11 months old today? Are you kidding me?

SO, my baby girl will officially not be a "baby" anymore come 4 weeks from today. They say time flies, but this is crazy!! Well, her party is planned, invitations sent out, and party decorations officially arrived today. So, needless to say we are ready to celebrate Guiliana's very first birthday.
She has learned so many new things in the last month...
Daddy has taught her "up" and down". She knows where his nose, eyes, and ears are. Her vocabulary currently exists of, "Hi", "quack, quack", "clap, clap" she said "purple" one day last week, still "momma, dadda" Hi dadda, when Greg comes home. She tries to say Brooklyn but thats a bit tough for her.
She really enjoys American Idol - we watch it together every week (that is, till she falls asleep and then I watch the rest with daddy) Every night after dinner we all sit down and watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and she knows once she hears the "hot dog song" that its bath time. She has gotten super sweet knowing when to give hugs. When I get her up in the morning or when I pick her up from school, she will look at me, give me a hug, and then look at me again - its like she can't believe its really me!! Its funny. She also gives kisses BUT, I might have to have a little talk with her because she gives open mouth kisses!!
She is also very aware of what's going on around her. Two weekends ago when we were at my friend Jillian's baby shower, when every clapped, Guiliana would clap with us, and when everyone laughed, she would do the same! Can't get anything by her!!
Her teeth count is... The two bottom (those have been in since month 6) Her two top ones are halfway in. And I just found her lower left tooth and both top teeth on the sides of the ones in front coming in! So, we are looking at almost 7 (as three still are growing in)
She is still eating like such a big girl. My doctor told me during her 11 month to start introducing dairy products to get her use to the whole milk she will be starting. Can't believe she will only be on formula for 4 more weeks!!! I have to thank my job for supplying me with the formula. We have never had to purchase a single can, bottle, etc!! We are so fortunate for that!!!
About 2 weeks ago I took Guiliana to the doctor just to take a look at her ears as a percaution and she weighed in at 24 1/2 pounds so I am sure she is now at 25lbs!! What a big girl huh?? Still no crawling BUT, just recently she understands how to move her feet in the walking position when you hold her up and walk with her, so that's a start :)
Anyways, that's my monthly update! Can't believe my next one will be when she is a year!!! HOLY CRAP!!!
This picture was taken this morning. Grandma bought her that Spongebob shirt (we all know she LOVES her Spongebob) and when I showed it to her she laughed, grabbed it,and gave it a kiss!!
