11 Months Old

At 11 months Brylie has 6 teeth poking through.  It is amazing to see so many little teeth when she smiles.  She really seems to have grown up so much in the last few weeks.  She is making the transition from baby to toddler, but she will always be our little baby.  It is hard to believe that next month we will be celebrating 365 blessed days of having her in this world.  She is the light of our lives and we love her so very much.

Brylie loves:
To use her pointing skills to communicate.  She points at everything!!  She uses pointing to help show us what she is wanting, liking, interested in, distracted by, and to get your attention.  It is amazing to watch her communicate and express herself with her pointing.

Brylie doesn't love:
Riding in the carseat in the middle of summer.  Recently we took a short drive to get sushi as a family.  We noticed that she was a little fussy which is a little unusual for her.  When we got the the restaurant we took her out and realized she was soaking wet from sweat.  The backseat does not provide much ventilation and she was very warm.  I felt so bad for her.  I have since attached a clip on fan which makes her much happier.

Tender moment:
Watching Brylie and Bella interact.  Brylie is becoming much more interested in Bella and can frequently be found tugging on her ears, climbing on her, feeding her food from her highchair, and searching for her when she hears her name being called.  The other day we were outside playing fetch with Bella.  For those of you who have not played this endless game with her must know that she is not very good at dropping the ball.  Once she gets a hold of the ball she puts a tight grip on it and will not let go without some prying or distracting, but when Brylie extended her little hand Bella carefully and gently placed it in Brylie's possession.  She did this again and again and waiting patiently for Brylie to drop it to her.  So cute to watch them play together.
