11 months!!

Braelin Nicole! I know I say this EVERY month, but I can't believe that you are 11 months old. You have turned into quite the sassy little girl, and it is the cutest thing ever! It's hard to think that in just one month you will turn ONE. I can't let myself think about it or I just might shed a tear or two. You have learned so much this month and are getting so big!

---You are officially all done with baby food.

---You are very particular about how you like your food. We can't cut anything up into pieces or you get mad. Because obviously our food isn't like that, so yours can't be either. But we don't have to worry, because you just take bites and never choke. :)

---You weren't too fond of real pears at first. You ate one or two and then just started pulling them out of your mouth because you don't like the texture. 

---You are still in size 3 diapers, and probably will be for awhile.

---If you even hear the bath water running or see the bathroom door open, you go straight to the tub and then get mad if we don't put you in. So at least once a week you will have a blow out and right before I try and change you, you crawl straight to the bathroom. Its funny that you do it on purpose just so you can get some tubby time.

--- You turned into quite the mamas girl this last month when I had 2 weeks off of work and got to spend every second with you! And its my favorite that you whine as soon as I leave the room.

---You learned how to wave hi and bye and its the cutest thing ever.

--- You shake your hand, "No", when we sing No more monkeys jumping on the bed.

---You love to dance when music is on.

---You started to pull yourself up on to everything, but  only on  your knees. You were always too scared of going on your feet and would start whining, but just a few days ago you decided it isn't so scary. So now you can get EVERYTHING in sight.

---I have been putting your hair in a little ponytail and it is so cute!! But it makes me sad because it makes you look like you are two.

Sweet baby girl, we can't wait to spend this next month with you and see how much more you learn and grow before you are one! Now its time to shop for your party and get you some presents. :) the world is yours baby love.

Love momma.

10 months

--- You really crawl everywhere. It is really hard to keep track of you.

--- We moved this month to Pleasant Grove, and you love having our own place to explore.

---You love playing with electrical outlets, so started babyproofing :)

---You follow mommy everywhere! And I love it... even when Im in the tub and daddy is suppose to be watching you but you crawl into the bathroom to find me.

---I recently got a new job where I work the same amount of hours as I did my previous job but it is only 3 days instead of 4! I am loving all my extra "Braelin Time" and you love it too and have become attached to me.

---We are just finishing up all your baby food and then nothing but real food for you! We give you some real food with every meal and so far you are not picky at all.

---You are still in size 3 diapers and 9 month clothes.

---You still usually sleep anywhere from 12-14 hours a night plus a couple long naps in the day.

---You are so smart and we love watching you learn so many new things!

Braelin, You are getting such a fun little personality. You are very serious this month, or shy. Which we love. You do so many fun things and when we try and show people you just stare at us. We love you more than anything and love spending so much more time with you and helping you learn an grow everyday. You are our everything baby love. The world is yours.

LOVE momma.

9 months

Weight: 18.7 (55%) Height: 27 Inches (42%)

---You are such a good eater! You eat anything and are not picky at all.

--- You are in mostly 9 month clothes and some 6 month still. And once in awhile I put you in your 12 month pajamas cause they are warm and fuzzy and not thin like your 9 month ones.

---You now so mama, but only when you wake up from a nap and whine and say mama. And you say DAD now. That's all you do is say "Dad, dad?!" as soon as your daddy leaves the room.

--- You started crawling! Its just an army crawl and you have got it down so fast. There is no stopping you now.

---Since you started crawling you will get anything and everything in sight. We will have to baby proof our apartment when we move in the first week of december.

--- You love to watch RIO. You love anything with music, but when I put rio on,  you stop everything you are doing and just stare at the tv for the first 30 minutes. So anytime I need a little nap, or to get some laundry or cleaning done, then I put in Rio and you are in heaven.

---You had 2 shots this time. I got you the flu shot and your other hep B shot. You have always done awesome with shots, but this time we got home and you took a nap and when you woke up you had a bottle and threw the whole bottle up! and then you were exhausted so I put you down for another nap and you woke up after being down for 20 minutes (which isn't like you at all)

Braelin, you are such a happy baby! I love it! We are so lucky with you. You are always good, you eat anything, and you sleep amazing. Again, we are SO lucky. You have grown and learned so much this past month. The world is yours,

Love momma.
