11 Months

Madeline, you are 11 months. Today you are actually just a few days away from being a whole 1 years old. I took picture of you this month, but the xD card broke in pieces when I went to transfer them. You were holding an apple in them and didn't smile at all because you were busy eating. So, instead of those pictures, I am going to use the pictures we took while we picked apples today for my birthday. You aren't smiling in these (cross between eating yummy apples and being very tired).

 We have had a busy month. You went to the hospital a few times when Daddy was sick, but you got to see Grandma Crank and she got to see you take your first steps. You are still wobbly and only take a few steps before you fall on your bottom or your hands, but you like to keep trying. 

You are a fantastic eater, but kinda picky. Your favorites are still apples and bread, but you are enjoying cheese, pasta, peas, and sunbutter. 

 

You are talking a lot, even if we only understand a few of the words you say--hello, ya (yes), na (no), heer (here), tha u (thank you).

Some weeks you sleep great at night and some weeks I am awake with you for several hours at a time. I blame it on your two top teeth that are about to pop out at any time. 

 

But you are pretty cute, so we will keep getting up with you whenever you need us to. 

Love ya baby,

Mama and Daddy
