11 months
This month has been fun, she wants to push everything. Pushing the diaper box around the living room, or her big girl potty that sits un-used in the bathroom. It makes a funny noise when the rubber on the bottom scraps the floor so we say "push push push!" and she will push it all over. Walking with 'assistance' and on August 3rd she said "uh oh!" when she dropped her sippy cup. I believe she actually said the word "baby" a few days ago but past that one day she hasn't said it sense, and "uh oh!" came out with gusto and was easily repeated.
Today we went to see our financial advisor (aka how to afford college for BG one day) and the secretary watched her while we spoke with our advisor. Never a cry or a whine escaped her lips. The women watching commented "she loves music, I mean LOVES" which of course we already knew, and as I spied on her she was rocking her music and swaying. She was having a blast. This helped ease my apprehension about daycare. She's a social girl and is happy if there is lots going on. She's taken a few "steps" on her own, and loves to jabber in her own secret language. She giggles insanely at puppies and babies and loves to watch our dogs pick up the food she drops.
She is my constant inspiration.

I cannot believe she is almost a year old! I have enjoyed reading your blog and watching BG grow through the pics and stories you post! She is adorable!

The time is flying isn't it?
She will be fine in daycare. I'm sure you will find (or already did) a place that you trust and she will learn so much. It will be a positive experience for you both.
My 13 year old now volunteers at the daycare she went to as a toddler. They love her and take pride in the fact that they had a hand in her formative years.

I can not believe it has been almost a year! She grows more beautiful day by day, and I can see how she inspires you :) Thanks for sharing your family with us!

She's getting too adorable!
I let my son play with one of my tape measures and he yanked the entire thing out. Now it won't retract. I learned my lesson! LOL

What a sweet little girl and she looks so cute in her knitted top. They grow up so fast, my baby girls are now 23 and 26 so make everyday a memory!

I love reading your monthly updates on BG. My daughter is just one month younger so I like to see what's ahead for her. Uh-oh was her first word too! I think you're right that your BG will like daycare. My BG has been in daycare since 12 weeks. She is very active and social like your little girl, and she thrives on all the activity and stimulation at "school". She can hardly wait to get down and play with the other babies and toys when I drop her off in the mornings. You will miss BG like crazy at first, but she will be having a great time!
