11 Months

- Pulling up on everything
- Getting into everything
- Cruising a little (no more than 4 steps)
- Grins when you tell him no and continues to do whatever he was doing, but with more force

- Says "mama," "dada," and "uh oh"
- blows raspberries constantly

- still has only six teeth, but will eat anything
- gets 3 bottles and nurses once a day but is much more interested in real food
- naps twice for about an hour each
- consistently sleeps from 8pm - 7:00/7:30am without waking (finally!!)

- loves the book "Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb" or any book with a beat
- rubs his favorite white blanket on his face every time he goes to sleep
- likes the paci but doesn't love it like his sister and does not suck fingers or thumb
- loves to play outside and cries when we walk out briefly but don't stay to play

- seems to be a Mama's boy, but his Daddy still makes him laugh the hardest
- adores his siblings when they aren't pushing him away
- has a bit of a temper when aforementioned siblings push him away from where they are playing
- such a joy and a blessing

Jack is our inquisitive firstborn. At five years old, he’s extremely interested in how things work and will ask a ton of questions until he gets a satisfactory answer. He's an active kid who enjoys running, jumping, and playing outside. However, give him a video game and he would sit and play all day if we let him. Lover of anything "Buzz" these days, he's definitely all boy. But don't let him fool you, he still has fun playing princesses with his sister! He is a great helper and loving big brother and his deep dimples melt our hearts every time he smiles.

Anna is our spunky three year old. She wants to do everything her big brother does, as long as she can do it while wearing a dress. She is Miss Independent most of the time, and certainly has her own sense of style these days. She loves being a helper around the house, and when she's in the mood, she's the best cleaner upper in the family! She enjoys reading books, singing, dancing, coloring, and playing dress up with her brothers. She will always be our baby girl, and has the biggest, sweetest blue eyes we’ve ever seen.

Sam is our stubborn number three. He's a stinker who manages get into EVERYTHING! It's hard to resist that wide smile and mischievous giggle, though, even when he's up to no good. He's a boy on the move and will do anything to keep up with his older siblings. He loves balls, trains, playing outside, and wearing everyone's shoes but his own. Some days he's still our snugly little boy, and that's quite alright with us because that boy with the toothy grin has brought an enormous amount of joy to our family!
