11 months

I am so late on J's monthly update. Although I took the pictures a couple of weeks ago, I have been procrastinating, and it wasn't until tonight that I figured out why. This is the last monthly update I will write before we celebrate the big one! It makes me sad to think our monthly photos will be coming to a close, so I think I will continue for a bit longer (at least in the photo department). I don't know if the novelty will wear off, but I can't help but smile every time I compile her pictures and watch how she changes each month.

Right now J is marching right along to all her milestones. Or I should say walking. She isn't walking solo yet, but feels confident enough to walk from couch to wall by reaching out her hands. She loves waving bye bye or really just waving in general. My heart just melts when I see her mimicking us by brushing her hair or holding the phone up to her ear. Juliet is quite the kisser too. She kisses babies and animals in most of her books, but real photographs of babies are her favorite. Digging through drawers and cabinets is her favorite activity of the moment. She is still very independent and social and is most fascinated by children.

Although it is more of a challenge to keep up with her now, it is also way more fun and interesting. There is nothing better than getting to peak on your baby turning the pages of a book or happily pushing her cart around. While these big girl moments make me smile, there is nothing I love more than to rock my sweet baby girl. "For as long as I am living, my baby you'll be."

Happy 11 months Sweet Pea!
