She's pretty stoked to be out in January watching her brother swing and we are pretty stoked that she is 11 months old, happy, healthy and cute as ever.
She too is reflecting on what the last year has meant for us. All day I have been on the verge of tears. Mark Harris said it best in "Find your wings." "It's only for a moment you are mine to hold, the plans that heaven has for you will all too soon unfold...I'll have tears as you take off, but I'll cheer as you fly."
Seriously not the best day to flip this CD on in the early a.m. hours. I cry because I love her. I cry because she makes me so proud. I cry because she is mine and memory lane is at the forefront of every date on the calendar lately and I just love memory lane.
Her blue eyes are still shining.
She is sleeping from 7:15 to 7:15 consistently still.
She is eating 3 bottles a day at 6 ozs and loving every solid we put in front of her.
She has even snuck brubbers milk and loves it so we are envisioning an easy change-up come Feb.
She has started standing up on everything and is so excited that she can carefully sit down from the standing position. She claps her hands and smiles big like willing everyone to join in!
She loves to crawl around and her favorite spots are the toilet and the dog's water bowl. Lovely, eh?!
She has 4 teeth now, see above and picture her top 2 fangs also! They always say that your second baby grows up and learns everything so fast because of the example from your first and she has taught us that she is on her own pace, not rushing into anything and enjoying her own babyhood. We hear you girlfriend and we love you all the more for your patience!
She is absolutely breaktakingly beautiful and this picture just chokes me up all over again. She is post afternoon nap and just content. Her morning 1.5 hour nap and her afternoon (at the same time as Riley...BINGO) 1.5 hour+ nap help with her content-ness alot!
She loves to love her lovies just as much as her brubber does and stuffed animals get her everytime.
She is wearing 9 month old clothes and we have started pulling out the 12 month old garb also.
She is learning how to walk and rocking it behind her babywalker and it is amazing. She looks way too little to be putting one foot in front of the other. She gets us all up on our toes clapping and cheering for her. Riley loves her and is always hugging her and telling her so. He wants her to follow him so they can "play" and when she walks or crawls he cheers and squeals the loudest, just don't touch his fishing stuff sister! He is so proud.
Happy 11 months to our beautiful baby girl! 4 more weeks and we have a birthday to celebrate, insane, emotional and all very exciting!
