You turned 11 months old on Wednesday! Look how much you've grown:
I can't believe we only have one month until you're a year old! Time has flown by, and I'd do just about anything to slow it down. But every day you learn something new, and this is a really fun age!
You continue to be one of the most curious babies I've ever seen. You are constantly watching everything, and you don't seem to miss a thing. This makes it hard for us to stay a step ahead of you! When we go out to eat, you love to sit in a high chair and people-watch. I tell you it's rude to stare, but that doesn't stop you at all!
I say this every month, but you constantly make us laugh. You dance around, make silly faces, silly noises, and just love to make everyone smile with you. You love to sing! I've been singing The Raindrops Song to you a lot, and as soon as I get to the part that says, "standing outside with my mouth open wide" you start yelling "ah! ah! ah!" Sometimes you just randomly yell it when you want me to sing the song. It is adorable! I've started singing Happy Birthday to you sometimes too, and I pretend to blow out a candle when I'm done. I want you to be ready to blow out your candle on your first birthday! And you already have the hang of it. As soon as you hear me the first line of the song, your whole face scrunches up in a huge smile, and you break into adorable giggles.
You are so friendly, too! When we go shopping, you love to smile and wave as we pass people. It takes me forever to get my grocery shopping done, because almost everybody stops me so they can look at you, tell me how cute you are, and talk to you for a few moments. You LOVE the attention!
You've gotten 2 new teeth this month. These were the hardest ones yet. There was a whole week where you woke up just about every half hour, every night. Mommy and Daddy almost lost our minds! But then all of a sudden, the first one poked through, and ever since then, I haven't had to get up with you once in the night. (Knock on wood!)
You also love your blanket and pacifier. When you're starting to get tired, I put your blanket across myself, and you just bury your face in me. We always say, "snuggle!" when you do this, and I think you think your blanket is actually called your "snuggle" now, which I think is pretty cute!
You've gotten even cuter this month, if that's even possible. You love to blow kisses, do the motions to "Pat-a-cake," do "so big!", dance, give high fives, wave (you wave with your whole arm now, and it's so cute), give hugs (which are just you touching your head to things. We also say "noggin" to you, and touch our heads together. I think Aunt Di started that!) Like I said...you learn new things ever day!
You're such a sweet little girl, but very sassy, too. When we picked the name Scarlett, it sounded like a very feminine name, but also strong and not too prissy. I think it fits you perfectly, because that's exactly how your personality is. You are so sweet, but you are strong too. We hope you never change, and that you go through life as a strong woman who stands up and advocates for herself, but who also has so much sweetness, femininity, and love for others.
This is what you looked like this month:
I can't believe that your birthday party is being planned, and your invitations are all ready to be sent out. Time has gone too fast. But I am so excited for your future! It's definitely bittersweet to see you growing and changing every day!
We love you so much!!
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
