1. The Dr. Seuss book "Hop on Pop." I have a plethora of books but always am soothed by that particular one. (And yes, I am 11 months old and using the word 'plethora.')
2. Standing up on EVERYTHING. Beds, tables, chairs, people... I just like being on my feet!
3. Chicken. When Mommy cooks chicken, I sometimes eat more than Mommy and Daddy do! So far it is definitely my favorite food.
4. Taking baths. I just got a new little bath bucket, and I love splashing (and standing, of course) in my bath every night.

6. Crawling...and eating things I shouldn't. Mommy and Daddy always seem impressed that I can find so many little things on the floor and start chewing on them before they can get to me. :)
7. Playing (banging on) the piano. Yes, it's true: I love playing piano. Mommy keeps telling me she can't wait to teach me in a couple of years.
8. Biting. With the addition of two new teeth this month (front tops), biting has become a new favorite activity. Mommy doesn't seem too thrilled when I bite her while nursing, so I'm trying to work on that. It just feels so good on my aching teeth!

9. Repeating words. I love repeating after Mommy and Daddy when they say, "Dada," "Mama," or "Ball." I also repeat them when they click their tongues or smack their lips.
10. My yellow shaker ball. I have a little plastic ball that I love shaking (it makes noise) and chasing all around the house. I think it's my favorite toy.
11. Waking up abruptly. Now that I am so good at standing, every time I wake up (either in the middle of the night or in the morning), I immediately sit and then stand up, even if my eyes are still closed. Mommy and Daddy think it's pretty funny.
