11 Months Old

Are we really only 1 month away from ONE YEAR?!?!? Let the party planning begin! Luke and Madison turned 11 months old on Tuesday the 30th. They are battling colds right now and I feel like we are going through a box of Kleenex a day. Hopefully they will be better by this weekend for Easter.

To recap this month, here are some thing that they are doing now...

*Madison took her first steps this past week!

*She is moving from object to object in the house.

*She has been strong since she was born! I had to put baskets and the play pen around the den so they do not sneak away and Madison has learned how to push them out of her way!! Amazing!

*She has 2 bottom teeth.

*Luke has some top teeth poking through.

*He loves to clap now! It is so cute to watch him!

*He likes to do "All done" in sign language at the table.

*He is starting to get shy around new people. He will tuck his little head into our shoulder.

*He loves to point at books with his little finger.

*They both love to play chase when we are crawling on the floor.

*They love to play peek-a-boo!

*They love to read books.

*They are interacting more and more with each other. It is funny to watch how they will follow each other around in the den and play. If one goes over to the book basket, the other will shortly follow. Jonathan said the other night Madison got tickled at Luke because he was playing with her. It it so sweet and priceless!

*They are enjoying being outside more and more with this beautiful weather!

Here are some pictures...

If you could only see the video of this. Madison loves to push Luke around! You should see how fast she gets going!!!

Luke took a break to read Little Jesus, Little Me...one of his favorites!

I am loving the fact that Madison is a Daddy's girl through and through!! This is her "I don't feel good" face :( She just wanted to cuddle with Daddy!

So back to the wagon (she doesn't slow down for long)! She was trying to push Luke one morning but she kept slipping on her pj's. I tied them up for her so she could get around. Luke is just along for the ride.

My turn! Madison got a chance to sit while Luke pushed. He was so proud!

I love this picture!

It was nice and warm one day so we opened the doors in the sunroom and I hooked their jump jumps to the door frame. They loved jumping together. It's a little dark but Madison's mouth is wide open :O

Luke loves to give good wet kisses these days! We love to get them from this sweet boy!

Madison is laughing more and more and her laugh is so funny! She brightens our day!

Oh Windex...why do I even clean these doors? I love to see their little handprints!

Can you guess what cabinet we got into??

And I literally meant INTO! Do you see how she is standing on one to get just a little higher?

Just one more back there....reeeaaacccchhh.

Yep...I caught you! That was great entertainment for about 30 minutes, then they moved on.

Happy 11 months Luke and Madison!

We can't wait to celebrate your first year of life on April 30th!
