11 Months

I My eyes well up with tears when I write this post.... How have 11 months gone by? Where did my baby go? I thought you were supposed to stay small. You always hear everyone say "it goes by so fast! Enjoy it while you can". I don't think you truly understand that until you have experienced it. Here we are, 11 months later & couldn't be more proud of my sweet girl. 

She thinks life is hilarious! Always imitating our laughs & joining in on the giggles. Climbing onto high up things is the newest. Loves to be chased around the house while she crawls or holds onto her wagon. Still shakes the dog gate while making loud noises. Inhales food! We can cut up her food fast enough to feed her. No complaining there! (Coming from picky eaters) Very very outgoing! She can't wait to stare & get attention from somebody while out. Sleeping better now, most likely because she is exerting herself during the day. Always saying "Dada" sometimes "Mama" but Dad is her number one choice. Memorized a few words in a book & johns in when we read. Life just keeps getting better & better with you Avery Monica Mae!

10 Months

Okay, we officially have our hands full! From the beginning of our day to the end we are constantly chasing a baby around. Crawling like mad & pulling herself up on everything it's all eyes on the baby! Exhausting & so fun! 

The changes are rapid! Trying to jot one thing down in "One Line a Day" & it's almost impossible to remember what had happened that day? It is amazing to see the personality of a little person coming to life. You insist on feeding yourself (this is when you are quiet). Always love to try new foods, usually unsure of it the first try but by the second time you do enjoy it. Whatever you don't want you drop off the side of your highchair for Finn. 6 teeth in total. 4 on top, 2 on bottom. Poor you... It's disturbing your sleep like crazy! Or so we think it's teeth. Sleeping isn't your jam. Napping like a champ though. Hmm.... Clapping your hands & waving are your newest tricks. Love to people watch & wait for them to admire you so you can wave hello. Open mouth kisses are always being given to Mom & Dad. You wake up happy & excited, standing in your crib waiting to be picked up. Life is so much more full with you around.
