Massive Catch Up Post! Mommy is a 'little' behind!

Ok, Mommy is going to try to update my blog since she hasn't been tying anything since MAY! Bad Mommy! We are really busy and this summer has been 'interesting'. Many ups and downs, but Megan and I keep Mommy and Daddy grounded and remind them of what is important.

I'm going to be one soon - can you believe I am almost 11 months old!!! I have a huge birthday party planned at Teusinks farm and my big sister is really excited about it. We are celebrating our birthdays together. I am looking forward to the cake the most, while Megan would can't wait for the presents and horses!

My most current doings include gabbing (yes, I am more chatty than my sister was!) and I like to say ut oh, peek a boo, bye bye, MAMA (favorite word), and a rambling of other things. I have a very cute eeks when I get excited and always do it when I see funny animals (even if it is just a picture on the cereal box!). I am still pretty demanding of my mommy and daddy. I love to be held and played with. Constant attention is my thing. :) While I mastered crawling early, I really don't have much interest in walking. I've started attempting my first steps but I still have a ways to go. I am eating really well and have had just about everything now! My favorites include French Vanilla Yogurt and Cheese - dairy does my body good! I really like balls and books. The small slide outside is also a new favorite of mine. Most of all, I LOVE water. Beach, pool, hose, bath, out of a cup, you name it - WATER is the best.

Now picture time - warning, mommy is catching up up since May so this will be PHOTO HEAVY!

Let's start back at the end of May:
