11 months



How in the world are you 11 months old!  I'm not ready for you to be one yet!  We are loving this stage right now.  You are so busy exploring and talking and just taking it all in.  You had some big milestones this month.  You took your first steps!  Could not believe it.  You are loving your new found skill.  You are slow and steady with each little step.  It's so cute!  You are standing up all by yourself and just stepping away.  The only way I could get your picture this month is if I distracted you with books!  You just can't sit still!

You are mimicking more and more of what we say and sounds we make.  You said "bye-bye" to Grammy, and are saying "dada" more and more.  We love the cute sounds and noises you make.  You love carrying on long conversations with us.  We don't exactly know what you're saying yet, but you definitely have a lot to say!

You do this cute thing where we say "bounce, bounce bounce" and you bounce up and down on your bottom.  And when we say "shake, shake, shake" you shake your head back and forth as fast as you can.  I don't want to forget these cute things you do!!

Food is still slow moving.  We're doing more and more solids.  Green beans, avocados, plums (you LOVE plums), and puffs....you could eat puffs all day long if we let you.  You like to share things with people.  You usually take it right back, but you share for a second.  ;-)

You love opening and shutting whatever you can!  Definitely exploring everything!  In fact, you are no longer containable in your little baby gated area.  You have figured out how to open the gate.  So smart!   It's so fun seeing you learn and grow.  Everyday there is something new!  

CUTEST
BABY
EVER!
And we're busting out!


Freedom!
Visiting Daddy at work!
We love the computer!

Phillip and John

Travis and I got a rare night out on "the town" to see Philip Phillips and John Mayer.  We are HUGE Phillip Phillips fans, and were so excited!  It started out with just 2 couples, and ended up being about 10 people.  So fun!  Can't say John lived up to his last performance I saw, but LOVED Phillip!

Happy July 4th!

It was a great July 4th.  We celebrated in Houston with Travis's parents.  It was  Annabelle's first vacay poolside!  She loved it.  Such a water baby.  And I have to say, there's nothing cuter then a chunky baby in a bathing suit!  Here are some fun pics from the trip.
