11.Months.Old
(Pictures coming soon)


Current Likes:  Walking- she is practically running!!!  She does not want to be held much at all- she is ON the move!  Which is exciting but kinda makes me sad :(  Musical toys, being outside, opening and closing doors/cabinets, pushing her shopping cart around, putting shapes in and out of baskets, food, baths, and taking walks.  She is constantly babbling as well!  She can say mamma and dadda and is starting to make different letter sounds.

Current Dislikes:  Being in a highchair/shopping cart for more than 20 minutes, things in her hair (and she now has figured out how to pull them out), getting out of the bath tub, struggling with naps lately, being in the car and shoes. 


Milestones:  She is, like I said, practically running.  She is getting so good at balancing.  She can stand up without holding onto anything and squat down and then stand back up.  She is starting to comprehend what come and no mean.  She knows to wave when we say hi and bye-bye!  She is so smart and amazing!  I love her dearly.  


Stats:  19-20 pounds 30 inches or so... Guess- we go to the doctor in 2 weeks so we will see :)


Payton, 


I can't believe you are 11 months.  You are such a joy to your dad and I.  Your laughter is contagious and I adore being able to stay at home and be with you all day.  You love to dance to any and all music and its adorable.  You are getting so good at walking and its so neat to watch you learn how the world around you works.  You are a smarty pants for sure :)  You are definitely becoming such a daddy's girl.  Every evening when your dad walks in you get so excited and you want snuggle and love on him all night!  It melts my heart.  I could watch you two all day!  You have been such a good baby for us.  You sleep wonderful at night (8pm-8am)!  You don't nap all that well but I wouldn't trade what you sleep at night for naps during the day!  I can't believe you will be a year next month.  Some days it feels like it was just yesterday that we were coming home from the hospital.  You are the best thing that has happened to this family and we are amazed how good God has been to our family.  We love you more than anything and are so thankful the Lord chose us to be your parents.  


Love, 
Mommy
