Happy Eleven Months Baby Girl!

As I write this I am shaking my head. I can't believe you are 11 months old. What a whirlwind of a year. It is so weird to think how you used to nurse 12-15 times a day and now you nurse maybe three. You used to lay in one spot and just stare at the bright lights of the Christmas tree and now you move as fast as lightning.

I remember when you were first born I would ask Shanessa questions about what is normal at your age and she would reply, I can't really remember. I used to think, how can she not remember it was only 9 months ago. Well, that is true. It is so hard to remember what you were like at 4 months old. I have been asked if you were a good sleeper, or how much you weighed and so on, and I honestly have to think really hard about it. This is a reflection of how fast time flies but also on how much is absorbed in both our brains in one day.

Today you spent the day at Grandma's house. It was Monday and I had to work. After I was done I picked you up and we came home. Daddy was home and he gave you a big hug. We ate dinner. You had spaghetti hot dish. You played for a while, then bath and bed. You were in bed by 7pm and I think you fell asleep around 7:25 or so. I cleaned from 7-8pm. Got to do it when I have the time.

Hadley Marie, we are so blessed to have you in our life! You make each day special and our life is so much fuller with you in it. We love you so very much!
