11 months

So Miss Janie turned 11 months last Sunday, the 28th.  I cannot even believe she'll be a year old this month!!

Here's what she's been up to in the last month:

• She started saying "uh oh". Apparently we say it more than we realize and one evening one of us said it and we heard her repeat it! Now she says it all the time! I'm calling it her first word :)  I don't really count "mama" and "dada" ;)  Here's a little video.

• This girl crawls so fast on the hard floors that she's wearing holes in all of her pajamas. It's driving me nuts!!  I never thought I'd be so anxious for her to start walking, but I'm sick of buying new pajamas! Thankfully...

• ...she took her first steps on the 26th.  Then she wouldn't try again for the whole week. This happened with Aiden too. We encourage her a lot though and she'll take up to 4 steps at a time now.  She is fully confident using the doggy walker though ;)

At Grandma and Grandpa Knuckles' with their little walker. She was so proud of herself ;)

• Janie has figured out how to turn on the water. I always take her to the bathroom to clean her up after she eats and she loves to turn the water on herself.

• If we leave Janie's car seat out, she always climbs in. She loves playing in it.  Lately, though, she hates when I actually need to put her in and she'll arch her back to try to keep me from getting her in there :/

Love this one!

Here are some more pictures from the last month.  I know I've posted a bunch of these to Instagram, but I like to have all of the pictures in the same place.

Playing with a friend, Channing.

We moved into our new home over the course of the last month and sold some of our furniture before the move. Janie thought it was pretty neat that the t.v. was on the ground for a while after we sold the media stand.

We love that the carts at Costco make it possible to have both kids sit in the front. Sometimes when we're grocery shopping Aiden insists on squishing up front with Janie.

One morning when Janie was waiting so patiently for me to get her breakfast..haha.

Janie squeezed the nipple on her bottle and perfect little droplets of milk landed all over her face (you can see if you enlarge)..haha.

One morning Aiden came to get me because Janie was making a mess. Turns out she had gotten into Trent's Muscle Milk (protein powder) and it was all over the floor (it kind of blends in). Apparently she thought it was pretty tasty! We have since moved the Muscle Milk to a higher shelf ;)

I've been giving Janie a sippy cup with water lately trying to prepare her for the transition from a bottle to a sippy cup when she turns one in a few weeks.

The kiddos in this fun cart at Home Depot.

 Trent was exercising outside and Janie wanted to be out with him.

We gave Janie a quesadilla one night. Most of it ended up on the ground..ha.

St. Patrick's Day. This is the best shot I could get..haha.

The kiddos spent a lot of time watching movies as I packed for our move.

We were cleaning out the refrigerator at the rental after we moved out. Janie is always drawn to the refrigerator.

We've discovered that Janie really likes to lounge in the last month. If there's ever a pillow or any kind of cushion behind her, she'll always lay back on it..ha.

We went to the waffle truck for dinner on International Waffle Day.

Janie still loves to eat. She wants anything we're eating.

 

We went to the park and I had to show off Janie's cute sandals. I never put shoes on her! I'm going to have to start here pretty soon though, as she really starts walking.

We upgraded to a king-size bed and it has storage drawers that Janie happens to fit perfectly in ;)

Checking out our new great park.

Look at the little smile on her face going down the slide :)

Such a cute little clubhouse.

Proof that Janie unrolls the toilet paper anytime she can get her little hands on it!

She's always by Aiden's side when he's in the bath.

And pretty much always gets soaked..haha.

Daddy took a day off work last week, so we went to Joe's Farm Grill for lunch.

We loved being outside before it gets too hot here.

Janie trying to push Aiden :)

Then we went to Target and Aiden decided he wanted to sit in Janie's seat, so they swapped.

 Later he joined her. Love them!

Just a few sleeping pics.

Poor thing fell asleep sitting up!

Asleep in the car. She had been playing with the soccer ball.
