These are a few of our favorite things...at 11 months (revised)

Berkeley and Zoey - 11 Months

OK after thinking about what a terrible job I am doing at keeping up with the girls baby books and rereading what I wrote I realized I needed to be more detailed with our favorite things at this age to help me remember. Already I am forgetting when they started liking their baths or who smiled first, etc. So as of now these are things that girls are really enjoying......

Elmo, Chicka from the Sunny Side up Show on Sprout, Yo Gabba Gabba, PUPPETS, Singing The Itsy Bitsy Spider, Pat-a-Cake, and Old MacDonald, Baby Einstein videos, clapping, crawling everywhere, our beds, bouncing backwards in their bouncy seat, eating (Berkeley), swinging, OUTSIDE, going on car rides, taking baths, taking walks (when it isn't way too hot), "talking", bottles (Zoey), standing in our cribs and talking to each other, bananas, and pulling up on the couch and gates.

And of course if we talk about what our favorite things we have to talk about the things we don't like...... sleeping in a Pack-n- play (makes traveling tough), napping (sometimes), having our diaper changed (would rather be crawling), getting dressed, bows in our hair(what little hair we have), letting someone else hold us if our mommy is around, and getting our faced washed.

Yes my baby girls are 11 months!!! I told myself I was going to savor every moment since they would be our last and somehow I don't know where this time has gone and don't feel like I was successful because most days are just getting through the day. They seem so big and are starting to be so much fun. They are understanding what we are saying and even talking. Each say about 4 words and even do a few signs. Berkeley is our "doer" and Zoey is our "observer" She seems to really watch what Berkeley does and then waits a few weeks and then starts doing it. Both girls are crawling. Berkeley on her hands and knees and Zoey army crawls (just like Hunter did) Berkeley is the ONLY one out of the four kids who from the get go will eat anything you put in front of her. Zoey is just like her two older brothers, she must touch it with her finger or her lips and THEN decides if she will eat it by opening her mouth or shaking her head no and waving her hand. Can be very frustrating. Here are a few of our favorite things right now.......

Zoey LOVES to escape by pushing the gate from behind the couch. Our house is SOOO not ready for babies to be everywhere.

We LOVE to splash in our baby pool.

Berkeley LOVES to sit and look at books. Zoey just chews on them :o)

The girls LOVE puppets and especially when their brothers do puppet shows for them.

Berkeley LOVES to give kisses and especially to her sister. She does this all the time without being asked.

The girls are both loving going to the pool. Thankfully the pools are very warm because of this heat so we don't have to worry about the cold water. Mom likes it too!

Both girls LOVE to take whatever their sister has even if they already have the same thing!
