I know I say this every month, but I can not believe another month has gone by. My baby girl is 11 months old and I am mailing out the invites to my baby girls first birthday party tomorrow.
On one hand I am really sad that my baby is not going to be a baby for very much longer...in just a short amount of time, my sweet baby crawling across the floor giggling will be replaced with a whining toddler kicking and screaming on my floor. I will miss those late night cuddle sessions when she is small enough to fit snuggly in my arms, I will miss the times when just a little nini will give the whole house peace and quiet.
On the other hand, I look forward to watching Audrey continue to grow and learn new things. among the following:
Standing and Walking...I don't think she will be walking by her first birthday, maybe standing, but not walking. I know she CAN do it, because she has taken a few steps independently when she didn't know it, but she chooses not to. Thats quite alright with me, she can take her time, but I DO look forward to watching her toddle around the house with her sister.
Talking....right now, she can say, Mama! (her first word, BTW) and Dada but I look forward to little conversations with my baby girl!

playing...Audrey is already alot of fun to play with, but its been my experience that the older they get, justwhen you think it can't get any better, your kid starts to play a fun new game, activity, or "make believe" world and it just makes the whole parenting gig pay off.
speaking of game play, Audrey loves to play peekaboo. she takes a blanket, book, etc and covers (or thinks she covers) her face until someone says "wheres Audrey" and she willl drop her "cover" and crack up and then do it all over again. In the picture below, she is using a plastic bowl to play peekaboo...so adorable!
Sleeping through the night: I have heard this happens at somepoint...I know my time is coming.
Ending these Mr. Bear Photo shoots. I have to say, I know they are super cute to look back on, and on picture they look super easy...but these bear pictures are the biggest pain in the a**. Most of the time, you plop her in front of the bear, and she instantly rolls around to give the bear a kiss or something, or she will crawl away to get off the couch. Its very.very.very. difficult to get a good shot, and I have to admit, I am SO excited I only have one more to do...ever.
So happy 11th month my sweet baby Audrey! This time next month, I will be telling you about my ONE YEAR OLD AUDREY!
