I seriously contemplated waiting on this post and just combining the 10 month and 11 month updates together but I finally have a little free time so I figured I'd go ahead and do it. This has been a busy month with Halloween, work, and now Thanksgiving! The girls have grown so much since their 9 month update…both physically and developmentally. They have started pulling up on everything and we have even more teeth now.
Josh and I are amazed at these two every day. When I see my girls playing and laughing I can't help but think about one of my favorite Bible verses, "For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition that I made to him." 1 Samuel 1:27 I am so thankful that the Lord has entrusted Josh and I to be the parents of these two little angels…we are truly blessed.

Pacifier, pacifier, and did I mention you like your pacifier? It is your favorite thing in the world! In fact you have not one but two wubanub pacifiers that you can't live without. We have two of them because you need to have one while we wash the other or else you will throw a fit! You of course love to eat…your new favorite baby food is Beef and Veggies. You love books and every toy is your favorite. Another one of your new found loves is our Christmas tree. We put it up early and you and your sister stare at it every time we eat…trying to keep you two out of it has been quite a challenge.
Dislikes:
We found out that quinoa is on a short list of things you absolutely hate to eat. In fact, you hated quinoa so much that you wouldn't even eat anything else after tasting it…I guess it left a strange taste in your mouth.
Claire Bear, you my dear are such a love bug. You love to cuddle and you love kisses…eskimo kisses are your absolute favorite. You laugh every time I put my nose up to yours. You are learning new things every day. You can now pull up and you are trying to walk. I'm sure next month you and your sis will have me running after y'all. You have your bottom two teeth now. You haven't been the happiest baby for the last few weeks because of those little teeth coming in but they finally came through and you are finally getting back to your normal silly self. You weighed in this month at 20 lbs. and you are 29 in. long. You have a new car seat coming your way for Christmas. I can't believe my little 3.0 lb. baby is too big for her infant carrier already! You are such a blessing to your daddy and me. We love you so much Audrey Claire.

You like to be held…all the time! This is a challenge because I can't possibly hold you all day long. I'm hoping your dependency on being held will go away on it's own. You also LOVE quinoa. You ate an entire container of quinoa for dinner and you literally were trying to grab the spoon from my hand to put it in your mouth…I guess mama isn't fast enough. You love your books and you are particularly fond of your new vanity toy. You and your sister would sit in front of it and play with the comb, lipstick, and puff all day long if I let you. You also love your paci. Mama isn't looking forward to the day we have to give them up. I might go crawl under a rock and hide at that point.
Dislikes:
You hate it when I leave the room. You literally throw the biggest fit and you will crawl after me…you are definitely a mama's girl.
Sweet girl, you are a fire ball! You are so determined and independent. You can do anything you set your mind to. You are cruising around the nursery like a pro. We have done some new baby proofing to accommodate your adventurous self. You absolutely love to look out of the window…all day long. You have a new top tooth and a new bottom tooth. You now have 4 teeth all together. You can stand up on your own without holding on to anything. You are such a big girl. You weigh 19 lbs. and are just shy of 29 in. tall. You started saying "Dada" and "Nana" this month. Your daddy and Nana couldn't be more proud. We love you so much sweet pea!
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above…James 1:17
