Happy 11 Months Lil' Lady!

Namera,

You are almost one! My baby cannot be almost one! You are growing too fast. I know I say that every month (really every day) but time is flying. You are now 18 lbs. and still rollie as ever:) You still have those adorable chunky cheeks too.

You are wearing 9 month clothes, on average. Your eyes are as brown as ever and I just love them. Your hair is growing and I love putting headbands and bows in your hair which you are still letting me do, unless you see it in the mirror and then you take it off.

You are now sleeping through the night. You go down between 7 and 7:30 at night and wake up a 6 am. There are two naps, one morning and one afternoon and you love them. You also still love to eat. You are such a good eater now. You are loving the bath too. You will actually try and climb in. 

You are on the move all the time! If the door is open we better not turn our back because out you go!

I'm not sure why but you just started to love rolling around playing now. Throughout the day you'll just throw yourself on the ground and laugh. 

You love peekaboo and putting things on your face and head. You also will "ask" for what you want by grabbing it and bringing it to us, like snacks. You are obsessed with puffs right now. 

This walker we are borrowing from a friend is a lifesaver! You walk all over the house with it but you haven't figured out how to turn around so you scream to let us know you need help. And boy do you know how to scream!

You can stand on your own but as soon as you realize you are you look to hold on to something. 

You, your brother and I are quite the three amigos;) Daddy wishes he didn't have to work so he could enjoy our adventures too. Like the train at the zoo 

Or going down the big tunnel slides. 

We went to the community pool again and had a lot of fun. We will definitely be doing a lot more of this next summer!

You are into absolutely everything. If it can be pulled out you will. You clear a shelf in seconds. 

We got a new stroller so you can sit next to your brother and you love it. Lucas is learning to appreciate that you are right there to grab him and his food or toys;)

You and your brother are really starting to play and love on each other. 

You love all attention from Lucas even if he is smushing you! You laugh and laugh so it's hard to get him to stop. 

You have no issues getting your hands and feet dirty. If there is something to play you are there. 

You are definitely one mama's girl!

We had to leave you for the first time for a wedding which was so hard but you did wonderfully!

We love you so much "Sissy!"

Happy 10 Months Lil' Lady!

This is super late because my pictures won't upload to our computer and I just realized I could use my phone. I took your picture on the day of but forgot to get any measurements. Sorry!

I do know you are out of 6 month clothes and just wearing 9 month and size 6-12 month clothes.

You are wearing size 1 or 2 shoes depending on brand. Not hard-soled really but since you are officially a crawler now and pulling up on everything you are wearing shoes.

Let's start with the beginning of the month. You celebrated your first 4th of July by going to a birthday party followed by our local parade down Main St. with some friends.

You weren't a fan of the loud cars but other than that you enjoyed it. 

A few days later we went on a family vacation to Portland with my side of the fam.

You started to like people, kind of, but made the best out of it because there were so many fun things to do!

The most exciting thing though was you became an official crawler. And you are crawling EVERYWHERE! You are fast! You love to get into everything and pull yourself up anywhere that you can.

Your dad took his last two weeks of paternity at the beginning of the month which was so awesome to have him around everyday and you guys really did a lot of bonding.

You still love your big brother but I also think you like to push his buttons.

You constantly want to touch him, be near him and play with whatever he is.

You love swimming and are now wearing fins. 

You love the park but since you are so mobile, have no issues with textures or eating bark I try to keep you in the swing. But you love it!

You have gotten so much better with food and eat just about everything. Still no teeth though so I cut up all your food into teeny tiny pieces. You also found a sippy cup you like but half of it spills on you so we're working on that. 

You had a great time at your godmother's second shower...as long as no one talked to you;)

You are one determined, feisty little girl who laughs only when you really feel it and who loves her family very much.

We love you and love watching the person you are turning into!
