11 Months

Once again, I am late.
Emma is 11 months and one week today.
Just 24 more days and I will have a ONE YEAR OLD!
Crazy!

Being a mom has been such a wonderful experience...and very trying.

I hope Emma is loving her life as much as I am loving her and the way she has changed mine.

~She has been really working on walking. She can take about 10 steps on her own before she plops down. I can tell she thinks its awesome.

~Still really not saying any words. She squeals and makes a ton of noise but nothing that I can make a word out of...except dadada...I don't really count that though. 

~She now gives high fives.

~She has 6 teeth.

~Still not even close to sleeping through the night.... but nap times are becoming much much better.

~Eating this month has been a little stressful. She will not open her mouth for a spoon if is she is not busy doing something else. Usually I will give her a paper towel to tear up and feed her quickly before the towel is all in pieces and on the floor.  I don't understand why she fights me on this. I'm thinking she might be over the mush baby food. 

~When we are at her My Gym classes I watch all the other little ones sit calmly and play with toys. Emma cant seem to do that. She has to be moving at all times. 

~She has graduated from eating sand to digging holes when we are at the beach.

This pretty much sums up what my home looks like 98% of the time. 

I still cant believe I kept her alive coming up on a whole year! :)
