My dearest little girl,

I cannot believe that 11 months have passed since you came into our lives. You are such a spirited little person already. You have such personality. You have two parts to you-real calm and quiet and the other is real fiery. You ask for what you want and you have no problem telling people when you are pissed off. You love to dance. You have 4 dance moves and luckily we have captured them all on video. Your dance moves are the following: one is shaking your booty, one is where you shake your booty and put your head down, one is where you put your hand in the air and shake your booty and then one is where you just twist your torso. It is all so cute to watch. You still love to listen to music and you love to sing songs. You do the hand moves for wheels on the bus and twinkle twinkle. You have such rythym.

You were a lady bug for Halloween and I especially love this photo because you are always a bug on the run. If every door is not closed or the gates are not shut, then you run and then you find the stairs and up you go. You are pretty good at the stairs but I don’t want to test it out-meaning you going by yourself. You enjoyed your costume and I think you enjoyed the Halloween party we attended because you could flirt with all of the boys.

You love feeding yourself. Your favorite food is butternut and acorn squash but your do enjoy carrots, banana and yogurt. Basically the only food you will allow to be fed by anyone but yourself is yogurt. I love how independent you are already. Your brother likes to feed you. Actually he loves to help me take care of you unless you are playing with his toys and that happens often.

You have been getting in 3 teeth and I swear this evening I saw another one coming in. This whole month has been tough because of teething. We have had many nights of tylenol and/or homeopathy. I feel so bad for you. I cannot even imagine the pain. And to top it off-day light savings time has messed it all up. You are now waking so early and going to sleep so early.

You are very chatty. You can Mo, Da, Ma, By, Hi and a bunch of other words that make no sense to me but I am sure they mean a ton to you. You are so smart. You can watch me do something and then do it the next. You love to play and love to play rough. It is cute. You love to wrestle with your brother daily.

I cannot tell you in words how much I love you. I feel so lucky to have you in my life. I feel full because of you and hope that your life is full of love and laughter.

Love, Your momma
