Her first "pony ride" on Kreek and Kaegens' horse though this pony was a big one and it made momma nervous!

Her favorite past time!

It didn't take long for her to read herself to sleep.

Well, our little 11 month old won't be that much longer! Her 1st Birthday is just around the corner! That landmark just seems to sneak up on you! Like everyone says, "I can't believe she will be one!" She is such a sweet girl though she is learning how to use her powers against us. A simple bump on the noggin will bring Daddy running. She won't even be crying real tears until she sees him and knows he knows she's "hurt", then she really turns on the sympathy face and "cry". It's cute eventhough she did bonk her head! The past few nights we've been out of town and the pack 'n play just wasn't comfortable enough for her as she let us know many hours after her bedtime and then again in the middle of the night til she worked her way in between us. Which if you know me and how much I need my sleep and if you know her and how wild she is in her sleep, then you'll know none of us got that much sleep for two days! So she's been a little tired lately and makes the cutest fake whiny face by wrinkling her nose and moaning (once again) that fake cry. She loves to look at books and loves to turn the pages all be herself. It's so cute to see her two little thumbs working to pull the pages apart! She headbangs to music...I have no idea how she learned that! She eats like a champ! And when we're home, sleeps like one too! She can say Dad, Dadda, dog, hi and this week she has learned to say the "M" word though it comes and goes and it's usually when I'm not around! She's testing herself by standing on her own for small amounts at a time...it won't be long til she's off and running!
