Eleven months old

Yesterday, Grace turned eleven months old. She is just shy of twenty pounds (the formula is really working now!) and she is taller than the weeds in the backyard :) Her eyes appear brown with a slight green fleck. Her hair is strawberry blonde with no curls in sight but is now long enough to put up in a hair pretty.

It is suddenly an incredibly fast pace that she is changing. Things that worked as part of our routine are no longer applicable. It is a reality that we soon will have a toddler on our hands. OF COURSE, Grace is still very much her happy, social and fun little self but many new traits are appearing, mainly stubbornness. Things like pulling out hair pretties no matter how much hair goes along with them. Pulling on her bib until she is red in the face and the back of her neck! After the bib is off she attempts the shirt too - and location does not matter as we found out in the middle of Swiss Chalet last night. And everything that Grace does not want near her goes over the side of her high chair, car seat and of course stroller. It is a good thing I have quick hands from my years as a soccer goalie!
