11 months and growing like weeds...

Mickey moo bear!  How can it be that you are 11mths?!?!  It just doesn't seem possible that you are almost 1!  I just love you to death and I am so excited about all you are doing and learning!  You are such a little dare devil and you keep me on my toes!  Your big sister Adah is quite the pill and beats you up pretty good but I think she better watch out bc you are one tough cookie and you are going to soon put her in her place!  Here are a few things you are up to this past month:

• you now have 2 teeth
• you are trying to walk, you can take 5 steps in a row before falling
• you are a BIG time mommy's girl
• you LOVE your sister and still get so excited to see her 
• you want to do everything your sister is doing
• you love to click your tongue 
• you say da-da, ma-ma, na-na and you try to say adah (uh-da)
• you learned to clap
• you learned to wave and you wave ALL THE TIME!  Instead of pointed at things you want you wave
• you have started to smile more at people instead of being so serious
• you wanted to make your last 2 days of 10mths exciting and you had your first real visit to the ER and were diagnosed with pneumonia just the other day and from that you had a bad allergic reaction and we found out you are allergic to penicillin
• you LOVE food...all of it!  You just hate being fed, you want to only eat things you can feed yourself

Michaela, we love you more than you could ever imagine!  You are such a joy and we could not imagine our lives without you!  You make all three of us smile everyday and we can't wait for you to wake up each morning or from nap so we can run in and see your precious smile and hear your excited squeak!  Now to start planning your first birthday party!

Here are a few pics to recap this past month for M:

She hates pumpkin patches

She loves to play peek a boo at the coffee table and sometimes eat it

Kid watching is one of her favorite hobbies

Doing some more kid watching and wishing she was big enough to play on the playground!

How could I leave out big sister Adah!  She is growing and changing so much too!  Now 2 1/2 she talks more and knows more than most!  She is one smart cookie!  She loves music and sings non stop in the car!  She knows all 100 songs on her kids cd!  She is loving school!  It is so neat to have her come home and amaze me with each new thing she learns from letters, to writing, songs, sign language, colors, etc!  She is officially potty trained!  It took us 1 week and she is a pro at it!  She no longer wants me in there with her or my help!  She is such a precious, sweet, loving, moody, bossy, loving girl!  She is a great big sister when she isn't trying to strangle M, tackle her or body slam her!  I just can't get enough of each of my girls!  I am truly blessed beyond anything I could have ever imagined! Who knew you could love two little people so much!  I thank God for them everyday!  

Isn't she beautiful!

 Adah's first daddy/daughter date night!  They went to chick fil a and got to go on a horse and carriage ride!  

 This girl LOVES to bounce!  She would bounce all day!  This was as her preschool fall festival!

 first time getting her face painted (at the festival)

 She won the cake walk!

Adah's preschool had the cutest little Thanksgiving feast last Friday!  All the kids painted "indian" shirts and the teachers were all pilgrims but little miss prissy didn't want to wear hers!

Adah and her teacher Mrs. Dawn!  She is honestly the best teacher!  She truly loves the kids and they LOVE her!  

We had a play date at the park this past week bc it is so nice/hot here!
