Backtrack to 11 months!



You have 6 teeth now! You absolutely HATE when I try to look in your mouth. You even stick out your tongue so that I can’t see in.

You can clap your hands and LOVE to do so. I can prompt you by saying “Yay!!!” or by clapping myself. You happily join in and give me that adorable toothy grin!

We have cut another feeding and are down to TWO nursings a day!

You pull up on everything these days and LOVE to walk holding onto something. It scares me to death sometimes. With this new mobility, comes a lot more boo boo’s.

You wave bye bye when prompted now and can even say “bye bye”.

You drink as much whole milk as you want now.

You take 2-3 naps a day, depending on how long they are.

You love to hit balls (or anything that rolls) and chase them around the house.

You have discovered how fun it is to climb and have become quite adventurous. 

Daddy has taught you a new game! You cover your face with something and pull it down (only after we have searched for you saying, “where’s Madeline?”), then you give us the biggest grin! You have quite the appetite for this game!

You charm EVERYONE. I can’t go anywhere without you leaning over and smiling at the next person in line or looking over the pews at church members and waving. You capture everyone’s attention and hearts. People are drawn to you. I realize that this may come across as an overly proud Mama, but I don’t care, because I am. J




You have the sweetest little personality. I still can’t believe you are ours!
