Princess Peanut is 11 Months Old!!!!!!

I feel like this post is deja vu... I have thought about what I would write over and over again but never actually put it on the blog... and I have been wondering WHAT pictures to post...

I am blown away that in 1 short month I will be bloging that our Peanut is 1 year old! I cannot believe that!

The last month has gone slow and fast at the same time. I say slow because I have tried to enjoy all of our little moments with Peanut (and both kiddos actually) and all in all we have done a LOT during the last month, thus the feeling of it passing so quickly. But honestly LIFE seems to pass too quickly anymore...

We have been BACK to the doctor AGAIN for yet another ear infection... FINALLY on June 8th we will see Dr. Strasser... I am actually looking forward to this appointment. I want to do something about my poor Peanut's ears... not looking forward to the surgery (and the bill) but nonetheless I want to help her so we will go and see what he says. Bubba also has a follow-up appointment with him on the same day. I am sure I will post the outcome for that when it happens.

So as with EVERY month since this little Peanut was born she is our little ray of sunshine... always in a good mood! We couldn't be more blessed!

So at 11 months our precious Peanut can:

• She weight over 18 lbs
• She is in size 3 diapers... FINALLY
• She is starting to wear 12 month clothing (although it is quite large on her but 9 month is starting to get tight)
• She HATES putting on clothes; I think its going over her head she hates
• She is still teething and only has 7 teeth right now
• She has had a total of 5 ear infections... poor Peanut
• She has words: Mama, Dada, Daddy, Bubba, hit, yeah, bye and another that I cannot remember right now. She has said back, done, thank you, happy, AND our biggest one this month was brother... she did not say Bubba it was clearly B-R-O-T-H-E-R (but hasn't said it since)
• She LOVES food and REFUSES to eat baby food... I have ALMOST given up trying baby food. Unless we are eating the fruits (that is the only baby food I buy... fruits)
• She crawls EVERYWHERE and is FAST
• She has started to pull herself up on things (we need to work on this a little more)
• And because she started to pull herself up... her crib mattress was lowered
• Her hair is still getting blonder
• Her eyes are so blue! So beautiful
• She went to the zoo for the first time (to see that post CLICK HERE)
• She went to her first MLB game (to see that post CLICK HERE, not there)
• She celebrated for the first time (and there will be MANY more) Grandma's, Great Gramps', Auntie Brandi's and Mommy's birthday
• BEST part about my birthday yesterday... Bubba and Daddy came in singing (as does the entire side of that family whether the birthday girl (or boy) wants THEY SING! But they came into Peanut's room (where I was) singing... I love when my sweet Bubba sings to me... at the end of the song (by Daddy and Bubba) Peanut joined in singing "la la la la" and dancing! MADE MY DAY!
• She can stand by herself for a short time... we are working on this as well!
• We got pictures for the 2nd time (in her life) from RED Photography and she was so awesome at it!

So here you are the MUCH awaited pictures from the month:

Crawling so fast I almost didn't catch her

So cute!
