Spring- please come so we can play outside??!!

Yeah I'm a little late on the whole "11 months" post seeing how my munchkin will be 1 YEAR old next weekend! CRAZY!! We are having so much fun with her spunky lil attitude!

Things she can do at 11 Months:
*motors around the furniture
~throws temper tantrums! haha
*opens EVERY cupboard she can
~she runs (crawls) really fast away from me
*loves her big people food! All of it- we haven't found anything she doesn't love
~she is obsessed with animals! She loves the horses at my mom and dad's- any dog- and she really wanted to pet the full-body mount of the giant grizzly in Ace
*she jabber jabber jabbers constantly! I swear she thinks she is telling the greatest stories!
~she is so independent- she loves to just play by herself- especially outside- she cries when we try to bring her back inside because her hands are cold and her nose is dripping (ew)!
*she loves balls- she plays her kind of soccer with her hands- she'll swat it away and chase after it
~she loves having AT LEAST 3 binkies in her crib- one for the mouth and one for each hand- just so she can swap them out every now and again- after she wakes up in the morning or after her nap she throws them all out!
*as of this week- she is officially on whole milk all the time- i had been mixing it with the breastmilk to get her used to it- but she took right to it!
~we have loved the time change because she will still go to be around 8 but she sleeps till somewhere between 8 and 9! She is still taking two naps (thank goodness)
----------------------
One of mine and Colby's favorite things to do before we go to bed is we go check on her and see what crazy position she has fallen asleep in- this one was last night!
She is the QUEEN of crazy hairdos!
Last week while I was at work, I called to check on my two favorite people and Colby told me it was an especially rough night- she was MAD! This is a pic he snapped that depicts her attitude! I think its HILARIOUS!!
Oh the bink- what would we do without it!
Oh my- I love this lil lady!

weekend warriors

Well- this last weekend- we took that loved-but-hated trip HOME! Loved because we love going and spending time with family and hated because it is 2 hours away- i know i know- two hours really isn't that big of a deal- but it kind of gets to be a big deal once you put and dog in the mix- and then to top it off- a kid! We load up the lil ole Cobalt clear to the brim- with everything but the kitchen sink and take the desolate highway to D-town!
Here are the kids watching Princess and The Frog on the way there.....
Grandma Cyn and baby Shayda....

Dylan and grandpa love to watch The Incredibles together! Two peas in a pod.....

These two play so good together....

the girls getting the food ready after the blessing.
{I can't believe I didn't snag a picture of the star of the weekend- Brooklyn}

Aunt Karlee and Brody!!


We had a great weekend and hate it when Sunday afternoon comes around and we have to head back to Cedar!
All tuckered out on our way home---they both crashed!

Random pic of Charlie---- she's a pretty tall puppy!

So- one day- we were starting to wonder because she had been asleep for over 2 1/2 hours- I sent Colby in to wake her up and this is how he found her......... no wonder she was sleeping so good!! haha

Mohawk!!!

......just a pretty picture of the St. George sunrise.

*Randomness~

We haven't been up to much lately! Just keeping busy with Colby's school and my work-
Millie is really starting to be quite mobile! She is getting up and around everything now! She'll push her little bike for a few steps but she still isn't very coordinated with the whole walking motions! But she loves pushing and pulling the barstools around!

I find her in the most random poses!



She loves her bathtime!!!

*Hey look- there is a pretty cute girl in there!*

*I think I'll give that cute girl a kiss!!!*
Little did I know that this little stinker is peeing in her towel!!! AAHHHH

So I had the camera all ready for her first try of a lime!! Lo and behold- this lil critter LOVED them!! Ha ha! No sour face at all:-( I was kinda hoping for one!! Colby even said that that lime was kinda a tart one!


Check out the hair after a long day of church!!

This is the lil dress I made her! I think it turned out A-okay!!! ha ha!!

*AHHHH- Let's just relax Charlie!*

CRAZY eyes!!!


*Hey Dad- I think I'll chill right here and watch some TV with ya!*

~*~ tEn MoNtHs ~*~

I seriously cannot believe that she is ten months old!! I am totally loving her! We have been so lucky to not have to deal with major sickness or problems- she has had a little bit of a runny nose and she has been cranky for a few days but other than that she is a happy healthy little angel!

10 Month Stats
Weight 18 1/2 lbs- 26th Percentile
Height 28 1/4 Inches- 55th Percentile
Things she can do at 10 months!
She is totally motoring around the house EVERYWHERE!! She can really cruise on those hands and knees!
She is pulling up to things*
She is little miss jAbBeR jaws~
She tries to escape everytime we change her butt!
Still no signs of any teeth in the forseeable future- I'm totally okay with that-
She has learned how to put her tongue in the way of the spoon to COMPLETELY refuse her food*
She LOVES icecream~ even Uncle Brad with his cowboy hat and mustache can win her over with a little icecream!
She is very very ticklish- especially on her collar bones!
Her and Charlie like to touch noses through the glass on the french doors while Charlie is outside.
She combs her fingers through my hair while I'm feeding her her bottle-
There is so much more that she does I just can't think of any more right now- but of course- they will come to me right when I hit post!
