Eleven

My Dear Aubrey Rose,

How is it possible that I am typing your ELEVEN MONTH letter? Didn't I just finish your ten month? Oh wait, I did because I posted it a few weeks late. Oops.

Oh, my little love. I was browsing through you photos as a tiny little thing and my, have you changed! I cannot get a grip on the fact that you have lost some much of your baby chub - it is incredible.

I cannot think of anything to say that I haven't already told you or written to you. There is so much to say and I cannot for the life of me get it all down.

So, for now, let's talk about the new thing you have been up to....

• You have four teeth! 
• You have another pair just under the surface!
• You have attempted to take your first unassisted step and you fell right on your little booty
• You met Emma! She is a very good friend of mine's daughter and you two hit it off.
• You still hate green beans. The other nite Papa tried to sneak one to you and you had it in your mouth for all of two seconds before you pulled it out and threw it on the floor!
• You are starting to climb things
• You LOVE looking outside. You could sit in front of the window for hours if we let you

There isn't anything too new going on. But it seems that you are becoming this little sponge and is ready to absorb anything and everything. I should take that back. You have always been a little sponge but I, I don't know. I am at a loss for words...

Sigh.

Birthday party planning is in full swing right now. I have all of the details worked out in my mind but we don't really know a whole lot of children to invite....so I guess it'll be more for the adults in your life : )

Oh man, Aubrey. Watching you grow has been so bittersweet for me. I cannot imagine my life without you. 

Since I have been staring at the screen for five minutes I guess I will keep this short and sweet...

I love you, I love you, I love you. 

Love,

Mama

P.S. Can you believe the next time I write you will be a whole year old?!? Oh my gosh.
