11 Months



It is crazy to think that in one more month our baby will be one years old! So for now I am enjoying every last minute of her being my baby for as long as I can.
This month was a little more calmer than October. But still full of family and fun. Rayni started walking a week before she turned 10 months. So this month has been "lets play follow the leader" with Lou. She is all over the place and into everything. I feel like I say that every time but this is even more so then ever before. If she wants something she will get it. And if you take it away from her she is miss A.T.T.I.T.U.D.E! She tells you how she feels about what ever is going on. It is either "EEH!", smiles, giggles, big crocodile tears, or her ever so mastered fak cry. She is full of emotions and she sure knows how to express herself.
Her favorite food is still black beans. She likes to attack me when I am eating. She gets as close to me as she can wanting what is on my plate. It doesn't matter if I feed her first she still wants what I have. I have been trying to teach her "please" in sign language. But she refuses... she just wines and screams at me for my food. So we will be continuing to work on that.
She loves to go to the daycare. She has lots of friends that she thinks she can boss around. She doesn't love the little boys bugging her. But she sure loves the older boys.
Im telling you we are in for a treat with this one. Her attitude and flirtashiousness with the boys is going to turn her mommy and daddy white haired before she is 3. 16 might just be the death of us.

With her attitude aside she is the sweetest thing. I have her smile and her sweet voice when she is telling you a story.
My mom asked if I was going to be trying to get her off her bottle soon? This made me panic!!!! I am a working mom and don't get to see my baby all day. When I give her her bottle at night it truly is my favorite time of the day! She will cuddle with me and she just stares at me. I wonder what she thinks? I also stare and think about how beautiful she is, wonder what her future is going to be like, am always in awe of her, and thank my Heavenly Father for her. She loves my eyelashes and will sit there and rub her little finger over and over my eyelashes. 99% of the time she is very gentle. Every once in awhile she gets a little rough. But for the most part it is a sweet and tender moment that makes my heart melt. To think that that will soon be over is killing me!
I know that there will be other things that I will cherish like I do with feeding her. And I don't want to miss out on those so I will take the future as it comes and hope for more sweet moments like this.
I truly love this little girl and love that she is my best friend! When I go pick her up at the end of the day her smile, fast walk towards me with arms stretched out make my day 100% better.
I feel very unworthy of this sweet gift my Father in Heaven has given me, but I take it a day at a time and thank him everyday for trusting me enough to have this sweet spirit in my life. She has foever changed me for the better!
Love you MUFFIN!

This is the first time that Lou has been old enough to recognize snow. When we walked out the morning of the first big snow this is what she did for so long. She just sat and stared.
She kept trying to touch and lick the snow by licking the wondow
She kept looking back at me with the biggest smile and giggling
Look Mama!!!


When daddy woke up he showed her the snow. She was very confused and very skeptical
She didn't understand why he was putting it by her mouth
but finally took a taste
she shivered when she licked it. It was so cute

My little princess all ready for church. I think she looks so big in this picture.
At the daycare Rayni was running with a sippie cup. She fell and cut her chin. She now has a mark on her chin that I think might scar. Lovely blood all over her shirt.
I was cooking breakfast and Daddy was playing with Rayni. I turned around to see him doing this on the window. It is hard to see but it is a heart that says, "Daddy loves Rayni" This melted my butta! Even though she is a stinker and is being a mommy's girl. I know that she will be daddy's best friend one day and she will appreciate seeing how much her daddy loved her!

 Saturday morning snuggles

This is hard to see... but every morning when driving her to the daycare I love looking back and seeing this face. She likes to look out the window and look at the sky. I wish I could have taken a better one... but I have to drive.
Running away from mommy too bad you can't hear her giggles. So cute!!!

Rayni this is your dad. I know I haven’t said anything on the Blog but now it’s to the end and I want to share how grateful I am towards my angel. She doesn’t show her daddy much love but deep down inside Rayni I want you to know that I love you very much and will always be there for you. I will never leave your side I will always be there to talk to you and guide you. Now for my wonderful wife she has picked up being a great wife to me even more and I love her for that making me feel wanted even with a new baby because I know it’s hard for her. She has done something for me every day since my birthday Dec 3 for the 28 days of Christmas. I am truly blessed to have two angels in my life and no matter what struggles we have been through this has made it all worth it. Just a friendly reminder to all those wonderful moms out there please try to remember through all the hard times with new baby's or new anything your husbands will need to be loved and taken care of no matter how tough they act. I also want to thank my mom even though she doesn’t read this that I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it wasn’t for her. Thank you for working your butt off being a single mom to try and make our childhood as great as it could be. I also want to let my friends know that I love them very much and I am grateful to still have them after high school to depend on to joke with and if I have ever made you feel bad in any way I am sorry. I also want to let my mother in law and father in law that I don’t think I could ask for any better in laws, they have taken care of me loved me since the day I have met them. There extended family are also amazing and make me feel loved like they are my own. I hope that everyone can see this one day and Rayni this is about you. I hope you realize that we are here to love you not make you sad or bugged that we are only doing what we do because we love you and want you to be safe. We are human and will make mistakes so please be quick to forgive like our wonderful savior did on the cross.
Love you all!!
P.S I hope everyone likes this because I am not the blogger type so this will be few and far between.
