Fallyn // 11 Months

Fallyn, you turned Eleven months on March 27th. One more month and you will be ONE! I cannot believe it. You are still so cuddly and you LOVE your blanky. Your nap time is around the time we get to church and you are so sleepy. You will just lay your head on my shoulder with your blanket and lay like that almost the entire time during worship. I love how calm and peaceful you are when we get into church. It's like you feel His precense as well.

You are into EVERYTHING. And when we come after you if you are into something, you take off crawling into fast speed ahead! On March 27th, you said "mama" over and over again (I think this started a week before then officially). The other day when I picked you up from Gamma and Pas, when I walked in the door, you got SO excited and basically jumped onto the floor and crawled so fast to get to me. It just about made me a puddle in the floor.

You love to check on the baby chicks but they have started to fly and that scares you a bit sometimes. Your teething has really been bothering you at times and some mornings you fuss and fuss as soon as you get up. You are a great sleeper and napper for the most part, but there have been some here and there that you do not want to lay down for and some nights where you have started waking up again. 

Everyday, more and more, you and Finley have the sweetest connections with each other. I pray y'all are so close as you get older. When y'all get to each other first thing in the mornings, you get so excite and y'all both laugh and smile and hug and kiss all over each other.

You love just about all foods except for bananas. You just are not a fan. You eat sweet potatoes, apples, peaches, blueberries, pancakes, muffins, green beans, other greens, Mac and cheese, peppers, eggs, yogurt, you even had your first sugar cookie and Mimi and Big Pops when Hadlee and Fin baked their cookies, hamburger, spaghetti, tacos.. you name it and you will eat it.

You are still crawling and pulling up on all things.. I'm so surprised you haven't taken off yet on your own. You have your own toy basket in the living room and you love to get your toys out and play with them and sometimes you put them back int he basket. When you get into the kitchen you love playing the "drums" with the dog bowls and also banging on their tin food holder and making all kinds of noise. 

You can throw a real hissy fit when we change your diaper or your clothes. You are NOT interested.

As soon as I turn the water on in the bathtub, you stand up on the sides just a talking and slapping the tile until I put you in there.. You LOVE LOVE bath time! You get in there and love to run your hands thru the water falling out of the faucet and roll around and splash. I am so looking forward to seeing you in a pool!

I will have to say that you have your seldom moments of being still but the rest of the time.. you are on the G-O! It is SO hard getting pictures these days because you are just wanting to do your own thing.

We all love your big personality Fallyn!

Good morning and all smiles and happy!

You get into Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Sesame Street just as much as Fin does!

We all went to Briggs birthday party and you slept the entire time. I'm kind of glad that you did because it was outside and it was freezing. 

After the party we went and had lunch at Gringos again. It was delish!

I think the camera was confusing you.. you would look into the camera and then look up at me. Ha!

When we got home that afternoon it was sunny and warm so we went outside for the afternoon. It was so nice!!

Trying to get Mommy while I make breakfast.

I love all your hair here!

At Big Pops and Mimi's hanging out while Fin Fin and Hadlee baked. We even got nap time snuggles in while they finished.

First sugar cookie!

And your twin. Ha! You definitley got the Brookshire genes thats for sure.

Checking on the baby chicks!

And night time snuggles. I'm so going to miss these days....

Fallyn, what would we do without you? You bring us so much joy and smiles and we are so blessed by you! We thank God for trusting us with you and Finley both.. 

We love you so much!

Fallyn // Week 47

Little Stinker! You had your first St Patricks Day! 

I cannot believe we are pretty much through all of your "firsts". I never would have imagined it would have gone by this quickly. 

(I'm catching up on posts again and we are planning your FIRST birthday party! Whaaa???)

These pictures make you look so much bigger than what you are. You look like such a big girl here but you are tiny!

Swinging and watching Daddy cut down this thorn bush that was down the driveway. Love love this picture of the 3 of us!

I love how Finley wants to go get you in the mornings and she's so happy to see you! When you get up first and we go get Finley, you make all these happy noises and faces, start laughing, and y'all hug each other with excitement. Its the sweetest!

I love how you do your little hand when you are saying "bye". Mommy was headed to the gym and I'm just going to be real honest.. I wanted that time to work out but after watching you here, I did NOT want to leave you!

This is your new face you LOVE to make! Cracks me up!!

You absolutely LOVE this blanket... and La La made you a back up too.

 Whew! So thankful for that!

There's that face again!

Coloring with Fin Fin's crayons. 

After bath time one evening. Look at all those curls! You have WAY more hair than Finley ever dreamed about having.. I serisouly can't believe all your hair and I LOVE it. You do have a bit of cradle cap still that I've been treating with Rejuvenqe Oil.

You girls had your Easter pictures made with the baby chicks.

Y'all did SO good!

You were just a little unsure!

And, afterwards, we all went to eat with Big Pop and Mimi at Gringos. You did so good sitting there eating your food and just hanging out.. AND Stephany gave you your first lemon and your reaction was quite hilarious!

Flips and waves on the top!

I guess Mommy didn't take much pictures this particular week. I looked on my Nikon camera card and thru dropbox and this really was all that was there except for Finley taking pictures of herself and you at Carters when we stopped by there one afternoon to look for Easter dresses. It was FREEZING and extremely windy that day.. we even braved Best Buy to exchange my laptop case that was too small. Y'all did so well and of course napped in the car FOREVER so Mommy was able to work from her phone a little bit. We made it back home with the quickness because it was quite chilly.

Fallyn // Week 46

Cutie patooties before Mommy goes into work! 

Finley and her sock puppets. Ha!

Trying to get a close up of that one tooth!

Playing around getting some pictures! Looking back at these photos its been really hard lately getting her to smile for her milestone pictures. Poor baby girls teething has not been good to her!

Sissy you look so big here!

Ha! Love this facial expression!

Sunday March 11th for Baby Dedication. It is your nap time right when we leave for church and you usually don't fall asleep until we get into worship.

Sweet baby! You fell asleep while we were worshiping and slept thru the whole entire dedication!

We had lunch after church. That was some of the best spaghetti I have had!

La La gave this to y'all and y'all absolutely love it!

You are not afraid to get into anything! 

Love our morning snuggles!

Getting ready for our baby chicks!

Ha! Miss Personality . You keep us in stitches!

One of the few times you have held your bottle. You are 11 months and rarely ever hold it yourself. We are trying to get you to transition to your tippy cup more and you are doing great with it!

Checking on the baby chicks. You love to watch them!
