More Playscape Fun!

 

 

 

 

Thank you, Aunt Jan!

Aunt Jan was so sweet to send Bella some money for going out to get ice cream, so Bella decided to treat us all to Baskin Robbins.

Bella was so excited to be "finally" going out for ice cream, she just had to dress up! This is her "nice" shirt and her pretty hat.

Bella scarfing down some sort of chocolate, fudge, overload.

Thanks, Aunt Jan! We had a lot of fun, and Bella even let Bubba pick out a scoop. :)

11 months old!

 

Today my sweet baby girl is 11 months old. Isn't she just adorable?!?

Accomplishments this month include:
1. two more teeth! That makes 10 total so far.
2. More words! Claire is now saying "Tia", "Bella", "Bubba", "Dadda", "Mamma", and "mine"(sounds like "my", but was first repeated after Bella took something from her and said "mine!", now she says it when she picks up things, or gets handed something)
3. She is cruising around the furniture and while holding onto people.
4. She has not taken any unassisted steps, but has let go of one support and leaned to get another support while cruising.
5. She is wearing 24month clothing, and is longer than Bubba was at this age, so I am thinking we will have another tall one.
6. Growling is now considered a way of saying "I love you". She does it when shes hugging and kissing on daddy and I. I think she got it from daddy pretending to "eat" her ribs when they play together.
7. She is eating so many things now. We haven't had a bit of baby food in over a month now!
8. I am so thankful she shows no signs of sugar intolerance, fruits and other naturally sweet foods do just fine in her system, whereas they go right through her siblings!
9. She is sleeping solid through 12 hours every night, and takes one LONG nap and one mini nap during the day.
10. Where my two others used to play by themselves in the play pen just fine, she will stand there and scream until we come get her out. Even for just two minutes so mommy can go potty, she can't stand it!
11. I love her so much, and am ever so grateful that God has blessed us with her.
