11 Months



It's crazy to think that this time next month we will be celebrating my daughter's first birthday. I'm pretty sure that she was just a tiny 7 lb. baby yesterday. I don't even remember what life was like without her. Heck, was there life without her? Living took on a whole new meaning when she came into the world. She drives me crazy. She cries. She screams. She throws things just to get a reaction from me. The sassiness level of this girl is through the roof. And yet, somehow she is still the sweetest, silliest, most loving person ever.

Piper is afraid of no one. She continues to throw herself into stranger's arms without hesitation. (Be still my heart!) She loves everyone. We have yet to come across a person she didn't like. She is especially fond of our neighbor, Will, and hugs him every chance she gets.

This month she learned how to walk and climb. She also learned how to bite...

Piper got a puppy for her early birthday present. His name is Banner. She is very good at pushing him around. Very good.

Piper eats constantly. She loves food. She especially loves food she can feed to herself and attempts to use a spoon. One of her favorite things to do while I'm feeding her is bite down on the spoon. She laughs and laughs as I "pry" it from her mouth.

Piper learned how to make clacking sounds with her mouth, which we believe she thinks is a kissing sound.

Her favorite task is to pull all the books off the bookshelf and then sit in her mess.

She likes to eat dog food, probably just because I said not to.

As always, she is dancing and singing everyday. She is the best thing ever.

Piper continues to babble and said her first word on purpose, No!

She loves coming on campus with Mommy and playing with her friends.

Her favorite toy is Big Baby, mommy's baby doll when she was little.

What a life we have.
