Aiza is 11 Months and 6 Days Now

And so begins my month of mourning. ;) How is my baby so big?? Already?? Aiza is just such a sweetheart. She's SO funny - this month, if it was possible, she got even LOUDER, even sillier and even more weird. ;) I'm not sure what's in the water in this house, but we grow them big, loud and crazy over here!

She is eating everything, all the time, always and forever amen. That kid can put away food. Needless to say, mealtimes are Aiza's favorite time of the day. She's still nursing four times a day and eating three good meals and at least two snacks now. She loves bananas, sweet potatoes, chicken nuggets and he mostly loves squeeze packs more than almost anything in the world. ;) She's learned how to drink out of a straw this month and now, the child has discovered sweet iced tea. Sweet tea brings the biggest smile to her face ever! Ha!

She's fast. She has absolutely zero interest in walking but she can zip around here crazy fast! My wife and I have to run to catch up with her! She's also started climbing. If she can get that knee up on it, she's up there. The stairs, the bunk bed, Nathan's chair... you name it, she's climbing it.

She loves anything that has to do with her mother. Anything. Anything. This has been the source of a lot of joy, fun, frustration and chaos in our house this month since Aiza can now pretty much get anywhere she wants to get.

Aiza loves, loves when she and my wife are playing together.

Aiza can say Mama, Dada,  and "Papapa". She says the same word every time when she sees Kody but it doesn't sound anything like Kody. Ha! she’s very good at asking for more and waves her hands like crazy when she's all done eating (or starts throwing food. But you know, whatever gets the message across). She loves cates the most, and with out being afraid she get over the cate. Thanks to Cats, that they don’t respond to her.

She's also this month developed a little bit of a temper.... oy. Not ready for these days already! If she doesn't want to do something and you are holding her, he'll go all boneless to try and slide out of your hands. If you aren't holding her, she's now laid down on the floor and started throwing a big fit several times. At this point, it's more amusing than anything and if I just walk away and ignore her, She snaps right out of it. But oh goodness. I'm eating all the chocolate I can right now just to stockpile emotionally for what is coming. ;)

Aiza is goofy, silly, quite the dancer, loves to make music, loves to snuggle (LOVES to snuggle!), is the best at destroying at room in .006 seconds, has the sweetest hugs, the bestest cheeks for kissing, loves to be tickled, loves to be kissed and is still 100% okay with being held all day long. ;) Se's the absolute perfect little daughter of us, and is so precious to us that we don't even have the words. We are so blessed by her!


Happy 11 months, my sweet Daughter!!
