11 Months!

2012-08-07 august 2012

With all of the craziness going on in our lives (job changes, house remodeling, crazy callings and interstate moving)  I hadn’t even thought about her little monthly photo shoot until a couple of hours before we left for our California road trip!  Ahhhh!  So, with every clean item of clothing packed, a 5 minute glam-baby shoot in her favorite pink fur coat sounded pretty dang good.

-Babycakes is a little snuggle bug!  We always thought she was a cuddle baby- just too busy to stop and cuddle for longer than a half second.  I didn’t know this until last month, but every time J has picked her up from her crib he’s been teaching her how to give the best hugs.  She even pats your back and makes little “hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm” sighs into your shoulder.  It’s pretty much the best thing to wake up to every morning.  Go J Daddy!

-She’s conquered going up and down stairs now.

-She loves the Olympics and claps right on queue.

-Amelia-Jayne has discovered the bathroom.  Fishing in the porcelain throne and going through rolls of TP in seconds is a full time job for her.

-J’s only been speaking to her in Spanish this summer, since we want her to grow up with both languages.  She’s been responding to both languages, but my favorite is when her cousin, Andrew, goes around saying “mija, mija, come here!”

-She chews with 5 teeth now!

-She’s constantly “singing.”

-Still no stranger danger with this girl!  She loves everybody who catches her eye.  She might shrug into us and pretend to be shy for 3 seconds, then completely warms up and laughs at every one.

-Babycakes has a signature move- her “Dr. Evil” finger in the mouth move.  She whips it out when she meets people or gets caught doing something she’s not supposed to be.

-Although she’s been able to get off the couch and chairs for months, if we tell her to “stay here”- she’ll stay!  It’s been quite the little miracle trick, especially this month.

Can’t believe she’s turning one this month!
