11 Months!

Holy Cow! 

11 Months already?

We have enjoyed these 11 months

and watching Eliana grow has just been

the best thing.

Being able to stay at home with her is what I always dreamed.

Well being able to stay at home with the kids was my dream.

Eliana has done a lot this month.

Grew some teeth.

Likes Patty Cakes.

Ate cheerios. (Made her gag)

Drinks from sippy cups. (Not the ones that she has to suck. The bigger kid ones. Sometimes she takes in a little too much but she just coughs it up with big red eyes and a huge smile.)

And learned to walk.

She is still a little scared to walk on her own.

She feels like she needs to hold onto our fingers.

Dear Eliana,
We love you very much. You are almost a year old and our love for you grows more each day. Your baby brother is almost here! We know you are going to love him. How? Because you show love to other children, especially babies. You like to cuddle with them, giving them huge hugs. You are a lot like your mommy and not in the best way hehe but we love that you are very talkative. Just like you are a lot like mommy you are also a lot like daddy, very loving and caring. I love when I watch a movie that makes me cry you stare at me and wipe the tears off my face. This is how I know you will be a great sister, but trust yourself like we trust you. You can walk! We are always there to comfort you when you fall and pick you up but you can do it.

I haven't been able to post like I use to.

About everything.

Or even write things down.

It's a little hard with a little that wants my attention all the time.

Not a bad thing.

But very tiring especially with this pregnancy.

But I love being able to watch her grow.
