11 Months

Well, their 11 month birthday was almost a month ago, which just goes to show that as they get older, I have less time! But as always, the older they get, the more fun they get! We are getting a kick out of each of their little personalities, which continue to get stronger every day! At 11 months, they say dada, occasionally mama, hi, trying to say bye, attempting uh-oh, they wave, clap, dance (as always,) respond to "come here," when you say "good job," they clap with pride, when you say "give me a kiss," Ellie puckers and smacks her lips together and Molly snaps her tongue thinking that's a kiss:) They crawl all over the house and follow us everywhere. Their main target is the stairs, closets, and Jackson's dog food...I found Molly once with about 10 pieces of it in her mouth...YUCK! She seemed to think it was hilarious though! They are both pulling up and walking around the furniture. They fight over toys occasionally but seem to accept the lesson of "sharing." Molly is such a little tease at this point. She loves to think you're coming to get her and she immediately turns and tries to get away from you. Again...thinking this is hilarious! She loves to cuddle and snuggle herself onto you. On the flip side, her stubbornness remains to get stronger as well! She has been a pain to get to fall asleep and only wants to fall asleep in someone's arms. We've been working on getting her to get herself to sleep, which works, but only if we stand next to her crib until she's asleep. But overall, she's such a goofball and laughs at everything:) Ellie is still a very easy baby, but is learning traits from her sister quickly to learn how to get her way. She is starting to become more attached to people and doesn't like it when anyone leaves the room. She has a new facial expression which she wears on her face most of the time. He lips are sealed together making a little grin, which makes her look so sweet and innocent:) She is also starting to love to cuddle in the morning and fall back asleep snuggling with me. My favorite is watching her sleep because she looks like an angel:)
