11 Months!

I have so many things to catch up on so expect a few new posts from me in the next couple of days.  So on the 11th our little Vivi turned 11 months old.  We will be celebrating her 1st birthday while we are in Utah!  I cannot believe she is so big already.  It seems like in the past couple of months she has just instantly gone from a baby to a toddler.  She just makes us smile everyday.  She is cruising all over the place now and for awhile would stand for a bit by herself, but she has decided that she will wait in walking and standing which is o.k. with me.  Her first word was Dad, but she has been loving to say Mom, and what I think is Emma.  It's hard to tell since Momma and Emma are very close.  It is so much fun having her trying to say new things.  She continues to experiment with different sounds and she tries so hard to imitate us.  She is a ham, she loves to play games and is just silly.  When she smiles and laughs she uses her whole face and just grins as big as she can and crinkles her nose, just like Emma does.  These girls sure are a lot of fun.  Vivian is has 6 teeth and has finally been sleeping through the night again.  I am in the process of weaning her which comes with mixed emotions, but it will be wonderful while we are traveling.  We are sure grateful that our girls are healthy and growing and learning, and we feel so blessed to have them.  Emma is an amazing big sister, and loves to help Viv whenever she can (sometimes TOO much).  Viv has also started shaking her head no, and when she doesn't want something (her bottle usually), she is so funny at pushing it away or banging her hands on her legs.  She has been clapping and loves to get up and dance or move to any kind of music.  She loves music.  We can't wait for her to see all her extended family in a couple weeks.  Although she HATES to drive in the car we know it will be a wonderful trip.
