11 Months

Ali-gator-

I.can.not.believe you are almost 1 year old. I want to freeze time just for a little while because you are in SUCH a fun stage. You learned a lot this month and do all kind's of cute things. ;) You LOVE giving kisses to everyone. You blow them with the back of your hand, just like your brother used to do. And you even give a select few kisses on the lips or cheeks! Your favorite is to give them to your brother. You two just give hugs and kisses all day long. It's so fun that you play together already! You love Luke 99% of the time unless he takes something from you. Sometimes it's him being protective but usually just being a pesky brother. I feel like you two will always be super close, and that makes me happy.

You learned how to say "hi" and it's the CUTEST thing ever. Your tiny voice forming an actual word about makes me melt to the floor every time I hear it. You yelled it over and over at Costco the other day and made a lot of people smile. So now you say, "dada" "mama" "baba" and "hi".

Your new favorite toy is your baby. You LOVE her. A lot of times you'll completely stop playing with someone and just look around for her, then give her kisses ("mmmmmmaaa") and go back to playing with other toy. It makes me so excited for girly things! I can't wait to play princess tea party with you. ;)

You are no longer my good little eater. You don't even like snacks which is so weird to me. Goldfish, cheerios, crackers..you usually eat a few and then throw the rest on the floor. I'm wondering if it's just because you're teething? You are FINALLY cutting a tooth as of this morning. You are super sad so I hope it makes it's debut soon.

You had a pretty serious virus this month, that was initially diagnosed as pneumonia. The X-ray machine you had to get in was the most disturbing/sad/horrible thing I've EVER seen. It was so traumatizing for both of us, and I hope we never have to do that again. You couldn't breath well and had a nasty double ear infection. It's the first one(s) you've had which is opposite of your brother. So I'm hoping you don't start having horrible ears like him. We'll see.

I put a pony-tail in your hair for the first time last week! It was tiny, but it was cute! I've done it a few times since and hopefully by playing with the hair you have now, you will get used to "hair time" for when it grows more. ;) I have a lot to learn in that department!

You are the princess of your family and I'm sure it will always stay that way! Our little diva. You dance at the sound of ANY beat and I hope you always love music. As soon as you hear any type of melody of rhythm you rock back and forth and bounce your head. You LOVE Yo Gabba Gabba and could watch episode after episode. It's the only show you actually watch and enjoy.

I think you could walk soon. I don't want it to happen. My little baby walking! But we'll see. I have exactly 26 days until you turn 1 and I plan on snuggling, kissing, hugging, and loving on you as much as possible until then. Of course I will always want to snuggle and kiss you, but you won't be my baby anymore very soon. (But..you'll always be my baby.) I love you little one! You bring so much happiness our life and I'm so grateful you are ours.

Love,

Mom
