I'm either "all in" or "all out" with most things in life and this blog is no exception! This past month I've definitely been "all out," because we've been busy packing up the house, ordering a POD and U-Haul, canceling all our utilities, and then busy canceling the POD and U-Haul and re-ordering all our utilities. So now we live in a very packed up house just waiting for the moment that our realtor will call and say "The bank accepted your offer!" and we can move into our little short sale house. The whole house selling/buying saga is certainly another post for another day. I suppose I'll wait until we have a happy ending to give the whole report!
But on to Annie... she's 11 months now! She is continuing to develop quite the little personality and we get glimpses of this personality every day at every meal time. Feeding her 3 meals a day might possibly be the end of both Matt and I, but we're making some progress. Here's what else Annie has been up to:
- I think she weighs in the upper 18 range. We went to the doctor a couple weeks ago when she was sick and she weighed 18 lbs. 11 oz. Everyone always makes comments about her being so tiny... I just think she's long and skinny with an itty bitty head!
- She started cruising around furniture just a couple days after she turned 10 months. She especially is fond of cruising around the glass coffee table. I've just surrendered to the fingerprints at this point in order to keep my sanity!
- She's always been a noise-maker, but just after she turned 10 months, we started hearing her more audibly babbling with consonant sounds for the first time and she's pretty good with the "ma-ma"s and "da-da"s now.
- She started clapping on 4/17 and she thinks it's hilarious. Around the third week in April she started handing things to us if we hold out our hands. So cute!
- Around the end of the month she fed herself an entire meal - YAY! It has been quite the struggle to find things that she'll eat in solid form, but she's now a big fan of sweet potatoes, butternut squash, blueberries, bananas, pears and grapes. So we're making progress there. She's a little vacuum cleaner when you find something she likes, but she's not afraid to let you know when she's not a fan of something.
We love this little girl more and more every day!
I couldn't resist this picture. This is the face you get when you take away the joy of pulling things out of my purse.
11 months old with Raggedy Annie.

She is SO stinking cute! It is hard to believe time is going so fast! Hope things work out well with your move. Now is probably not the time but my sister is pregnant and I told her you were the best with painting! AS if you have all the time in the world! Take care and before you know it you will be sitting at her birthday party!
Annie is absolutely the most adorable little girl ever! Her smile just radiates happiness. Y'all are such great parents.....and I'm so proud of your little family!
