Oh, darling don't you ever grow up. 11 months old!

Okay, MILLIE WILLARD.  You are WAY too close to one year old.
Wasn't I just walking into the living room on a random Sunday night at 10 pm, mouth dragging the floor, eyes bugged out.. looking at your daddy like a deer in headlights as I said, "Ummm can you take me to Wal-Mart??".. then, as I further explained, he said "no way... oh, wait.. YOU'RE SERIOUS?!".... (THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT PREGNANCY TEST THAT WAS IN OUR WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT AT SMALL GROUP CHRISTMAS PARTY)..haha.. took five pregnancy tests that night!   Wasn't I just sitting in the ultrasound room with Dawn seeing you for the first time??  Wasn't I just sitting on an airplane for two hours trying to leave NYC puking in a paper bag? (that one was great fun)..  Wasn't I just watching and feeling your little feet and knees poking through my belly?  Wasn't I JUST soaking in the bath at midnight in denial that I was in labor???????
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE???

I guess that is enough sulking for now.  Let's move on to the happies.....

*What's new with you:
-love to put things on your wrist.. toilet paper rolls, stacking rings, my old bangles.. and after you put them on you wave your little hands like miss america..
-"tank yewwww" (thank you)
-"Hi" and wave
-I taught you "shhhh" and to put your finger over your mouth when you make the sound.  so cute!.. you do it so dramatically!
-"oh, wow"
-"awwww" and lay your head on us or against us and pat our back/leg/whatever
-"reading" and point at things in books all the time
-playing in the tupperware drawer in the kitchen
-you throw things down (on purpose) and say "uh ohhhh"... yeah it was cute the first couple of times...ha
-banging on the tray when you want more food
-trying to suck your food up by putting your head on the high chair tray.. such a lady, you are.
-you like to sit on the couch like a big girl
-singing along to mickey mouse
-you like to turn lights on and off
-you play really well on your own
-you don't realize it and stand up underneath the table and bonk your head every stinkin time
-love to brush your teeth
-put everything up to your ear and say "hewwwwooooo" like it's a phone
-hold the remotes and point them to the tv
-you are obsessed with my makeup and pretend you are putting it on...and you always put the hair brush up to your head
-you get your socks and hold your feet up (you know where they go :))
-you tried a real "DESSERT" for the first time: chick fil a cookies--- such a mess but you enjoyed!
-your daddy sniffs your feet, says shewwww weeeeeee, and you giggle like crazy
-you climb on everything
-you threw a real tantrum a few weeks ago (but haven't really had one quite that bad since)... like screamed and hit your hands on your legs over and over because I wouldn't push you anymore on your elephant... emily was here so I was SUPER embarrassed and got really sweaty. ha.
-you. love. to. dance.... anytime there's music on you stop what you're doing to wiggle.. we recently discovered "bug band" on hulu and that is super fun to watch you interact with!

*What else:
-still size 4 diapers (we use Pampers baby dry)
-super curly hair..
-mostly 12m clothes (some are too short, but the shirts are gapping at the neck)
-you love strawberries, peaches, chicken noodle soup, mac n cheese, juice, potatoes, sweet potato fries, turkey, chicken, toast, scrambled eggs, ritz crackers, honey nut cheerios, kix, vanilla wafers
-12-18m shoes/size 3/4

-you still reallllllyyyy love bath time!
-you slept through the night for about 2 weeks.. now we are kinda off again.. (waking at 10:30, 12:30, 3:30 and 5)... but you still take 2 one hour naps each day (you boycotted your afternoon nap for about a week and a half)
-still sleep with a sound machine
-love to be in the laundry room
-love swinging (the weather has been super nice so we've had lots of walks with friends and been to the park quite a bit!)
-you've taken steps here and there but still not walking all over the place
-your crawl has turned into something comical... you straighten your arms and legs--walk on your tiptoes and palms with your butt up in the air...
-you love to wave and say hi to everyone in stores


You have me wrapped around all 10 of your little fingers (your daddy, too).  Every single day I wake up and am so thankful I get to spend it with you!  I never know what to expect, which makes it even more fun!



Your little hands wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you, everything's funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
No, no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up, never grow up
