11 months old

My sweet ice princess is 11 months today. Only one more short month until she is a year old!!!! Sigh, double sigh!!! I hate how fast the baby year goes. She is still so long. All of her pants in size 6-12 months are waaaay too short (seriously come down under her knees) but if I go up a size they fall around her ankles because she is so skinny!! Her hair is really starting to curl in the back. She definitely has the most hair of any of my kids at this same age. She has been working and working on getting her molars and her incisors but all we have gotten so far is drool. No new teeth yet but Look at this awesome smile!!!!!

BUT this month, Miss Hadleigh-boo has grown in leaps and bounds. She has started to mimic and will now clap her hands upon request and fake cough. Here she is in mid-clap.

She is trying soooooooooooooo hard to properly crawl but she just doesn't have it. She still does the pull and drag but she is very fast at it!!! AND in even bigger news, she has been spotted trying to pull herself into a stand. She can't hold the stand without help but again, she has grown so much this past month. Her PT/OT eval is tomorrow and I'll let you know how it goes. Here she is trying to crawl to me....

My girl loves her thumb. We had to take a break from the photo shoot so that she could get some thumb time.

The teachers at the daycare have nicknamed her "Little Rock." When you compare her smile to Rocco's smile at 11 months, you can see where the nickname comes from.....

(Of course, he was about 5-7 pounds heavier at this age than H but you definitely see the resemblence.)

But when she has on her serious face, I think she looks like her sister....

Bryan said the other day that Hadleigh is the perfect combination of Jillian and Rocco and I have to agree!!

Hadleigh's next stop - 1 year old club!!!
