11 months old

Eileigh, you are ELEVEN months old today. It is so hard to believe that in just one short month you will be ONE! My how time flies when you are having fun.

Here is what you've been up to this past month:

-You LOVE to walk but you don't quite have your balance yet so we (Mama and Daddy) let you hold onto our fingers so you don't fall down. So whenever we are old grey and hunched over, just know that you contributed to the hunching over! haha!

-You can clap and you love music. You can actually clap on beat to music which is more than me(your Mama) can do.

-You are such a social little person! You wave at everyone and everything. However, when someone speaks to you, you do tend to shy away and lay your head on my shoulder. TOO SWEET! You even waved to the fireworks this past weekend at the onion festival! You definitely get that from your Daddy because he is a social butterfly just like you!

-You can say "Mama" "Dada" "Ball" "Hey"and I swear it sounded like you said "Good Job" the other day! You are a little chatterbox! You will fuss us (your parents) out sometimes but you're lucky that we don't know what you're saying! LOL!

-You call Stitch by making a clicking sound with your mouth just like your Daddy and patting your leg. It is too cute!

-You are starting to eat more solids but you still love the breast.

-You sleep pretty good and you prefer to be right beside/underneath me. I love you alot because I'm not a snuggle person but you are the best snuggle person EVER!!!

-You drink water from a sippy cup. You love your Daddy's sweet tea.

-You love puffs in any flavor.

-You ate your very first red velvet cupcake at Caden's 2nd Birthday Party.

-You still hate bows and you pull them out especially when you're bored.

-You like going to the ballfield to watch your cousins play!

-You like to feel things with your feet and you love to kick stuff. I hope you don't like soccer because that is the most boring sport in the world in my opinion but if you do, I'll learn to love it. ;-)

Eileigh,

You are the most precious gift that your Daddy and I have ever received. I know I say this a lot but it is so true, you were so worth the wait and I would do it all over again just for YOU. Your little personality keeps us smiling along with your laugh which is the best sound in the whole world. We are amazed at how fast you catch on to things and how inquisitive you are about how things work. It is just hard to put into words the impact you've made on our lives and how much joy you bring. I always always always want you to know how loved you are, how wanted you are, and how needed you are! I can't believe you are already 11 months old and yet it seems like you've been in our lives forever. You are my heart, my soul, my everything.

We love you!

Love,
Mama and Daddy
