it still surprises me when I turn around and she is standing there holding on to the stove, baby gate, whatever she can get her hands on.  She definitely wants to figure out how to walk, but her confidence is not there.  She can stand for a good amount of time, if she doesn't realize that she is standing alone.

Her favorite thing to do when she gets fussy is crawl to me and pull herself up on my legs and cling to them crying.

She has also learned to give kisses.  She won't always do it, but she does know how.  She has given me a lot of big slobbery, tooth involved kisses.  Pedro says she gave him one last night, so that was his first kiss.  He had been really sad that she wouldn't give him kisses!

Zuri is starting to point at objects.  Sometimes she just points and jabbers away.  I don't know if she is pointing and "asking" or just learning the idea of pointing.

I have posted most of her most recent pictures, but here are a few more.
