Update On The Girls: 11 Months

This is the second to last post for the girls! Let the party planning begin!

Adelyn at 11 Months:

Emery at 11 Months:

Some facts from the girls eleventh month of life:
-Wearing 12-18 month clothes.
-Mainly wearing cloth diapers with no snap. In disposables, they are wearing a size 4 diaper.
-Eating 4 times per day. They eat solids for breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner. They eat anything that we eat, just cut into little pieces. They are drinking cow's milk with every meal.
-They are sleeping in their cribs at night and for naps. They sleep 7pm-7am. They are taking 2 naps per day.
 

Random things we don't want to forget:
-The girls are still the fastest crawlers around. They can get anywhere fast! They are also pulling up on everything, cruising on the furniture, and standing unassisted for more than a minute at a time. They haven't tried to walk yet.
-Adelyn had a little retreat at Grammy and Champs house. She did great at their house, and Emery did great at home. It was the girls first night apart, and they didn't seem to mind!
-Both girls are appropriately waving and signing 'please' and 'all done.'
-The girls love reading. Adelyn usually chooses the book out of the book bin, but both girls sit intently while we read. Emery lets us finish an entire book, while Adelyn usually only wants us to read a couple pages.
-Both girls were sick with Roseola this month. We had some long days, but everyone is back to normal now. -At the beginning of the month, we volunteered at Vacation Bible School at our church. This entailed us being out of the house by 8:15am and not getting home until 12:15pm! The girls usually eat lunch at 11:00am, but were troopers about not eating until 12:30pm. We think they enjoyed the time away from home.
-They have really started to interact with Benton. He makes them laugh, and they make him laugh. They crawl after him (both at the same time...so funny), which he thinks is hysterical. Adelyn will play with Benton in the tunnel for an hour or so, and is such a trooper as he can be a little rough in such a tight space.
-Emery's favorite toy is anything she isn't supposed to play with. She is the reason that baby-proofing was invented. She is very persistent and determined.
-Emery is still obsessed with Brown Bearcat and daddy!  If Landon is sitting on the floor, she crawls up to him, sits on his lap, and then spins around (wanting him to stand up and carry her around).  We call this 'the spin cycle.'
-'Sharky' is Adelyn's new nickname. Her Mohawk has turned into a shark fin.
-Adelyn has the cutest scrunchy nose smile. Melts our hearts.
