11 months old

I'm partially in denial that my baby is almost a year old. Excuse me?! I feel like in the past couple of months she has started looking and acting so much older. At 11 months:
-She is taking steps! She took her first steps while we were in California on vacation (her first one was July 9th) since then she has been taking more and more. Her longest string to this point is probably about 11 steps. She is beginning to want to walk as her main form of movement. So exciting! 
-She is sleeping more than ever. I don't know why but i'm not complaining. She has been sleeping in til between 9-10 AM and then has about a 3 hour nap and then goes back to sleep around 9. Sometimes she sleeps in later, sometimes she naps longer. Like i said: not complaining.
-She is a pretty good eater. She eats pretty much the same things everyday (which is really my fault not hers) She loves hot dogs, yogurt, ice cream, strawberries, bananas, clementines, and oatmeal. Haven't had much luck with the veggies. She still has 3 bottles a day (breakfast, lunch, bedtime) but we ad switched to whole milk now. (yay! no more buying formula) She's doing pretty well with it. She drinks it just find but i think it's given her a few tummy problems getting used to it.
-She is starting to clap. She waves. She stands all the time. She says "da da da" all the time and other arrangements of sounds... still no real words.
-She still has 6 teeth (4 on top 2 on bottom)
-She is very stubborn and determined. If she likes something, she will let you know. If she does NOT like something, she will also let you know. If she wants something she will go to any length to get it.
-She loves to push things around. Anything from the stroller to her walker to the laundry basket. 
-She is VERY wiggly all the time. She will barely snuggle anymore, but sometimes i can get her too.
-She loves music. It calms her down in the car and whenever it's on tv she will actually stop and watch.
-She still has crazy hairs. And she is still very messy.
-She has a "stink face". My parents always joke (but in a serious way) that i was an expert pouter. I would pout to get my way all the time. Caitlin just does the stink face. If she is mad or unamused or unsure of something.. stink face. 
-I still love her like crazy.
