11 months!

Our little Dollbuggins is 11 months old today- hard to believe it's only a month until she's one year! We have steps... not a whole lot, but she's moving, people. And she's pretty happy about it. And we have words. She's talking more than the others at this age. A couple of times over the past few days, she's said, very clearly, "I get up?" at the end of nap time. It's the sweetest. I know she gets it from her siblings, as well as many other things. And we can tell the others, "See how important it is that you be a good influence?" She also says, "All done" after just about every feeding, "Nigh' nigh'" at bedtime and a number of other dear warbles. She has her own names for her siblings, the clearest being "Ja!" for her brother. She's quick to grab our attention for a laugh or a smile and thinks peek-a-boo is THE BEST. She still likes to cuddle when cuddles are to be had. It's heart-melting when she pats our backs during hugs and "sings" along when she hears singing.

We love you, dear little one! You are as sweet as you can be, and we are so blessed by your playful, gentle, and easy-going spirit. Peek-a-boo!
