Mondays with Maelie: 11 Months Old!

Maelie is going to be 11 months old on Thursday! All last week I kept thinking about what I looked and felt like last year at this time. I was huge and definitely ready to have a baby, as I finished my last week of teaching first graders (such a good work out)!

Here are some stats for our almost-one-year-old Maelie:

-estimated weight= 22 lbs
-estimated height= 29.5 in.
-estimated head size= HUGE
-scoots around everywhere
-eats anything in her sight (even if it isn't edible)
-loves her Aunt Pyper--a lot (and the other aunts, she just favors Pyper)
-loves to stand and walk along furniture
-still hates wearing socks and shoes
-sometimes gives, very open mouth, slobbery kisses
-waves to everything
-knows what a dog says (most of the time)
-has 4 teeth (three on bottom, one on top)
-eating more and more big kid food and loving it
-still naps twice a day and every once in awhile we get three in
-sleeps 11-12 hours a night
-has stranger danger mostly when she's sleepy
-met Santa for the first time and didn't even cry (probably because he didn't hold her)
-loves her stuffed lamb and puppy and of course her fuzzy blankets to sleep with
-still doesn't like to have her feet covered in bed, the blankets get kicked off almost immediately
-loves to point at all things

-started dancing last week (so much cuteness!)
-and much more!

We love our little girl and and cannot believe she's almost a year old!

Birthday!
