matilda's eleven months

I don't see know how, but here we are....
One month away from our baby girl turning one.
Eleven months of Tily has been so great. She brings us sunshine every day! 



Matilda is:

... starting to walk more and more! Her balance is getting steadier and she's getting braver and taking more steps on her own. She definitely does not perform well, though. She does not like to show off her tricks. Ha ha I try to get it on camera or have her show off to family, and she plops right down and just sits still.

... a kissy face! She loves to give smooches to us and her sisters. And she has a darling little pucker she does to say she'd like to kiss. She is adorable!

... learning more and more words. And her nonsense babbling is my favorite sound. She talks a lot, and likes to join in all of our conversations. She tries to sound out words we say to her and I am pretty sure she's picked up words like "chocolate" "eat" "cheese" "love you" "Jesus" and "Grandma" - you know, the important ones! ;)

... a teaser. Like her sisters, she's figured out pretty early how to be silly and tease us. She likes to hide things from us and crawls away lightning speed with it when we ask where something is. She likes to tickle necks, and she loves to laugh and giggle. She truly couldn't be any more delightful!

... still the most patient, content, and happy girl. Its been a busy month at our house (aside from the usually holiday bustle, I've also done a wedding and Phoebe has had a concussion...) and despite cutting new teeth, this girls is so calm and cool so often that I've taken her for granted. She is the sweetest spirit in our home, she adds so much to our family, and she brings us so much joy!








We love these cute girls!
