11 months old!

My big brother, my best friend

Watching the birdies





Well, what do you think...


Going in for a kiss


Look at that!





Already likes phones!


LOVE my daddy


This is how our 11 month photos turned out


And one half-way decent one- only a little yelling!
We have again made it to 11 months and keep wondering how we've made it this far and fast. I've started planning her birthday party which is fun and exciting. I just can't believe it's almost been a year. So much has changed. We're getting a cousin to join us from Paul and Kateri. Uncle Dan is leaving us for Libya to find a new adventure. Adam and Cara will be in Cali for another few months so it'll be a small birthday party! We'll miss you guys :(
Mia will be walking any day, she is taking steps and stands up from the middle of the floor. She says "Dada, Moma", and probably other things that I just haven't caught yet. Tonight was the first night she finally fell asleep by herself after minimal crying so that was a breakthrough for me! Now if we could just get her to quit waking up during the night mommy would be a happy, well-rested woman!
Vince is big, talking a ton, and loves all the snow. We put a bird feeder in our tree in the back- hence the pics of the kids looking at the birdies! He loves playing with our neighbors who are turning into good friends which is nice for all of us. He likes to help US remember out manners and reminds me to cover my mouth when I cough by say "Cover Mommy! COVER!!" Which of course is exactly what I say to him...
We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and continue to count our blessings. We hope and pray that all is well with you all!
