11 months

Leeana,


What an incredible last month we've had. I thought that it would slow down, but it seems that your 1st birthday is still quickly approaching, faster than I thought. Less than a month left, and then we get to celebrate the first birthday of my precious little girl! It's been a joy being your mommy and watching you grow and change in so many ways. You have no idea the joy that you bring to so many people when you smile or giggle for them, and simply by just being you. You truly are the most amazing little girl I've ever met and I'm so thankful to say that you're my daughter. I look forward to your first birthday, although it means that you're growing up so fast, but it'll be fun and full of joy and smiles as you grow into the amazing lady that God has created you to be. 

Let's recap the last month of your life and all the new things that you've done and experienced! What a great time it's been, but now it's time to share with others the excitement we've had...

New foods:: hotdog, egg salad, chili, tamales, tortillas, miso soup, and so much more!

-you pooped on the potty!! (It wasn't planned but during bath time I saw bubbles and put her on the potty and BAM it happened!!)
-beginning to stand alone for a few seconds when you get up and let go of the object all on your own... now just waiting for those first steps!
-I put a play phone to your ear an you said "hi"
-swang in a hammock
-learned to feed herself with a fork and spoon
-you're becoming more affectionate, and wanting to rest your head on daddy and my chests
-you crawled up 2 steps on the stairs to follow me going upstairs (don't worry daddy was with you)
-you got baptized on June 22, 2014 at Shady Grove PCA
-you're becoming more picky about food and need to stare at everything before I try to feed it to you 
-you click your tongue all the time an giggle when I do it too
-began brushing your teeth, and you love it!!!
-you've become very confident using your walker without any help, and love using it all the time
