11 Months

I'm a bit late, but on the 15th my little darling got THAT

much closer to her first birthday.

She is such a little ham, but is DEFINITELY developing her drama queen antics.

1. She gets Oliver in trouble, A LOT. I'm now being really careful not to get mad at him, because it could just be her exaggerating with her screams!! For instance he gives her a hug and holds it too long and she starts screaming like she's going to die...yeah.

2. She also gets really angry if you don't share your food with her. Like bright red, and yelling.

3. She's still only walking about 70% of the time. I can tell she's more comfortable with crawling, but she is venturing out and walking pretty far distances now.

4. She's still a solid sleeper, as she has been her whole life. Down at 7 (like Ollie) and sleeps until I wake her up. What I really like is she won't make a peep if she wakes up early. She'll just lay in her crib and play with whatever's in there until someone gets her.

5. She really LOVES music. Anytime she hears it, she perks up and starts swaying!

6. She's cut 6 teeth!!

7. She makes sentences in baby talk. It's really cute to hear her try to 'conversate' with you.

8. Her hair is getting long in the back. ALMOST long enough for pig tails!!!

9. She's beginning to attach her self to her blankie. (Just like her brother.) Most of the time when I take her out of her crib she's holding on for dear life to her blankie.

10. She has no fear in competing with her brother. If she wants something, she'll get it. Oliver will probably take it right back as he is bigger and stronger...but she's still brave for going up against a 2 and a half year old boy!!!

11. She lets me manipulate her with ease! (Oliver NEVER would since he's stubborn). Bows in her hair, shoes on her feet, and so many outfits... She's my living doll!

Mommy, Daddy, and brother love you, Scarlett Magnolia!!!
