Mother's Day and Father's Day

John and I celebrated our first Mother's Day and Father's day this year. They were pretty low key days, which is just fine with us. Since we weren't able to make it to Iowa for either of the days, we took these photos to send to my parents. Of course, I never got around to doing it, so Mom and Dad, this blog post if for you two.  Happy Mother's Day and Father's Day to fabulous and wonderful parents! You are the best for sure!

9 months, 10 months, and 11 months

The monthly photos continue ... 9 months, 10 months, and 11 months.  

We ended up taking two sessions of photos for 9 months because we couldn't get a good one. Here are photos from each of the "photo sessions". 

Here stats at the last doctor's appointment in May were:

 17 pounds 8 ounces

28.25 inches

As usual we took our sweet time downloading the photos from the camera to the computer, so here are the 10 month photos and the 11 month photos. 

It is wonderful to look back at all of her monthly photos and see how much she has changed. Not only is her appearance changing (taller, more hair), but her mobility and ability to do things increases every day. She is really into climbing and tries to climb up on things, over things, and out of things. She loves to pull anything and everything off tables, book shelves, cabinets, etc. She even grabs and pulls things when she can't really see what she is grabbing.  

We are getting ready to celebrate her first candle in a couple weeks which doesn't even seem possible. How crazy our last year has been for sure!
