Eleven months!

Sweet Caroline is 11 months old (plus a couple weeks now :))! I simply cannot believe my baby will be ONE soon. She is a blessing beyond measure, just like her brothers. We know how fortunate we are to have children at all, let alone happy, healthy ones. My heart goes out to those who long for a child or have had to watch their children suffer and even die. My family is my world, next to my Savior. Eric and I both consider our entire families to be enormous blessings. We love to spend time with just the five of us, but we also love to be with our parents, siblings, grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, in-laws, and out-laws! I hope my children will grow up with a strong sense of family- of where they came from-and will always realize the support system they have. We are so very blessed!

Here are some pics of our sweet girl around her 11 month milestone:

What's our girl up to at eleven months?

-She has 7 teeth (she got the last one the night she got grounded!).

-She will say, "Tweet, tweet!" for a bird or her green rubber ducky.

-She will make Indian noises by patting her mouth...Memaw taught her that trick!

-She is funny about the texture of some things...and does NOT like some representations of objects that don't look/feel like the real thing!

-No one makes her laugh like Caden...seriously!

-She still nurses in the morning, then goes back to sleep til time to go to MeMaw and PawPaw's.

-She gets a 7 ounce bottle and rice or oatmeal cereal for breakfast then takes an am nap.

-She sleeps well!:)

-She gets a veggie and another bottle at lunch, after which she naps again. Dinner is a meat and a fruit, followed by a bottle closer to bedtime.

-She is usually in bed around 7 and will sleep 12 hours most of the time.

-She is very mobile...crawling aroung and pulling up on the furniture, my pants leg, the bathtub, or whatever she can grab on to!

-She has not had separtaion anxiety yet...and I hope she doesn't. I hate leaving a crying baby!

-Her brothers and Daddy love her!

-Her Daddy can make her cry like no one else. It's really pitiful! She cries so hard, she starts snubbing and can't catch her breath. He's only done it a few times, and never on purpose. Something about her Daddy fussing at her just sends her over the edge! Maybe she's gonna be a Daddy's girl like her Mama! :)

-She is still a sweet, happy girl most of the time. We are so blessed!
