Eleven Months

I can't believe Grace is already 11 months old, but she is.  One more month and I will have a toddler on my hands.  Grace just keeps growing and getting bigger.  She is SO tall these days!  

She is a very active baby and does not like to sit still at all.  This past month she has mastered crawling, started cruising and won't sit!  She is keeping her mama busy!  Trying to take her picture this month was pretty tricky ... she wasn't having it at all.  She is taking over her feeding and eating a lot more table food and a lot less baby food.  She has been working on her two top front teeth for the last three weeks ... it looks like they are about through which will make this momma very happy!

We had a lot of activity this month ... we got to start going to the water park and Grace loves water!  She just splashes and laughs and LOVES the wave pool!  We just got back from vacation with Eric's family to North Carolina where we spent a lot of time on the beach and she loved that too!  She got lots of attention from Grandparents and Aunts so it was a good time.

Here is Grace crawling to get her crazy laughing dog.

She is a fun kid ... we love having her!

Ten Months

Better late than never, right?

Our little Gracie had her ten month birthday about a week and a half ago.  She is getting so big and changing so much!  At her 9 month appointment, which was at about the 9.5 month mark she was 30" tall and weighed 23 lbs 2 oz.  I moved her into 12 month sized clothes at about 8.5 months and she has grown out of those and I am moving her into 18 month clothes this week.  I can't keep up with this little weed of mine.

She has developed all sorts of new skills.  She rolls all over the place and has started scooting backwards and pulling herself up on things.  She is wanting to feed herself more and more and tries to take the spoon from me at every chance she can.  She has finally mastered the sippy cup and loves it!

I am pretty sure she is working on some more teeth.

She loves to be outside.  Here she is with her daddy and a flower in her hair.  I really love how she scrunches up her nose when she smiles!

This one was from lunch today.  Just in case you were wondering what happens when you let a baby feed herself baked beans.  She is pretty proud of herself.

We love this little girl.  She really has the happiest disposition.  The loves people, and loves to smile at everyone.  She has a polite fake laugh which really cracks me up.  She is the biggest ham I know!
