anaïs turned 11 months yesterday, and i cannot repeat this enough : the time passes by so quickly, so be greedy and keep them all to yourself as much as possible. every waking moment for me is like heaven with my little one. i am both happy and sad that she is slowly, yet surely, becoming more and more self sufficient each day :*)

to celebrate her eleven months, she got a bunch of new toys to play with, including a fisher-price"computer". this thing is amazing.



we also went to lake dallas, which is HUGE. a great time was had, and she played on the slide and rode the swings!!!

today we took a trip out to downtown plano to see it. we stopped by a triumph dwalership, because the hubby is looking to invest in a new toy, hehe. lots of pretty machines, purr. the actual downtown is small and charming, but nothing like mckinney, although, downtown plano has a superior doll store :3





and finally...delicious fruit!

nini had hew first taste of whole milk today in the form of cream of wheat. wasn't too fond of it. i made a homemade pizza [and i mean the homemade part -- all but the cheese was prepared from scratch]. it is very healthy and delicious with whole wheat dough and veggies! anaïs LOVED it. <3 my pretty girl. she was very hissy fittish today! she threw some tantrums here and there! she's been climbing the stairs a lot. she loves it <3 giggling the whole way up.

she has started waving for hello and goodbye, and even calls me over with a little wave. it's very precious. and now she "reads" all by herself <3 i love this little brussels sprout<3

tomorrow she turns eleven months old. my...how the time passes ;_; i feel something positive in the air...maybe she'll walk :D she's been trying all day!

i'm a bit behind on my posts, so i have a bit of catching up to do!

for starters, i have been keeping up with my fertility charting pretty well. i have two more cycles of tracking before i start planning furthermore!

anaïs has been eating better. as a matter of fact, she had a ton of baked christmas ham on sunday for dinner with the rest of the family. she kept raking it into her little chompers, so i kept feeding her! she seems to love pork o_O pork, pasta, cheese, and bread!

as far as the sleeping, she got over her crib strike finally and sleeps all her naps in there! yay! mommy time!

today was a very active day for her. she crawled ALL OVER, and would throw a fit if you moved her from her trailed destination, lol. of course, this would be when she'd try to yank a cord here, or grab a dirty shoe there, you know, liable reasons. oh, she almost fell into her bath tub today. she would have flipped over had we not been careful. it would have been pretty crazy, so thank goodness nothing occurred.

i miss the hubs. he's been on the road all day. i can't wait to give hima big warm squeeze tonight <3
