11 months!

We are cruising right along and almost 1! We went on our second trip to the beach this month. We went with mommy, Raegan, Sloane, and Bubbie and we were ROCKSTARS! We were so good in the car and just about everywhere we went. Mommy has decided that traveling with us is not bad at all. We enjoyed the beach much more this time than when we were 3 months old. We loved the sand and thought it tasted just great. We also really wanted in the water and we got to get wet a few times. On the way back from the beach, we got to go see some natural caverns and that was pretty cool too! Our trip was a big success and we can't wait for this year's Girls' Trip (especially because Baby Ellie will be here!)


From Samantha- I am cruising a lot. I will walk holding on to someone's fingers and can push my walker really well. I might be walking unassisted by a year, we'll see. I now have 4 teeth and my first ear infection as well. I'm on antiobiotics right now but I'm still super happy about life. Mrs. Sherry tells mommy that I'm the boss and take things from all the kids at daycare, regardless of their age or size. I especially like to crawl all over my sister and Kelli, a friend at daycare. She doesn't like it one bit though. I'm fiesty, fiesty, fiesty!

From Mallory- I'm still pulling up on things and will cruise furniture some. I'm not too sure about walking though. Crawling is just too fun and I'm fast. It's doubtful that I'll be walking this month but when I do, I will take off! I have 7 teeth! I am just as Mellow as I can be most of the time. When we went to the beach and stayed with Grandpa GG's friends, Emily nicknamed me Mellow Mallory. It's rather fitting. I still get beat up by my sister and don't like it one bit. Someone tell her to stop!

Well next month we will be one and mommy just doesn't know where the time went. She is busy getting ready for Baby Ellie's baby shower this weekend. After that, she is going to go hog-wild on our party. Raegan tells us that this is normal but we haven't witnessed it yet. We are having a Cat in the Hat party and we will be appearing as Thing 1 and Thing 2! We can't wait to share pictures with you.
