Remy Noelle:: Eleven Months Old

There's only a week until your first birthday. Time is going by so quickly!

-You are officially walking! It was amazing watching you learn. You seem too little to be acting so big!

-Tantrums are your new thing. Arching your back and squealing are involved.

-Music is one of your favorite things, and you can actually dance to the beat! I love to see how freely you express yourself. There is nothing holding you back, it's so refreshing! I pray you never lose that.

-You've taken more of an interest in Willow lately. She loves it when you feed her your snacks, and you like to pet her and laugh. It's so cute!

-Your blankie is always by your side. You've started bringing it out of your crib when I get you up from your nap and you love to carry it around while you play. Occasionally you lay on the floor with it.

-Fritz is becoming your pal. You both sit and play together so well now! You love sharing your toys.

-Your favorite foods are garbanzo beans, raisins, peaches and pretty much anything I put in front of you. You're such a good eater!

-You talk all the time, mostly to yourself. :) You can say Dada, ball, mama, all done, wow, and pretty. We love trying to get you to say new words! 

-Playing 'chase' is one of your favorite games. You love to run away! You also love to roll the ball back and forth to us.

-Uncle Kyle got to see you this month. It had been a long time since you saw him last. You showed him all your tricks! We can't wait to see him again for Thanksgiving.

We love you so much! We are so excited to celebrate your first birthday in a couple weeks!

-Love, Mom and Dad

Remy Noelle:: Ten Months Old

Wow, can't believe 10 months have passed!

-This past month you have mastered crawling (in your own way, of course).

-You had your first experience at a pumpkin patch

-You've started to get into EVERYTHING. Seriously, everything.

-Some of your favorite foods are chick peas, pears, oatmeal, and pizza crust.

-You can walk with your walker, but you sit down immediately if we let go of your hands.

-Brown Bear, Brown Bear is by far your favorite book. You open all the slides and rush through so you can stare at all the kids' faces on the last page.

-You're really into destroying everything. You love to throw things on the ground.

-Speaking of throwing things on the ground; You realized you can feed Willow, and you love to do that at every meal. You toss your food off the table and look down to watch her eat it. This means you eat about 20% of what I give you, and Willow gets the rest (and she loves you for it)!

-Man can you yell! You have become so much more vocal, and you ramble on and on and make such funny noises.

-You still love to people-watch. You wait for them to see you and give them a huge cheesy grin.

-Your top two teeth are coming in, along with one more! So you are a little cranky, but not too bad.

-You have started to sleep a good 10 hours at night, and I thought the day would never come! I am hoping to get you to 12 hours by your first birthday. We'll see if you cooperate!

-You love going for walks.

-Your hair is getting a little calmer and longer!

-Your dad and I never want to forget how you act like a little bird and open your mouth when we are eating, it's so cute!

-I still cherish nursing you before bed. I will be very sad when that special time comes to an end. You are the sweetest when you're laying in my arms and looking up at me with your big brown eyes. And then you bite me and giggle. HA!

-You are so curious. The only thing that scares you is the vacuum. Other than that you are very daring!

-You love to make people laugh--you're such a clown! You tilt your head to the side and wait to get a laugh, then you laugh too! Other times you'll just laugh if your dad and I think something on T.V. is funny.

I hope you keep your silly personality. You are so fun to be around, and we love to play with you. You make everyone that's around you smile on a daily basis. We love you Munchie!

-Mom and Dad

Remy Noelle:: Nine Months Old

This is a recap of month 9, you're actually 10 months old today! This has been a big month for you!

-A lot of big things happened this month, and one of them is you started crawling!

-You started pulling yourself up and walking around furniture even before you started crawling. :)

-Still only two teeth, but your top two should pop through any time now.

-You clap when we ask you to now, and sometimes when you're mad you'll clap while you're crying--and we just laugh at you because it's so funny! 

-You've started to throw a ball and chase it, that usually keeps you busy for a while.

-You get nervous when your dad yells during football games.

-Books are extremely interesting to you. You love looking through them and turning the pages.

-You've been a little clingy to me lately, you're wanting to be held a lot more too--it could be because of your teeth coming in. Either way, I usually don't mind snuggling and carrying you around. 

-When you laugh you scrunch your nose, it's so cute!

-You're still a great eater and you love trying new foods.

-Peppa Pig is your favorite show, and you squeal and flail your arms when the theme song comes on.

-Sleep is a little better at night, but you still like to wake up a few times.

-You rolled from your back to your tummy for the first time this month, and you also stood up in your crib for the first time!

-You are getting into EVERYTHING.

-Going places and meeting new people are still two of your favorite things. You're definitely a social baby :)

-It is so fun to watch you learn and grow. You're starting to figure so many things out and we can just see your little mid working. You're extremely curious and careful. You definitely think things through before you do them (a lot like your dad).

-We've learned that you absolutely do things your own way, you don't crawl on two knees, you kind of scoot on one leg and push with the other :) and you do all things in your own time, like waiting until 9 months to roll from back to tummy, even though you definitely had the ability to sooner. 

It's so fun to see your personality develop. We love you munchkin!
