11 months

I will say I started getting a little too sentimental and emotional this month in regards to you being 11 months old.
How can it be? How can this little 7lb nugget almost be turning 1 year old.
Getting 2 more teeth in, as we speak (on the top)
You do laps around the house, non stop crawling (speed crawling might I add)
You love chasing and playing with Ty. Yall seem to have your own little games sometimes.
You're still quite the eater.
Favorite foods remain the same:
waffles
all fruit
graham crackers
we are really working on our vegetables, you are doing so much better with them
Favorite activities:
walking while holding mommy or daddys hands
pulling up anywhere
feed food to Ty
standing at the back door and watching Ty outside
swinging
Love play dates and going for morning runs
Bottle time
Favorite books:
pat the bunny (will this be a life time favorite?)
that's not my princess
bible stories from the best little kids bible
New:
Crying when we say No!
you have started to sway and rock when we sing and play music-its presh
 when did you get bigger than the extra large bunny?

We love to swing in the back yard
You could stay in it all day

Bath time is still a favorite. Ever since you got out of your pink plastic bath, you love to look in the little mirror part of the bath. I catch you doing it, you look at me and giggle. Its the best. You use the bath like a pool and just go back and forth.
Little fishy.


 Super fun play dates with Bridget. Yall couldn't be cuter, seriously.

 Sweet weekend snuggles with daddy and donut runs.
Weekends are the best.

One last girl lunch with Aunt Katie before Claire arrived....

If mom and dad are eating it, you want it!
You love to have your tummy tickled and the belly laugh is the absolute BEST
(makes my heart burst into a million pieces)
You are getting more mobile by the day.
Still have 4 teeth, 2 uppers and 2 lowers
 Getting a little harder to get pictures of you sweet thing!

We had a 4th of July parade ( a weekend early) for our neighborhood that we went to down the street
Lots of fun!

 You discovered your belly button and also love to look at mommys
 One of your best friends. Im not quite sure he was prepared for you to be so mobile and interested in him. Ty has been very gentle with you. Hope it stays this way!
 We love visiting daddy at work and having lunch dates with him. We go up to see him in the office and also walk around Preston Center after lunch to only run into the BIGGEST bow we have ever seen
:)
Not sure you would ever grow into that one Madds


 We celebrated 4th of July with the parade this year. Its your first 4th of July and Im hoping next year we will get all the neighborhood kiddies and get to be in the parade. Im sure dad would love to pull a trailer of all the kiddos.
We made our own little USA flag shirts with our neighbors.
We love Henry and Addie!

Yes, you love them! Just like mom.

Hey, what is this thing!!

 Mom and dad went on a Dallas Staycation. We stayed at the Crescent and had the most wonderful long weekend. It kind of reminds me of Paris with the architecture and courtyard. Its just fun. We had fun with happy hours, nice dinners, a movie, sleeping in, and just running around town. We went to the Perot Museum which was interesting but Im sure will be more fun with Maddie can enjoy it and watch her excitement.
Deedee and E kept you while we played around Dallas for a few days.

Your first pair of shoes.
Pure Preciousness

Deedee and E

You love Pat the Bunny!
Every day, every night, every minute

Ruffle butt.
I just cant help myself.
Squeeze.


First Sprinkles
 I felt it was only appropriate since the royal baby was born
:)
You loved every little (or big) bite you had
We can go get Sprinkles anytime my sweets
little miss....

GNO.
A much needed fun night out with some of my favorite girl friends.
 
Until next month....

Better late than never!

You were lots of fun, maybe the start of my favorite time with sweet MCM

Words: mama, tyty, dada
 Time has flown by with you sweet one
Favorites:
your bunny-you absolutely adore your bunny
foods-waffles, strawberries

 We celebrated Max's 1 year birthday
You have lots of cute friends, one lucky girl you are!

We also celebrated Charlie's 1 year birthday the same day
We love our neighbor Charlie!

First of many trips to Wild About Harry's
 Kind of looks like you will be taking after mommy and enjoying your sweets!
I love your cuddles, even if its after a run and Im sweaty
Ill take them anytime I get them

 You started to stand up, pull up, and crawl all about this time
You loved pulling up and seeing Ty in your crib, it just made you giggle and smile
(two of my heart's favorite things to see and hear)

 We had our first swim lessons. You love the pool and the bath. You might also take after your mommy in swimming. Id love to see you swim on a team one day. We had lots of fun with Saturday morning swim lessons. You went under multiple times, like to float on your back, and would lean off the wall into my arms. Daddy and I usually take you for a run on Saturday morning and then we would go to swim lessons with a little Chick Fil A treat after. Saturdays are always so much fun. I so enjoy the time I get to spend with you during the week but when our family is complete with daddy home, its the best.
 Aunt Katie is having Claire. We threw an epic baby shower for little  Miss Claire. Its going to be so fun to have a cousin so close in age (about 1 year apart in age). You and Claire are going to play, swim, watch movies, have sleep overs, play dress up, and get into all sorts of mess I presume.
And I cant wait.

We love to have little play dates during the week. We went swimming with sweet Grace.

 During May we celebrated the best daddy ever. He has done an amazing job at helping raise such a sweet daughter. I have heard him talk about the bond between a daughter and a dad and let me tell you it was about the sweetest thing my ears have heard. Its special. Its sweet. Something I can't wait to watch grow over the years. We love you dad and thank you for all you do for us.
We celebrated by having the whole Morgan Clan over for a grill out. We had lots of deliciousness that evening.

Visiting aunt sades at work
You love to look at the fish in the aquarium

 So many fun birthday celebrations. We were able to wish sweet Oliver a happy 2nd birthday. We have the best neighbors a family could ask for and love having so many fun friends on our street.
Its just the cutest.

We love our little turtle swimming pool
 
Until next time..
