Carly is 11 months old today!
 |
| We had to put her in the high chair so she didn't crawl away while taking pictures. |

| Our giggly little 11 month old who LOVES her daddy. |
Changes in Appearance: Carly's hair is longer. She has slimmed down a bit from all of the crawling she does. She now has 6 teeth! She has her two front on top and on bottom. She just cut two more on the left top. Poor girl. Her eyes are still BLUE. :) Makes me a happy mommy.

| Love this smile with no teeth. |
Activities and experiences: Carly got to go and play with her cousins Olivia and Katelyn yesterday. We are still working on the "playing" part. haha. Carly loves to touch Katelyn and sometimes it is her face. Olivia likes to sit on Carly while she is trying to crawl. :)
Carly has done so much better at church. Today she was so good for the first two hours and then last hour, during Relief Society, she decided we were done. We were in the hall the rest of church. That's okay. She is getting better at sitting during church. Three hours is just a long time for a little one. We were very proud of her today.
Favorites: Carly loves any kind of electronic: phone, remote, laptop. She is so silly about it all.
She also loves it when Jeremy and I pay attention to her. In the morning, if we are both playing with her on the floor she is the happiest baby. She goes from one parent to the other and keeps doing this. It is so funny to watch. Carly loves crossing her feet like she is in the picture above. She does this all the time. Carly loves to turn the pages of books. We aren't quite reading all of the book right now. I get to read about three pages and then she is done and just wants to keep turning pages.
Carly loves to crawl into the kitchen and eat the food that she threw on the floor from the earlier meal when she was in her high chair. Jeremy asked if she does it when she gets hungry knowing she left herself a little snack haha. Who knows! But I am trying to sweep after every meal.
Carly loves to shake her head back and forth to me. She just started it the other day. It is so cute. She will smile at me and move it side to side with a huge smile on her face. Then I do it to her and she will do it back. so cute.
Carly loves to crawl everywhere! She is constantly on the GO. Moving from one toy or newspaper or remote to the next thing she finds. She love finding the plastic from the newspaper, any little piece of thread that might be on the floor, and any type of shoe.

| We attempted to take pictures on the floor. FAIL. She is always on the go and does not like to sit still. I tried giving her my phone to keep her still. Didn't work. |
Sleeping: Carly takes a bath about 6:30-7p.m. and then goes to bed after we have our nightly routine of story, scripture, and prayer. We try and fold her arms while we pray. She is not a fan of that.
Carly has been waking up anytime between 7 and 8:30a.m. I get up with her and we eat breakfast and then she will play for a few hours and take a morning nap at about 11. She goes down again for a nap at about 2:30p.m. Then sleeps until 4:30ish and is up until she goes to bed again at 7. She has been such a good napper lately which makes it so nice!
This past week was a little rough at night because she is teething and she would wake up crying. :( I wouldn't get her out because if I do it one night she will continue to want to get up every night. She did this a few nights, but now she sleeps through the night without waking up.
Eating: Carly eats the gerber oatmeal for breakfast and usually eats quite a bit. She eats whatever Jeremy and I eat for lunch and dinner. We still give her baby food here and there because she doesn't quite chew everything yet. Most of her food ends up on the floor. She loves bread, string cheese, veggie straws, avocado, yogurt, bananas, frozen peas, rice, chicken, french fries, the outside of a corn dog. We got her some 'fruitables' box juices because she loves drinking from a straw. She loves them. I still pump so she can take one bottle before she goes to bed at night.
