smarty pants (at least we think so)

Caleigh will be 11 months tomorrow (I can't believe it - didn't I just do her 10 month update?) and this is SUCH a fun age.  It is so neat to watch her mind work and discover new things about the world everyday.  She just learned (maybe during the last week and a half) how to put things back in.  ("put in, Caleigh" - we've been saying that forever but she just started doing it!).  Watch...
Caleigh is also quite the budding reader.  Well, to clarify she actually doesn't read but she does spent lots of time sitting at her book pile and flipping through her picture books.  Here she is enjoying a classic...
In the past month (especially the past week) Caleigh has really taken to standing on her own.  She will often pull up to stand and then let go and play with whatever she is holding.  The most she can do is maybe 20 seconds... I still can't imagine her walking that soon though - she is just not a risk taker.  Caleigh is also very into handing us things ("thank you, Caleigh").  She is such a sweet little goose and we have absolutely LOVED these past 11 months - what a gift from God!
