Melynn is 11mths!

Well folks our baby girl just turned 11mths old on January 19th! I'm still surprised, shocked, & in disbelief that this year has flown by so quick...February 19th will be here before we know it & again I will share the same shock, disbelief, & surprise that I'm feeling right now probably along with some tears. Enough about me....

Melynn is weighing in at 20lbs 3 ozs & measuring 26inches & change. She is still eating a little baby food but more so focused on table food and loving every minute of it! She's drinking milk, water, & some formula still, but for the most part doing very well with her sippy cup. She loves her puffs, crackers, nilla wafers, yogurt snacks....there isn't too much she doesn't like right now. She's having some stomach issues but we're assuming its all diet related & the fact she's very regular anyway....ask the daycare ladies they are very well acquainted with it. Soooo embarrasing.

She is walking for the most part. Just tonight she was taking at least 4-5 steps before deciding to crawl. It's more so when she forgets what she's doing that it happens. We are very proud & her Daddy is hoping, wishing, trying to push her to be completely walking by her birthday. We'll see. We've come to the conclusion Miss Melynn does thing when SHE wants to. ( which is just fine with me)

Mississippi Visit

We went to MS over the Martin Luther King holiday weekend to visit Andys family that we hadn't seen since last May when Melynn was 3mths old! Needless to say they were very happy to see her & amazed at how much she had grown. Melynn did very well for the most part she slept most of the way down there & got her second wind @ 1230am & decided she would hang out for a while like 330am in the morning... yuck. We went over to Aunt Becky's for dinner on Saturday & Melynn played well with her cousin Gracyn. They shared puffs & baby goldfish & chairs too!

Just Hangin Out

This is Melynn's Babo Bird that I thought she had to have... she seems to like it.

Giving Babo loves & hugs

She started doing this thing in the bathtub where she would lay down like a little frog. Scared me at first!

Here she & Daddy are at a standoff bc she has his phone. She tries to text message. A girl after my heart! I'm so proud!

She points alot lately too now which is very cute. I'm sure she's just asking what things are....

I tried very hard to get both of them to look at me & get her to smile & have his eyes open.... you see how well that worked....very well.

She got a mailbox from Christmas & absolutely loves opening & closing the door & finding her mail inside. I have to admit I enjoy it too....and love the little sing-songy tunes that play.

This is her music table that Pawpaw & Memaw got her... she loves it. I love it.....yeah I admit it I like it too.

Look at those teeth! 2 down.....alot more to go! Her 2 top teeth are coming down just haven't broken through yet.

Melynn's 10mths

Well its a little late but Miss Melynn turned 10mths on December 19th. And yes I'm a little late on posting or....maybe I'm almost a month late posting...regardless here we go!

Around this time she was weighing in @ 19lbs & to be honest I haven't measured her but she's getting big! Shes eating more table food & loves it. I have made it difficult for us by starting her out like that but hey gotta start sometime right? She's also standing up all by herself! Its so random she'll just stand up in the middle of the floor & look at you & smile like she's just done the coolest thing ever....which it is & we congratulate her with alot of clapping. She'll side step along the couch & coffee table but not to much step taking on her own. More like a few steps & she face plants on the floor & expects you to catch her. We do most of the time... She still amazes me at what she can accomplish & discover....things are so much different through her eyes. You get to discover them again as well...like for example another room she hadn't quite found yet or a new toy....she's pointing alot now as well. So we get to tell her what everything is & you question how to tell her....do you say a "spoon" .....a "pink spoon"....a "plastic pink spoon" We'll figure it out. Thats the fun part.

Christmas at Nanna's

The day after Christmas we went down to see Nanna & Cissy & the rest of the gang. We had a great visit & everyone enjoyed seeing Miss Melynn & how much she's grown....which is alot. Melynn did really well traveling aside from the fact that I left my rings & watch at Nanna's & had to go back up the mountain to meet Uncle Jimmy to get them...but yeah other than that she traveled well & quite frankly was done by the time we got home. We all were.... enjoy our pics..
