The Birthday Invitation

I can not believe she is almost 1 years old.....
I feel like she just got here. I still feel like Sophia just got here.
I am so excited for what is to come but so sad that time is going by too fast.
I love love love my girls and I wish I could just freeze time and keep them little for a bit longer.
Should be a fun party!

11 months and counting!

Not impressed at all to have her picture taken in the crib....
Big girl with her walker


Time NEEDS to slow down now! I am not ready for Elise to be one....
It is hard to believe that she has been here for just over 11 months already! She is changing soooooo quickly these last few months.
At 11 months she is standing all alone, took her first step a few days ago, can go from sitting on the floor to standing all on her own (no pulling up on furniture), plays peek-a-boo, pretends to hold the phone and talk, says "mama", "mum", "dada", "hi", "ba" (bath) and "yeah"! She is signing 'more' and 'all done'.
Elly continues to be a fantastic eater and is pretty much done with all pureed foods and baby cereal. She drinks from a sippy cup all on her own. I am still nursing her but she takes a bottle of milk just fine from her Daddy!
She is still very much a baby and still needs her Mama and needs her baby snuggles and kisses. I love that both of our girls are cuddlers :-) I am back to work casually in a few weeks and although I am REALLY going to miss my girls I am looking forward to getting back in to the swing of things!

At 11 months:
Weight: 17 lbs 10 oz
Height: 27 inhces

Fall Family Photos










Here are a few of our favorite family photos from last month. One of my friends is a very talented photographer and took our photos for us! She has such a good eye and plenty of patience!
Thank you.

Halloween 2011





This was Sophia's first Halloween where she actually went out to more than one house 'trick or treating'! She had a great time and was in disbelief that all of these strangers were giving her handfuls of candy for nothing! Too cute!
Elly as usual went along for the ride dressed as a cute kitty cat.
Lots of fun was had.
