11 Months

So many changes happen on a daily basis, it's hard to keep up with this girl. She amazes us. She brings us great joy. And she gives us a thousand reasons to thank God on a daily basis.

Anabelle is 11 months old. We can't believe it! (Actually she's one week away from one at this point!!!) Here is a short list of things she can do at this point:
  • Cruise along any furniture she can get her hands on
  • Walk with her walking toy
  • Walk holding on to just one of our fingers
  • Sign "More," "All Done," "Thank You," "Please"
  • Blow Kisses
  • Play Hide and Seek
  • Play "So Big"
  • Wave "Hello" and "Bye bye"
  • Say "Momma," "Dadda," "Papa," "Meh Meh" (for Mimi), "Bye Bye," and lots of other sounds that mostly sound like "tooka tooka tooka"
  • Imitate any words we say
  • Point at everything
  • Clear out a drawer in 2.5 seconds

I hardly have time to sit down and post these days as we close in on her birthday, birthday party, our house being finished and wanting to be outside more. But I know you want to see her, so I'll do my best to keep this up!

p.s. An addition to milestones is that she has maintained her 25 lbs for the last four + months. No gaining. She is getting taller, though, as a lot of her shirts need to be 2T to cover her torso. Yep, 2T! She's still mainly in 18 month pants. I'm guessing she's still off the charts for height, and probably weight, too. We'll find out soon. My baby turns ONE on Tuesday!

Im going to have to try my hardest not to cry :) Looks like Anabelle and Lola are on the same track minus talking and signing for Lola. And crazy that Anabelle wears 2T in shirts! Lola could use a growth spurt these days! Happy Birthday to Anabelle next week!! We hope you guys have a great birthday celebration :)

Oh my gosh! I cannot believe it's already been a year! That is crazy, and come to think of it, Zowie is not far behind her! It's also crazy that Anabelle is wearing 2T shirts. She must be so tall! Hope all is well!
