Happy 11 Months!

How delighted was this mom when I noticed the leaves all around us were finally starting to look as though fall is upon us! I love to see babies, when they are being held, clinging to the arms of those holding them. It's such a cute detail that I miss as they get older and start flapping their arms around.

As Winnie turns 11 whole months today, I am reminded by these pictures how much she is changing. The constant hand in her mouth lets me know that her top teeth are just around the corner. You know what that means! Top teeth + bottom teeth= no longer a tiny baby!.....and of course some screams emitting from my mouth. Watch out, our baby bites! Well, she bites me at least. Trying to find a solution to this problem, other than waiting it out.  I don't think either of the older two bit as hard a Winnie has, or as often. Regardless, she is adorable, and we will keep her!

Piper wearing two different colored flip flops, hey I'm just glad she is wearing shoes! Most of the time she is running around barefoot, always forgetting her shoes.

Charly ran from me yesterday, sometimes she is totally fine with me chasing her with the camera but yesterday she had other plans.  At least this cat's "bole" can't run. How cute is this! I love it when I come upon words Charly has written that are spelled wrong but totally make sense. Most of the time she'll ask me how to spell and I will tell her, but I also encourage her to try and sound things out and figure it out on her own...even if she misspells a few. Here is just one example. I love it!
