Elise at Eleven months!

We did a Valentine's outfit for our month-by-month photo shoot this month :-) 
So hard to get a still shot...look at that hair coming in. Looking forward to pony/pigtails and putting bows in with clips one day!
For time's sake, here is what E has been up to at 11 months: 
She's a busy body, always on the go! She is all over the place crawling, her knees and tops of her feet (if without shoes/socks) are permanently red and dry it seems. She is also waving, and dancing these days...so outgoing and fun!  And she's a pointer, even though I tell her it is rude to point :-)
This gal is crazy when reading books, because she loves closing, patting and throwing them :-)

Her newest words this month are "hobo and bubba," and she is trying oh-so-hard to say "night night."  E grinds her teeth a lot, particularly when she has a new tooth coming in. This has helped me start the weaning process!

This gal cant get enough of bathtime! I happen to capture this before she tried climbing up over the side :-) But this and the above pic capture her classic nose scrunch, which she will copy and go back and forth with us forever. Love.it. 
When it comes to food, she eats EVERYTHING, even cabbage :-) But she loves crackers, applesauce, avocados and sweet potatoes the most. We started to introduce cow's milk in the later half of the month...at first, she didn't know what to think of the temperature (going cold turkey like we did with Blake). We sign the most when it comes to eating...milk, all done, and more. 
She is sleeping GREAT these days, despite a few nights of waking up from her ears hurting her. She seems to be dropping down to one nap a day, already. Selfishly, I am glad because it can overlap with the boys. For awhile there, she would wake up from her morning nap right as the boys were going down for theirs :-) She has been extra snuggly due to ear/teeth aches...
At 11 months, E loves closing doors and books, playing patty cake and clapping to music, standing with help, chunking stuff over her shoulder (especially in her highchair), pulling up on ledge at the bottom of the stairs, doing push ups in a tripod stance and planking. And she, like her brothers, LOVES being outside (thank goodness!)
Loves turning off lights and having us brush her hair and teeth! Hates having shirt/onesie and diaper changed! The struggle is REAL! And so is the battle of keeping shoes/socks on her...
Um, I thought girls were more calm..not in this house! Joining the brothers in one of their nightly wrestling matches!
A girl and her dog
So, so sweet! Blake LOVES to be a big helper with Sissy. And Jameston is so good at playing with her!
Outdoor loving with my gal! So thankful to be her Mommy
We love this sweet gal (and her toothy grin)! Looking forward to celebrating her first birthday next month!!
