ok, this is the best I have. My little 11 month old has been little Miss cranky pants every time I try to take her photos.
not sure it was much better than this or this.
pathetic little thing isn't she?
I swear she does have happier moments, just not when I need them!
So, 11months. only a couple short weeks before her big birthday bash. Oh this one will be fun, I have some great things coming. So, what has she been up to this month?
Walking has been the big thing. She took her first steps right before 11months. Now she is just practicing them. She'll now walk without being prompted, but is still not sure of herself.
Other tricks include kissing everything. Mostly characters/babies in bookes. But also all of us, baby dolls and just about anything that looks like it needs a kiss. She mostly does a wide mouth kiss, but will sometimes do cute little smacking sounds with it. She even attempted to blow a kiss today.
She is a climber. Climbs on anything she can. She is a waver. So cute to see her wave at cars as they drive by or really anyone she sees. She squeals at puppies especially.
She loves to eat. Most days she can't get enough. She loves strawberries this summer. We went to go pick some and she was covered, and so was I.
Unfortunately she has also been sick again. A trip to the ER, a first for us. Turns out it was just Roseola. Apparently pretty common in babies. high fever and yucky rash though. Also a couple more teeth are about to pop out soon to make a total of 8.
She didn't quite hit 18lbs yet, little thing.
well, lots of fun and smiling pictures up next month for sure!
Wow, my baby boy is 3!
A lot has changed in 3 years. He has grown into a strong, independent, smart boy.
He loves to run out side, almost skipping as he goes.
When he is outside, the lawn mower isn't usually out of his hands. He works so hard on the yard, it puts us all to shame. This past winter the lawn mower became his snow blower.
Inside his favorites are his tools. He'll fix anything. He also takes any cord and plugs it in all all the couches.
He loves to eat a variety of things, but loves fruit, pizza, peanut butter sanwiches, Arby's roast beef sandwiches and is very excited to eat cupcakes at his party.
He has become so verbal. He is able to express feelings now. "I'm sad, I'm scared of the Lion, Dinosaur, Easter bunny, I'm mad at you" He also comes up with the funniest things. In the car he asked me to go faster then said "Kick it!"
He loves firetrucks. They have ladders and hoses, two of his favorite things. Each day that it gets warmer he asks if it is time to get out the hose yet!
He loves his baby sister. Many times when she isn't in the room he'll say "I miss my sister" so sweet.
His laugh is infectious. He can giggle and giggle until you do as well. He is also little stinker and can also play us pretty well.
At night he loves to read stories. If it is a Curious George book or a "pig" book (Richard Scarry) he is good to go and will sit there all night and listen if you let him. He has most of them memorized and can practically read them all to us now.
Then right before bed he will sit and sing with us. Stuball, Wheels on the bus, 1,2 Firetruck, Twinkle Twinkle
He is such a joy to us each day. He makes us laugh, run and experience a world that only a 3 year old can show us!
