Audrey,

Today you are 11 months and it’s so bittersweet it’s your last month before turning 1!  You measured 30 inches long and  weigh 21 lbs 9 oz.  You are such a happy baby and almost always have a smile on your face which is infectious.  You love your brother (buh-buh as you call him) and you guys love wrestling each other.  You love to dance and often even do it when there’s no music.  You’re also growing so much; you now can point, you nod your head yes in response to a question, you are getting really good at standing (for a few seconds on your own) and you’re really fast at cruising.  You go for longer and longer distances each day walking holding our hands, too.  And you’ll try to climb just about anything.  You’re babbling up a storm now.  You sure have A LOT to say.  You say ‘hi’ and ‘buh-bye’ and LOVE to wave!  You say ‘tickle tickle tickle’ as well as ‘dig-um’ (but we haven’t figured out what that means yet).  You finally said “mama” and you’re working on saying ‘eye’ (as you like to poke moms while nursing), bear (as you point to the picture of one in your room) and ball.  Oh, and you travelled out of state on your first road trip to Nana’s house.  We love you and can’t wait to watch you continue to grow (just don’t do it too fast!).

Love, Mom and Dad
