Look Who's 11 Months Old!

I can't believe Annemarie is 11 month old today!!!!! It is sad and exciting to think that next month at this time she will one year old. My my my..... We have had some ups and downs over the past several months. She was throwing the worst temper tantrums ever for about 3 weeks. That has sort of subsided and she is doing a little better. She went from taking 2 naps a day (each one was about 45 minutes) and this week she is now taking one very long nap. It is about 2-2.5 hours long. I really hope she keeps the one nap schedule for good. She is in a pretty good mood when she wakes up and it is so much easier to plan outings around one nap versus two naps. She can now stand, unsupported, for several minutes at a time. I think she wants to walk, but does not quite know how to do it. Chad is going to work on getting her to walk this weekend. She talks (okay...babbles) non-stop. It is like she is chatting it up with some imaginary friends or something. It is very cute and I just like to watch her while she does it. Gigi let us borrow one of those crawling tubes and she LOVES it. She thinks it is so funny to crawl as fast as she can from one end to the other. She really is so much fun to play with and I love listening to her laugh. It is like music to my ears.
