Saying Goodbye

I can't believe it's finally here. Our moving date has arrived! As the boxes are filling up and this house is emptying out, it's a bittersweet feeling. We're going to miss the people we've met here and all of the memories we've made at this house, but I know there are great times ahead in Indiana!

You were born our little Scarlet Carnation (Ohio's state flower) and came home from the hospital to this house. This is where you shared your first smile, said your first words, laughed, rolled over, sat up on your own, ate solid foods, and crawled for the first time.

So many baby milestones in a house you will only remember from pictures and stories. So long Delaware, Ohio home, thanks for the memories!

One Month to Go!

Today you are eleven-months-old! You have seven teeth: four on top and three on the bottom. 

You are really getting the hang of crawling and love moving from one thing to the next just because you can. :) 

You are extremely curious and get into all kinds of things now that you're mobile...like this picnic lunch! You love cheddar cheese, bread, and strawberries.

You sing and babble like crazy, from the moment you wake up until you lay down in bed. I wish I knew what you were saying! And you laugh, a LOT. You are one of the happiest babies ever (according to EVERYONE you meet)!

You love anything cuddly and you have the most adorable laugh when I make animal noises. You are also very ticklish. I can't wait to see how you react to your birthday cake and us singing happy birthday next month!

You're Mobile!

You've been scooting and rolling around for almost two months now, but this weekend you've finally mastered crawling! Daddy witnessed you're first crawling attempt in the basement on Friday, you took about four "steps" with your hands and knees before stretching out on your belly to reach for a balloon.

You were practicing all weekend while we were on our house-hunting trip in South Bend. I've been trying to catch you crawling with my camera, but to no avail. Tonight, Daddy captured you on video. Look at you! You're a pro already!
