I missed it again!

Yet again, I forgot to take pictures on one of Loralye's month markers. She turned 11 months old on Wednesday and I had issues all day that day. For starters we were running late in the morning so I couldn't take pictures before work. Then, because we ran late, I forgot to grab the camera to take pictures at work. After work we didn't go home, but went straight to Target and the outlet mall to do some Christmas shopping and by the time I got home I was too tired to think about much other than going to bed as early as possible. So this is what I have instead:11 Month Old Stats: She's just over 23 1/2 pounds and her height will have to wait until her year check up at the doctor because she is too squirmy for me to try to measure her. She crawls all over the place and can pull herself up to stand, but has only done so a couple of times. She is quite the chatter box too. She speaks mostly baby nonsense, but she does use several words correctly: mama, dada, baby, hi, and yay. Yum went completely out the window for some reason. She also started saying papa yesterday, but won't say it today. I'm just hoping she has it down by the time she sees her papa again on Christmas day!

And this is a goofy half-blinking picture, but it does show off one of her new molars rather well! She has her 8 front teeth (4 on top and 4 on bottom), the molar pictured here on the bottom, and one more molar on the top that she won't let me photograph. 10 teeth!! Crazy!

Christmas is almost here (YAY!) and we still have a boat load of things to do before then (BOO!). I hope you are all more prepared than we are. If not, I wish you luck. I know I'm gonna need it too.
