11 months old today

Time has flown since the last post and I am a huge slacker. We have celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas, had two birthdays and a happy new year! So now I am updating something from today! Alyssa is 11 months old today. 18 lbs and running. She has been walking for about 3 weeks and crawling up the stairs longer than that. She recently burned both sides of her wrist with my hair straightener. Poor thing. It was so ugly, but it is starting to look better. We claim she can say Daisy and yesterday Jackie, but maybe we are just excited and hopeful. Definately sure there is a mommy and daddy in there. She is an independent soul. The other day I thought she was downstairs with me, but I found her upstairs playing in the toy room. We now use the gate a lot more. She loves mom, but as soon as dad walks in the door I am no longer needed. At least not until she is tired or hungry. Our house is finally on the mend from being sick for the last 3 weeks (pinworms, croup, 2 ear infections, a burned wrist, rotovirus, mono and an extreme sleep deprivation for mom and dad). Things are looking much better this week. Hans and I keep saying, "It can't last forever." HOpe you have a great day!
