Honestly, how can this little baby of mine already be eleven months? It completely blows my mind! It seems like just yesterday we brought her home from the hospital...and now I'm prepping for her first birthday! It's nuts I tell you, NUTS.
We love our little Miss Lilly to pieces! She is getting so big and can finally wear shoes without them falling off! Yay! She has three teeth (two on bottom & one just breaking through on the top) and is really starting to show her personality.
She loves to play on her little toy car and loves to play peek-a-boo. She also loves bath time but hates having her face washed. I love the way she lays her head on my shoulder whenever I hold her. She's a cuddler all right and I can't get enough of it. I also love the way she greets me with a big smile on her face each morning when I walk into her room singing the song I made up just for her.
She is getting into
EVERYTHING and I feel like I'm having to constantly tell her "no, no, no!" I think she's just starting to catch on to what "no" means. We've had to childproof our cupboards and we can't leave the dish washer door open or she will pull everything out onto the floor. She loves to pull all of my college books off the bookshelf...especially my anatomy book (for some reason she really likes that one).
She's crawling up the stairs like a champ, can get herself to a standing position without using her hands or hanging onto anything, can stand forever all by herself, and as of just yesterday is WALKING! Woot, woot! Okay, well maybe it's more like just a few steps, but boy oh boy are we proud of her. Check it out:
We love ya Lills!
