12.11.11 - 11 months!

Yes, sirree! This girl just keeps growing and growing! Almost a whole year old already! This time last year we were greatly anticipating the arrival of this beautiful little bundle of joy. And that's exactly what she is: our beautiful little bundle of joy. She makes us so happy and is always keeping us smiling and laughing. We're so blessed to have her!

At 11 months:
-Aurora isn't quite walking on her own yet, but I'm sure we're not too far off.
-She's finally starting to get back on a better sleeping schedule--our fingers are crossed that she keeps it up!
-We've started giving her soy milk.
-She laughs at whatever we're laughing at, and sometimes will even laugh at something she thinks is funny on her own. It's hilarious!
-She is a DANCER! Dar & I joke that she's bewitched because she can't help but dance when she hears music/singing/or anything that even remotely sounds like music. Our favorite moves are her "Ray Charles" head sway, and her wiggly hips. So stinkin' cute!
-She hums to herself when she's falling asleep if I'm not humming or singing to her. Love it!
-She folds her arms when it's time to pray.
-She loves other babies and gets so happy when she sees any baby around her age.
-She loves water--loves to wash her hands after she eats (i.e. play in the water), and getting more and more crazy with her splashing and playing in the bath tub.
-She had her first ear infection & we found out she's allergic to amoxicillin. BIG bummer.
-She's finally starting to get better at wearing shoes!
-She is still wearing some 6-9 month clothes. We get comments from people all the time on how little she is. (The doctor weighed her last week when we were in for her ear infection and she weighed in at 17.05 lbs with her clothes on!)
-She still doesn't have much hair at all. Poor thing.
-She loves bananas, peas, and Cheerios.
-She's the cutest, sweetest little thing and we're still so happy to be her parents!

Trying to grab the water :)
She got a rash all over from the amoxicillin. Poor kid.
Cutie pie!
Giving her Momma some good smooches. Who needs mistletoe?
Happy 11 months, baby girl!
