11 months old...

today you are 11 months old. I really have lost track of the time and where it all has went. you continue to grow and learn every day, becoming such a happy and playful little girl (when you are tired or teething that is). the last time I took you to the doctors you weighed in at 26.10 pounds. you are currently in size 18-24 months clothes, sometimes a 2T. You are learning to master standing on your own, though you aren't confident enough in yourself to just let go. you will cruise all around the house with your little stroller walker or with someone Else's hand. You LOVE to be outdoors, as soon as the door is cracked there is a huge smile on your face. You also LOVE to eat patches dog food from the bowl. Everyday dad and I are fighting you to get some pieces out of your mouth. You are such an explorer these days, getting your hands into EVERYTHING. you refuse to nap during the day, the best I get out of you is a 30-45 minute nap and maybe a second 40 minute nap. You continue to sleep through the night 12-13 hours uninterrupted. your eyes are blue, your hair is blond. your attitude is bossy, you let it be known when you are not happy or when something is making you upset. You LOVE going to mommy & me classes at gymboree. your such a showoff,  you make sure everyone is watching you as you put on a show. Grandma Fran can make you giggle in a heartbeat just by the sound of her voice. I'm not sure what it is, but it makes her so happy to see you love and hug on her so much.

Mom has started the planning phase of your first birthday party. The theme will be sprinkles. I have asked the troops to help me with this project as i am not crafty at all. cant wait to celebrate your birthday with family and friends.
