11 Months




It is no longer possible to get pictures of Mae with the month stickers....but she did have a fun time taking it off her shirt.


Mae wants to do everything that Miles does and Miles wants to be ALL over Mae all the time. It is a work in progress..but they do love be around each other. The other day after a challenging trip to the grocery store Miles and Mae held hands the entire drive home.



Mae is a pretty social baby. She will go up to strangers during story time and climb into their laps! Mae also enjoyed the visit from Uncle Joe.
Mae is now falling asleep in her crib, and sleeping there for her naps and until about 1am.
This face is the reason I decided Mae was not getting enough sleep in our bed...

Miles loves to feed Mae whatever he is eating. So here she is eating hummus and crackers, which is fine, but he has also fed her cheese (not good for a baby who can't tolerate dairy) and peanut butter.
Mae is much less of a baby this month. She is eating and sleeping better (working on it anyway). She says a few words and shakes her head for yes and no. She points to tell you what she wants and hits things when she gets upset (in a sweet baby way :)). She plays with Miles' toys and even knows how to use his toy stethoscope! She loves to give us kisses and is still as sweet as cab be. I can't believe that my baby will be 1 next month!!!!!!!!

Sleep

Imagine the exact opposite face...that it what I am working with at this exact moment. We are all in need of some sleep and Mae most of all. We are trying our hardest to get Mae to fall asleep in her crib and at right now it feels like it will never happen. Mae is able to fight sleep with a vengeance so wish us luck.

Sticks and Dirt....




(that is a fake chip and for some reason Miles and Mae both love it)

Worn Out!

Yesterday Grandma and Grandpa came over to watch Miles and Mae while I was at work. Mae had such a good time that she was beyond worn out and fell asleep at the table at 6:10!

Names




Over the past week or so Miles has been very interested in letters. Yesterday I showed him my name and his name using the letters from his alphabet puzzle. This morning he was very excited to show me the letters in our names. It is amazing what kids can remember!

Photo Shoot





These are from when Mae was 8 months old (I have been meaning to post them for over a month!). Our smiley girl wouldn't smile...but I love them anyway.

As I was looking through the 200+ pictures on my camera that I had not downloaded until a few minutes ago, I came across these 2 pis right next to each other. It made me laugh out loud...I guess Miles and Mae are more similar than I thought!

Our Sweet Boy turned 3 yesterday and we couldn't love him more!
