@ 11 months, these are VT-isms I do not want to forget:
(1) I love that I am her favorite person in the whole wide world right now. Whenever she sees me, her entire face lights up with her toothy grin. *
(although she is smiling for Daddy in this photo after he gave her a banana to eat, as you can see some of the evidence on her face.)
* Unless it's in the middle of the night. Or she is whining and crying incessantly. Then I'm not as pleased to be the most favorite person in the world.

(2) She gives head butts of love. If you ask her for a kiss, she butts her forehead with yours instead. Or sometimes gives you a wet, open-mouth kiss of excitement on your nose.
(3) Victoria protests verbally, more like a grunt of displeasure, when you take something away from her.
(4) She waves like a queen, with her arm outstretched towards her subject.
(5) She is always standing up, cooing & smiling while waiting for someone to get her from the crib in the morning.
(6) She enjoys taking her socks off when she is confined, whether in her crib, pack n’ play, or carseat.
(7) She enjoys dancing with her mama (sitting on my hip) in the living room to the Tropicales station, channeling her inner Latina diva to enjoy salsa, samba, merengue music.
Life is Good!
Life is Good!
