11 months

* I know this post is late, but once again we have been sick in our house for the past 2 weeks.*

I can not believe that my sweet baby girl is 11 months old. She is growing up right before our eyes and we are finding our selves daily asking each other " do you remember when....."
I know I say it every month, but this past month has definitely been the "funnest" so far. This kid is into everything...... =)

Stats:

Weight- 18.9 pounds

Height- 29"

Still taking 6 ounces of formula at a time. And here lately doesn't even want that.

Starting more table foods: You love... peas, carrots, mashed potatoes, noodles, green beans, goldfish, oatmeal, cheerios, spaghetti.

You are a great sleeper.... When your not sick! Still sleeping from 8pm-7:15

You started taking a couple of steps on 2 or 3 days before Halloween.. That only lasted about a week and now you are walking everywhere and even getting up on your own with NO assistance. Which takes us back to the "remember when??"
You have cut 2 top teeth.. HOWEVER they are not your front teeth. They are the 2 on either side of them.
You are starting to bring us things we ask you for.

You know where your eyes are. And will point to them.

This month however has hit hard with sickness in this household! You had a stomach virus which landed you in the ER with dehydration... Then 2 weeks later you started running fever 103.8 for 5 days to which ended up being Roseola.. And then just 5 days later (last week) you were sick again with RSV.. I hope that all the germs are going to stay away for awhile!

Macy,

I am saying it again this month... I can not believe that you are 11 months old. And that we are going to be celebrating your birthday in a couple of weeks. You are growing up before my eyes and there is nothing I can do about it. I can't wait to see what the next month holds for you and what you learn to do.

We Love You To The Moon & Back,
Mommy & Daddy

THATS ALL FOLKS! I'M OUTTA HERE!

Macy's 1st Halloween

I feel like I have waited forever to be able to dress my baby up for Halloween.

I started looking about 5 months ago for her costume and once I saw the princess poodle I knew that was what Macy was supposed to wear on her 1st Halloween.

It was so cute! And the long little ears with bows, fit my little lady perfectly!

My little pink poodle and her Minni Mouse pumpkin daddy carved

I think daddy has waited longer for this trick or treating pose longer than he will admit :)

I already can't wait till next year. I know I only have a couple of years to dress her up myself in cute little outfits like this... But I also can't wait to see what she chooses for herself the 1st year either.

Pumpkin Patch

This past Saturday my mom came to town to spend the weekend and Halloween with us. I have been wanting to take Macy to a pumpkin patch but honestly could not find one that I thought was worth the hassle to visit. A friend told me of a church out by her house that had a small little patch that didn't seem to be to crowded. So Saturday after Nana got here, we loaded up and headed to the patch! Of course Macy had no idea why she was sitting with a bunch of big orange things with mom, dad and Nana hollering and laughing trying to get her to pay attention and smile big and pretty for the camera. I think we ended up with some really cute pictures and we may have just started a little family tradition. ;)
