Happy 11 Months!

Although it feels like the days are blowing right on by with the wind...{brrr...a chilly breeze at that!}...I feel like this last month was a little bit more slow-paced.  We've still been busy...but mostly just enjoying this wonderful season that I love!

And trying to hold onto the very last couple of months before this busy bee moves into her first year of life!  What?!

She has definitely found her mobility!

If I leave the room...she is usually right on my tail!  Or even if I'm sitting in the same room...this is usually my view...

{Skipper's my other baby...he's usually attached to my ankle too!}

I love these pajamas...they make her look like such a big girl to me.  ...sigh...

{and she finally almost fits into her bunny slippers from her cousin Cameron that he brought to her in the hospital when she was born!}

She is rarely still anymore...

{notice her first bruise on her noggin?  Yep...took a spill by the fireplace!}

...which means I'm constantly chasing her away from here...

...and she thinks it's fabulous!

And if I'm not chasing her away from the stairs...

...I'm trying to keep her out of something...

{That's okay...I didn't want those catalogs anyway... ha!}

{Actually...it was pretty funny...every time she would rip a page, she would go "ooooh..." like she knew it was a bad thing, but she couldn't stop herself!  It was pretty entertaining!}

I seriously can't believe we're about to end our first year of firsts...

We're looking forward to taking her out on her first Halloween! 

Alex wants to carry her up to a few doors so she can fill her honey pot up with some treats!

I think she's pretty excited too!

{I get candy?!}

I'm told by more people that she looks just like Emily...and a handful of people tell me she looks like Alex.

I think she favors both of them depending on her expressions or what she's doing at the moment!  They definitely all have the same big brown eyes...that's a big giveaway that they are all siblings!

But I thought it would be fun to share photos of Alex and Emily at this age...

{who do you think she looks like?}

Happy 11 months sweet Ellie!  It has certainly gone much too fast but we are so excited to celebrate your first birthday next month!
