Summer Indiana trip

We are way behind! We had a great trip to Indiana this summer. Grandad arranged a visit to some farm animals (which both girls loved... The horses were especially popular with little sister),

Harper did some cooking and she even got to FISH (which she loved). It was a great visit.

Watch Me Grow!

Apparently Finley has entered the "afraid of the Giant Winnie the Pooh" phase.

I am still trying to figure out how this little girl is 11 months old. She is the happiest,  cuddliest, most lovable little girl, and we are blessed to call her ours.

• She is a social butterfly. She is always smiling and waving at everyone she sees.

• She is loud. Whether she is babbling or just making noises, she is doing it at full volume.

• She is getting several teeth and everything goes into her mouth!

• She is a tornado. She is constantly taking things off shelves and pulling up on everything she can reach.

• She loves to be with her sister and is constantly interjecting herself in everything Harper is doing.

• She only drinks a bottle before nap and bedtime and they are only about 4oz each. She would much rather eat real food.

• She had never met a peice of food she doesn't like (she has even warmed up to cottage cheese). She loved to eat. We go through a TON of blueberries, especially.

• She is a great sleeper. She finally learned naps and sleeps for about 2-3 hours I the afternoon and then from about 6:30-7 in the morning.

• She loves to clap and dance

• She just learned "touchdown", but she refuses to do it now. She apparently doesn't like to perform on demand.

Here are a few recent pictures:
