Old friends, new neighbors!

We are super lucky to have had our avl bffs move literally around the corner! Taylor and Elliot have grown up together since the womb. The amount if adorable pics we have if these two is too many to count. Brooke (Taylor's mom) and I sit in awe as we watch our little babies turn into little ladies. They are so smart and almost self sufficient - at least while they are playing:). They are such good girls and such wonderful big sisters. They are also in the same pre-k class this year which is very fun for them because like their mothers, they can't seem to talk and hang out enough. Love.

11 months old!

This little sweet chubby child is now officially 11 months old. She is getting so big weighing in at 19.5 lbs having gained 1.5 lbs in just the last month. She is eating pretty much what we eat. She charms everyone she sees by flashing her toothy grin and blowing a kiss (without the hand) to anyone who will pay attention. Unfortunately she is ringing in her 11 month milestone with an ear infection- 2nd one in a few months poor thing. Her crib is still in our room and we are still getting up one to two times a night...Uhg. The plan is to move her crib into Logan's room and they will share until next summer when Kyla goes to college. As soon as she is used to Logan's room, we will begin sleep training. She isn't walking yet. She gets around now doing her bear crawl on her hands and feet. She has started to let go of whatever she is holding onto and make a turn to take a step but her feet aren't quite ready. But she's close:). She is still only clearly saying mama. I'm pretty sure she says hi in a very sweet breathy voice. Just today she really sounded like she was trying to say Kyla. No dada yet or bye bye though she does wave. She is holding steady with her top 4 and bottom 2 teeth that she's had since about 6 months. I'm just waiting for the others to begin appearing as soon as we start sleep training:). I am hoping to throw an elaborate fall festival 1st bday party since it will be our last 1 year old bday:(. Bobbing for apples, face and pumpkin painting etc...
I just love my sweet Sehra Delilah. If its possible, I'll love her even more when she is sleeping thru the night!
