apple picking

We went apple picking this weekend with Nana, Steph, and L and L. Jo loved having her own apple to hold and suck on. It was so fun!

eleven months

Jo,

Eleven months! If you are not sleeping or eating you are on the go nonstop! You are so active and wiggly, and you love to explore! You generally do not like to be held unless you are tired or around strangers. And if you are being held you reach for the floor so you can be put down to play. You love love love stuffed animals! It is so adorable how much you love to snuggle them and hug them. You often fall asleep with your arm around one, and you also like to wrestle with them on the floor. You still growl all the time, and it cracks us up. You LOVE to read! Your favorite book is this one with flaps that you pull up to reveal some touch and feel things underneath. You love to turn the pages, pull up the flaps and feel all the little bumpy and fuzzy objects. You are such a daddy's girl! You sometimes cry when he leaves for work in the morning, and it breaks his heart. Your favorite foods are eggs, italian chicken, and banana pancakes. You love fruits and usually tolerate certain veggies. And you still continue to amaze us with your awesome dance moves! Haha. You have this one little move where you bounce up and down so much that you move in circles. We love you, baby girl!

Love,
Mama
