11 Months Old

On the 15th Bailey was 11 months old and is beginning to be more of a toddler than a baby. I get a little sad thinking about her growing so fast and how fast the baby days go.

Her first word is officially "Duck." This became official when other people other than Brandon and I understood what she was saying. I hear her babble all day and attempting words so it takes someone else's comprehension for it to feel confirmed. She loves her bath ducky and it is kept in the same place above her changing table so she is always asking for it every time I change her diaper.

Bailey also points and says "that" at everything she wants or finds interesting. It is really cute and she gets to excited to point and express herself.

She is continually getting closer to walking by herself. She walks between furniture very well and is always grabbing our hands to help her walk to where she wants to go. She just needs a bit more courage and balance and she will be off.

Bailey has moved to being a pretty consistent one nap a day baby and I am enjoying the long nap and having a bit more flexibility in our days.

She is an adventurous, independent, joyful, and content little girl. I cannot believe she is going to be a year old soon!

This was taken before Brandon and I went out for our Valentine's date. We went to the Yard House for the first time at Fashion Island. The food was great and we really enjoyed relaxing and spending quality time together. Brandon had Monday off work so we had a long and fun three day weekend together. We enjoyed a lot of rainy family days and were able to have some date time too.
