Happy 11 Months Khloe!

We’re less than 1 month away from my baby turning ONE. I can’t take it!!!!

 (attempting to take her headband off and I am attempting to distract her from doing so.. ahh)

Weighs about 20 lbs. Wearing size 4 diapers and 6-9 and some 12 month clothes. Officially wears a 4W shoe.

She has completely mastered walking, and now thinks she can just take off running. She can turn in a complete circle AND walk backwards. She’s learned how to climb up on the couch all by herself.. she doesn’t quite understand that she can’t go off the edge without a boo-boo yet. As soon as I finish these “11 month” pics, the bumper is coming out of her bed. She is WAAAAY too close to being able to flip out of it, so sadly it has to go. : (

John David and I started reading to Khloe when I was pregnant and have continued to do so since then. I love that books are the first toys she reaches for right now. She walks around with them and sits down and flips through the pages while mumbling to herself.

This month she's really started to take an interest in baby dolls. Aunt Ruth bought her a baby doll a couple weeks ago and she has carried that baby around every where she goes. She gives the baby kisses (which means she all but licks the whole baby's face). SUPER cuteness!!

Still napping three times a day, but I feel like we are close to dropping the third. Her bed time is still around 7 and she gets up around 8-8:30.

She has FOUR teeth and two more on the top are just before breaking through. She LOVES finger foods (finally), especially puffs. One more month until whole milk, and let me tell you- I can NOT wait. We go through about $20 a WEEK of formula right now….One more month! : )

The past few weeks she has really started babbling more and more words. It seems like the only time the house is quiet is when she’s napping! A few words she’s saying: Mama, Daddy, Bye Bye, Bella (which sounds like Dey Dey), THIS, and Dance (which also sounds more like Deh Deh)

She LOVES music of any kind. The minute she hears music, she smiles and begins bobbing up and down. She’s recently started stamping her right foot really hard while dancing. The more you laugh at her the harder she dances. We really can’t get enough of it.

She gives BIG wet kisses, points for things she wants, and full on waves for “bye bye.” Things that she knows she’s not supposed to have she says “Da?” and brings it to me. Ha!

Her big ONE YEAR birthday invitations just went out today. It’s going to be October 1^st at 2:00 pm at my Grandparents’ church Family Life Center. We hope to see you all there!!

Happy Eleven Months baby girl. Please stop growing so fast.

Love, Mommy
