eleven.

{not the best pictures... but she won't sit still long enough to have a decent picture taken...}

at eleven months, serena:

loves dancing and "singing".
copies everything we do.
crawls and "cruises" all over the place.
has 4 teeth on top and 2 on bottom.
wears size 24 months.
has a george mcfly laugh.
is finally starting to feed herself {she rarely puts anything in her mouth, so doing it with food was a hard concept}.
she has almost mastered the sippy cup.
waves "hi" and "bye bye".
understands "no" but doesn't necessarily obey.
shakes her head "no" and nods "yes".
STILL throws fits EVERY TIME she has to get dressed/undressed/diaper changed. {you would think she would realize by now that it's just a part of life...}
loves to push buttons.
holds everything to her ear and pretends it's a phone.
crawls up the stairs {finally had to put the gate up}.
loves the imagination movers, mickey mouse, and charlie & lola.
sits facing front in the car. {best thing ever!}
likes to eat applesauce, bananas, oatmeal, waffles, noodles, peas, asparagus, and whatever is on our plates.
brushes her hair if we give her a comb or brush {tries to, anyway!}.

i say this every month, but i really can't believe how quickly she is growing up! this month has been so fun with all of the new things she's learning. i love that she is understanding more and copying us. she is a little sweetheart and we're excited to celebrate her first birthday pretty soon!
