Update on Us

My baby girl is 11 months old today. Ive been planning her 1st birthday for about a month+ now. I have a lot of things done. I have to get invitations out, get her 1 year pictures done (get her a dress first...lol), and get favors together. I think I will wait till they RSVP that way I can buy specific things for specific people. There will be a wide variety of ages and I cant give a 1 yr old the same thing as a 6 1/2 yr old.

Ryleighs development is moving along nicely. Shes pulling up to standing consistantly and on EVERYTHING. We are working on getting her to put her back to the couch this week to try and get her to stand w/o holding on to anything and then to stand w/o touching anything. We are also working on her standing facing the couch and reaching to the L. and R. to get things then coming back to the center w/o falling, and reaching down to get things. That one isnt going to well. When she reaches down she flops all the way over instead of coming back up to standing.

Overall shes doing very well. We have been doing a lot of fall/halloween events lately. We went to Boo at the Zoo, and a costume party at a local soft play area. We had a great time.

Ive been working really hard on a 1 year slideshow for Ryleigh's party. Im really excited about it. I hope everyone enjoys it. I will try to make a shortened version for online viewing.

You are better than I am, I haven't even started planning. I know when I want to have it, and who I want to invite, and that's about it.....WTG on the pulling up! Savannah did it once and not since then.

Almost one year old...that was us last year! Now we're gearing up for TWO! Nadia and Ryleigh are almost exactly one year apart in age. You're doing betetr than me with planning the party...I'm not even sure yet when we're doing it! LOL!

Sounds like your girl is growing and devloping really well. I'm sure all those physical things will resolve themselves with time...but it's good you're working with her on it.

Party planning seems to be in the air this year. I have started planning Shelby's party too. I can't believe that our kids are a year old already it seems like yesterday that we were all chatting about being pregnant. Hope all is well with you and yours.
