Dear Lilah,
I can barely believe that eleven months ago this very morning you came into this world. You were so calm and alert as soon as you arrived. A little cry here and there that's all, and that's exactly how you've been every day since then. Calm, alert,.....little cries here and there.
You love to laugh and "talk". You are the fastest crawler I have ever seen. Carter is even amazed. He gets down to try to crawl with you......and can't even keep up! You are doing a bit of cruising here and there, but haven't taken any steps on your own yet. As I've said many times, I'm in no hurry for that!
Your big brother is your biggest fan, admirer, and body guard. He keeps close watch over you and lets us know when you are approaching danger of any kind. He always wants to know where you are, which is giving him quite the workout these days! You are giving me a workout too, since you seem to want to put everything you find in your mouth! There is a lot for me to keep out of your reach with Rambo running around.
Bath time is something you love! You love to smack the water and make a big splash. This makes your big brother squeal, which only makes you laugh harder. I have a feeling you are going to be giving Carter a run for his money very very soon!
I am so enjoying watching you grow and learn. Carter is determined that you learn to close your eyes and hold your hands properly when we say our prayers. You don't always like it when he closes your eyes for you. You are very patient with him while he teaches you colors, numbers, and ABC's. He is currently working on teaching you that you should always say please and thank you. It annoys him greatly when you laugh at him instead of saying the words as he has instructed you to. It really ticks him off when you shake your head violently during his teachings.
You bring such joy to our lives, Lilah. I am so grateful that God allowed me to be your Mom. I love you so much.
Love,
Mom

That sweet baby is in for the best life! What a sweet mom to take the time to write it all down for Lilah to have when she's grown! Lovely post, Deedra!
I can barely believe that she is 11 months myself! She is so beautiful!
How beautiful is your Lilah!! I love the next to last photo. Reminds me of a song my mama used to sing to me "Bye O Baby Bunting...". TOO CUTE!! Happy 11 Month Bday, Sweet Thang!!
Sweet post! Love the last picture of Carter pushing her........very soon, if he turns her over, she's gonna get out of that car and clobber him......lol
Oh she is adorable! And I can see the mischief in those eyes, I think Carter may very well be in for it. :)
You need to get a video of those teaching sessions!
She will love to read that someday. She must have the best kissing cheeks ever.
I love the letters that you write to your kids. You're such a great mom. I haven't even finished my kids' baby books! Carter is sooo sweet to Lilah! I love the smile on her face whenever she sees him. Love you guys!
Holy Cow, talk about feeling guilty- there was so much to see and read this time, it's been too long since I visited you! Your kiddos are cute as ever!!! :)
