I cannot believe that our little girl is already 11 months old, soon to be a year in a just 2 short weeks! I thought the first 6 months were never going to end with all her colic and fussiness, and now the past 4-5 months have truly been racing by! It's crazy to think that in 3 short months we have 2 little ones in the house! ;) Well, as we have come to 11 months here, Shiloh is a walking machine, going anywhere and everywhere, and of course getting into anything and everything she is not supposed to! She is also starting to understand words like "momma and dada when she says them now, as well as waving hi and bye to everyone and clapping for herself and all those around her on a regular basis. She has also recently become obsessed with opening and closing doors! And she loves bath time and outdoor time. The one thing we don't like to do anymore is smile, haha just kidding! But it is getting much harder to get a smile out of her for the camera now since she is so busy busy and constantly has her attention focused on something else, such as the birds, squirrels or people. That's ok though! I am loving how interactive she is becoming as well as how sweet and cuddly she can be sometimes as well. The realization that I only have 3 months left with just her has really been sinking in lately, and I have been trying to soak all that time in! (When she is not utterly wearing me out! :) ) We are truly so blessed to have such a beautiful healthy girl though. I hope as she grows and ages, she will always know how valued, treasured and loved she is, not only by us, but also by her heavenly Father who will never let her down. I hope you enjoy the images we got! The first are from about a week ago when she was playing outside in the front yard picking the flowers, like she loves, and the second grouping is from Lake Shawnee.
She makes this face a lot now! :)
Love the dirt on her little fingers here.
On her own bog adventure!
We tried so hard to get a good family shot, but just came to the realization that it doesn't work too well with her and a tripod now. :)
Clapping for herself!
She loves water!! We can't wait for her to experience the beach!
My little sweetheart!
In her own little world!
The sign used to say 11 months... ;)
GQ pose. One of my favorite shots of the two of them to date!! :)
Following the shadows with daddy.
For all of you coming up for her party in a couple of weeks, we cannot wait to see you!! :) I'm sure she will have several new things to show you! We love you! And thanks so everyone who follows my blog. I hope it brings some joy to your day as we show bits of my photography as well as pieces of our own family life!
