Blakely-11 months

 

It is incredibly hard to get a good pic of her!  She is constantly moving. This is the best I could do

I cannot believe I am planning your 1st birthday party!  I'm finding it very difficult to make any kind of plans with our house for sale.  We have unexpected showings all the time and I wonder if we will even still be here for your party.  We dont have an offer yet, but Ive learned to expect the unexpected.  So for now I am planning a small party with family.  

You are so close to walking!  You cruise around all of the furniture.  Once you start walking I think you will be hard to stop!  You are into way more than your brother was at this age!  I think you are just trying to keep up with him now!

We had a big growth spurt lately.  You are now 16.8lbs and can finally wear a few 12 month things.  You are mostly wearing 9 month or 6-12 month.  Still in a size 3 diaper.  You LOVE all food!  I havent really found anything that you dont like except peas and green beans.  You are going to be our good eater :)  You prefer to feed yourself now too.  I think its time we start you on whole milk, you have already had some of bubbas and I'm so ready to be done with formula!  You eat 3 solid meals a day with a snack.  You usually have 3-4 bottles too. 
We got way off of your bedtime schedule last week at VBS but we are slowing getting back to normal.  You go to sleep around 7-7:30 and wake up around 7:30 am.  You only have one nap a day around 11-11:30 and sleep a couple of hours. 

You still love bathtime and the pool.

You have become REALLY attached to me.  Whenever I'm in the room you want me to hold you.  I love it, but I have to sneak out if I leave you at church or school or you will cry. :(

I found some of my baby pictures yesterday and you look just like I did!  Its crazy!

I'm trying to soak up every minute of you being a baby because its going by so incredibly fast!  I already miss the newborn Blake! Your smile lights up my life and I couldn't live without you sweet baby girl!

Love you bunches!
