Happy 11 Months Andrea

Good Morning,
Andrea is 11 months old today!!! WOW this time last year i was going crazy waiting for her arrival! wondering if my water would miraculously break or if i would have to be induced!! hoping with each doctors appointment she would tell me ... its time .. go straight to the hospital!!! i was doing every and anything to make this child show her beautiful little face :) too bad reality meant waiting a whole other month for her debut. :) but all in all we were ready.. her room was already complete with clothes diapers furniture EVERYTHING!!

Now fast forward a year and here we are... i'm the proud mommy of my very own 11 month old!!
Andrea is weighing close to 17 lbs she had a dr appt last week and she was at 16.12 which is pretty heavy for a little one who so graciously refuses to be put down on the floor, in her play yard, or in the crib... which lets be honest is pretty frustrating... but we're working on that :)

Milestones:
Words she says: Mama, mom, dada, daddeeee, shhhh, mmmmm, bye bye (with a wave), and hi
Gestures: Waves Bye bye, raises her hand to motion stop, gives kisses, and hugs.
Andrea is also standing on her own for a few seconds, can pull her self up to standing.. will take a few steps with assistance but really isn't to interested in walking at all... most of the time if i try to get her to stand or take steps she starts to scream and falls back on her butt so i dont think shes quite ready for that yet. She feeds her self different little things that i give her to eat on her own... puffs, baby cheetos, gold fish crackers, bread, baby vienna sausages.
She's still eating 2nd stage baby foods since i tried 3rd stage and she hated it so i went back to 2nd.. but i'm trying to work in different finger foods to get her used to different consistencies.

We wont have a well visit for her until next month at 1year old so no stats as of right now.

All in all she is a super loving baby, i'm so proud of how much she's learned so far and how much she's taught me as well. I'm so blessed to have such an amazing daughter!!
mommy loves you little minnow!!

Mommy Loves You

You're Better Than The Best

I'm Lucky Just To Linger In Your Light

Cooler Than The Flip Side Of My Pillow Thats Right

Completely Unaware

Nothing Can Compare to Where

You Send Me, Lets me Know That Its Okay

Yeah Its Okay

And The Moments Where My Good Times Start To Fade

You Make Me Smile Like The Sun Fall Out Of Bed

Sing Like A Bird Dizzy In My Head

Spin Like a Record Crazy On a Sunday Night

You Make Me Dance Like a Fool Forget How to Breathe

Shine Like Gold Buzz Like a Bee

Oh You Make Me Smile

Even When You're Gone

Somehow You Come Along Just Like

A Flower Poking Through the Sidewalk Crack

And Just Like That

You Steal Away The Rain

I Dont Know How I Lived Without You

Cause Evertime I Get Around You

I See The Best of Me Inside Your Eyes

You Make Me Smile

Hello June 15

And on the 15th of june we shall regain our place with the part of society that is no longer staying with mommy and daddy!!! WOOOOHOOOO

Today is an extremely special day one that i thank God for!!! We're finally getting the keys to our townhouse :) obviously being that today is tuesday and the weekend isn't until saturday we're going to be moving things in little by little during the week however we're expected to be totally in by the weekend. :) I'm so excited i can't wait to start putting things away and decorating. Andrea's room will have a new theme which is very exciting for crazy mommy's like myself lol!!! Of course it will be ballerina :) and i'm actually wondering how i didn't think of that theme in the first place. Yes people i know im obsessed, just let me be. I've got to be honest though, i'm really going to miss my mommy and daddy!! it's been so nice spending quality time with them and watching them enjoy andrea. It's an experience that we were lucky to have and we're truly blessed that we had their support while we were going though all the ins and outs the past month and a half has brought us. They are truly the best and i don't know what i would do without them.

Anyway... As for the rest of the house i really cannot wait to see how it comes out as far as the decorating goes!! Gotta get all of our pics up on the walls!! oh yes and of course andrea proof the whole place. The neighborhood is full of babies and little kids so i'm really excited. A new start is always fun and exciting. So let the moving begin as of 6 pm today :)
