Eleven/Twelve Months

Well, at almost twelve months old Wells did not really have any interest in opening presents. She would tear some of the paper and then get distracted and crawl away. Maybe next year! She also did not really care about Santa Claus. We went to see Santa with Cousin Jack...who did not really think Santa was all that cool. We think Santa was getting a little bored too...notice the yawn.

We had fun going to Jacksonville for Christmas this year...we had not been there for Christmas in three years! Wells and Cousin Bayard had fun playing together.

Ten Months

Wells seems to be crawling faster! She can now pull up on things too...she is very proud of herself. She loves to play with her friends: Jack, Brady, Lane, Hicks, Carlisle and Cousin Jack.
She now imitates us too. We will make a sound and she will copy. Another fun game is peek-a-boo and sharing. Though, after she gives you a toy she wants is right back...we try to explain to her that she is being an 'Indian giver' but she doesn't listen.

Nine Months

We are crawling. She is finally SO excited to be going somewhere. She sees things and she goes straight for them...it gets exhausting though!

Eight Months Old

Well, we are already eight months old! We are still just sitting up and rocking back and forth..maybe thinking about crawling but prob not. She gets frustrated when something or someone(Maddie) is just out of reach. She kind of scoots backward and to the side but not forward...not sure how she thinks this will help!

We still like to grab, though maybe a little harder now. She will grab your skin or hair and just pull as hard as she can. Does not understand letting go at all...! She actually will get mad now when we take toys etc away from her. I guess that old personality is starting to appear...watch out!

We took a trip out to Colorado recently for a wedding, and I must say the airplane rides are not quite as pleasant as they used to be...she just moves and wiggles a lot more. The constant grabbing at things is tough when there are people sitting next to you....!

Things we like to do:
eat baby food
read(or chew) books
play with cousins and friend Lane
drink from a sippie cup(with mom's help)

Six Months Old

At six months old we are a lot busier...! We can sit up, roll over, and put everything in our mouth (even our toes)...but no teeth yet.

Bath time is still fun...and so is hanging out with Dad.

Life with my sister

Wells loves to touch and grab EVERYTHING now...Luckily, Maddie is a very laid-back dog and does not mind the constant grabbing. We actually think she likes the attention since she has been lacking in that area for quite some time now!
