11 Months

Julia had a great 11th month- and so did we! Julia is crawling all over the place, pulling up on everything, climbing stairs, zooming around in her walker, patting Murphy as much as possible, starting to sleep through the night again (we had a rough few weeks (for us) with Julia waking multiple times a night), eating a variety of foods, drinking out of a soppy cup, and being a total sweetheart, as usual. 

This moth Julia is:

- still nursing 5x a day, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner 

- started back at daycare 

- not yet walking, but crawling all over the place and walking along furniture 

- babbling a lot

- drinking water from a sippy cup (took a bit to learn how to use it)

- wearing size 9 month and 12 month clothes

- size 6-12 month shoes (her tiny chubby feet look SO cute in sandals)

- putting her shapes through the correct holes in her toy, and

- brushing her hair with her comb and brush

We are so enjoying every minute we spend with our sweet baby! 

Julia,

As you can see, your monthly pictures are getting harder and harder to take. Luckily, we only have one more left. Speaking of which, I can hardly believe that you are going to be one year old in a few weeks. I mailed your birthday invitations out today, so I guess you will continue getting older whether I'm ready or not. When I look back at pictures of you from a few months ago, it seems like just yesterday. Time is going by way too quickly! 

Every day I am amazed by new things you have learned and can do- you are such a smarty! You've also turned in to a bit of a performer and comedian. When we laugh at something you do or give you a lot of praise for something, you want to do it again and again. 

You're still my best little buddy and I can't even remember what we did before you. You've made our lives so much richer!

Love you always,

Mommy
