11 Months


Olivia is 11 months old today!  I can't believe we are so close to one year!  This month has been an explosion of developments for our little one and we are loving all the things she is learning.  Here are a few of our favorites.

1.  Doing the sign for "more" and "all done"

2.  Brushing her own hair when I hand her the brush

3.  Patting my/her legs in music class to the rhythm of the song

4.  Figuring out how to suck through the straw on her sippy cup

She is also officially a "walker"!  She figured out how to stand up on her own last week (without using anything to pull up).  Its so cute - she sticks her little bottom in the air "downward dog" style and then stands up.  And ever since she mastered that, she is off and running - literally!

With the walking, one really cute thing she does is "go bye bye."  We aren't sure why/when/how she decides to do it, but every once in a while we will be in the middle of playing and she will just start waving and then walk/crawl over to the door.  This time we happened to get it on tape but she got side-tracked before she actually go to the door.  You will notice how she carries her bucket around like a purse - love it!


With all these developments, Matt and I have less anxiety over the news that Olivia is transitioning to the next class in day care next week.  We have absolutely LOVED the class she is in now - she adores her teachers and I can tell they really love her too.  But she's the oldest kid in the class and I think it will be good for her to be around some bigger kiddos.  We are very sad to leave the Nursery though and we are just praying that the transition won't be too tough - on any of us! :)

Before the pictures - we want to wish Mimi a very HAPPY birthday - as she says, she and Olivia are in the "20" club - (August 20 & September 20).  We had a great birthday lunch with Mimi last Friday and although I forgot to take any pictures - we love Mimi so much and hope she has a great birthday!

And now...the 11 month photo shoot:



Cuddling with daddy afterwards and then our nightly dance party.




Happy 11 months little girl - they've been amazing and we love you SO much!
