Faye Louise is.....

11 months old!!!! (13ish days ago...)

My dearest little Faye Faye,

You are 11 months old now. Nearly a year old! Time goes so fast. I've cherished all the little moments knowing that it won't be long now till you'll be running around with your brother and sister and won't have time to cuddle with me.

You have learned how to pull yourself up on things to a standing position and cruise the furniture. You think it's funny to let go and see how long you can stand before you go crashing down on your bottom.

You weighed 20lbs at your last appointment and I was told you were underweight. Turns out you needed a formula supplement. So now you are back to nursing full-time and drinking formula two times a day and eating some baby foods and our food. And I think you are doing just fine. You seem to be chunking up again. 

This past weekend Daddy and I took you to a youth convention with us. With the exception of a few tired fits, you did really well and had fun being spoiled by us. You kept asking for Bob (Liam) the whole time and you got really excited when I told you we were going to go pick up Bob (Liam) Saturday night.

You have so much fun chasing Olivia and Liam around the house and playing with them. It's adorable to watch. Liam just had his birthday party on Sunday and got a bunch of new toys that you love playing with too. You keep taking his Mr. Freeze and Superman and holding them in your little hands all day. You throw a fit if they take them from you or if you lose them. 

You are finally getting two front teeth in between the fangs but they aren't coming in super fast. So it's not really helping. You still have fangs and now resemble a cat. I am so sorry! You are such a beautiful girl though. And when you do your silly grin to show it off it makes you that much cuter because you are a beautiful girl with personality. 

You are the fiersest, sweetest, silliest, craziest, most loving, most confusing, most unpredictable baby yet and I love you very much. You are our's and you are a part of this family. Beautifully meshed into our daily life and routine. It may have taken longer then anticipated but we are there. We are here in this moment loving life as a family of five. And you, my little Faye Faye, complete us for this moment in our lives. 

I love you sweet baby...

Love - Mommy
