Dancing Queen

I started a post all about Kaley a while back and just haven't finished it yet. It is all cute stories and funny things she says and I am hoping to finish it soon so I can post it. Until then I just needed to share a few recent photos of big sister!

First Day of MDO 2010

First Day MDO 2009

Can you believe how much she has changed?

First day of dance!

More to come later. I am just realizing that other than Movie Monday and Jaelynn's monthly posts I haven't posted much in the past couple of months so be looking for some updates!

The countdown begins!

Only one more month until we have a one year old again!

~I have no idea how much she weighs or how "tall" she is but maybe I will take some measurements tomorrow~

~Still in size 2 diapers

~Clothes are still pretty much the same-my 11 month old is still primarily wearing 3-6 month gymbo (but I do put her 6-12 month summer stuff on her just so she can wear it!), 6 month carters and oshkosh, 0-6 month pedipeds are fitting nicely now and I do put on her 6-12 month ones too and those are just a little big. I thought it would be perfect having girls the same ages for clothing except I have a feeling all of Kaley's winter clothes from this age might be too big. We will see.

~Sleeping is the same, but she is so flexible in her schedule that she can take one or 2 naps and still be a happy girl! This flexibility has come in hand nicely now that we are getting more involved at church and stuff because some days she only gets one nap. So blessed to have such an easy going girl (in some aspects of life).

~Crawling everywhere, cruising along everything, walking with push toys.

~Stood independently for a couple seconds a few times.

~Still not too much interest in crawling up the stairs which mommy is very happy about!

~Still eats like a champ!

~Is mimicking SO many words and sounds! These are words that she doesn't say spontaneously but mimics when we say them. Baby, book, pop, mama, dada, love you, Kaley, BayBay (for baylah), sissy (diddy)

~Words she actually knows and says spontaneously-hi and daddy. The other day John walked out of the room while I was holding her and she kept squirming in my arms to look around me while saying "daddy, daddy, daddy". It was too cute. She also says it when he walks into the room and says hi daddy!

~Waves hi and bye to everyone

~Started clapping and giving high fives.

~Started making the "muah" sound when giving kisses (open mouth of course!)

~Giggles all the time, just a happy girl in general.

~Dances to any music she hears

~Loves reading books

~LOVES playing in the bounce house and being bounced by her sister.

~Started cutting her first tooth

~Mommy started planning the first birthday party! Nothing big but I designed the invites so I at least got something done! Looking forward to celebrating with friends and family!

As football season begins what better way to photograph our baby girl than cheering on her favorite team!
