Arista turned 11 months while we were in Utah, and I swear once she turned the big 1-1 she was up and walking...literally. She figured out her balance and can now take 8-10 steps in a row! She pulls herself up with everything, and takes off running. She seems to love to have something either in her mouth or hand while she is walking. Maybe it helps her balance?
Blowing kisses is another one of Arista's favorite things to do. It usually turns into an indian chant, but we know she's blowing her kisses our way. She loves to give real kisses too, which can turn into a love bite at times.
Arista loves being outside, and going on walks, and seeing all the dogs and squirrels. We have been outside a lot the past month with touring DC, Arista has enjoyed it as much as we have.
Here are some fun facts about miss Arista:
*From the day Arista was born she has hated her diaper changed, and putting clothes on. We still to this day have never been able to able to do these things without a few tears.
*Arista loves to pull bows out of her hair.

Yes, we are still nursing. You wouldn't believe some of the places we've had to do this. Hopefully we can figure out this weaning business soon. :D
