11 months!

OMG! One more month and we have a ONE year old! Time to really get crackin' on party planning. Laila has totally changed. She is talking more and more everyday. She has her own language that just makes me laugh. If you ask her for a kiss she leans in and lets you kiss her forward and goes "mmmmmmmmmuah". She also babbles something like "beabby abby abby". Sounds like "Be Happy!" It's so stinking cute! She loves music and rocks back and forth when she hears the radio on. She puts her arms up sways from side to side and sings along with the music. She doesn't like when we tell her no. She looks at us and pouts those lips and then starts crying. Sometimes it's so cute we can't help but laugh. She still has yet to walk but is building up courage to stand on her own. She loves playing with daddy's cell phone, mommy's keys and the remote control. Pretty much anything that isn't hers. All four top teeth are coming through at once. Can't wait until that drooling stops. She still has a great appetite and is growing like a healthy bean. We will see how much more she has grown at her 12 month check up. Next month we change her to whole milk and will hopefully wean her way off the bottle and binky. We have been gradually starting now and we know we will have no problems with her going to whole milk. It's on to the real stuff now. Oh! and we turned her carseat forward facing this weekend. Poor girls long legs were so scrunched up. And, we took Laila to get some new shoes at Little Feet. I always have a hard time getting shoes on her. Well I finally realized the problem. I was putting shoes on her that were a size too small. She always scrunches her toes and has a high instep...well now Laila is a size 5-5 1/2! wow!

We have been trying to find a church we like, and we finally found one we are happy with. Today, we put Laila in the church daycare for the first time so Jason and I can enjoy service. This was the first time leaving her with someone I didn't even know. I cried...but I knew she would have more fun playing with other kids then sitting with us. After the service we went to go get her. She had so much fun! Made me one happy mommy. Each day is something new....gotta love it!
