Happy 11 Months, M and P!

It's that time again, another month has passed in our journey as a family. Mac and Paisley continue to change and grow every day. I am so thankful to be a mom, period, but I'm even more so blessed to be Mac and Paisley's mom. Cliche, maybe, but it's how I really feel! 
Paisley Grace,
Your favorite game is peek-a-boo, you love applesauce, you are 'fast as a hornet', you pull up on everything, and I've caught you trying to do a pull up on the top of your crib. Yesterday I watched you strategically stand on Mac's back to reach a cord you wanted. You clap when we say 'yay!', and you dance to songs and music. Your hair is getting so long on top, and you still let me dress that beautiful head with a sweet bow. Changing your diaper is difficult unless you have something in your hands. 
We call you Pai Pai, sweet P, Paisley Grace, and P. You adore your big sister Lilly Scott, and you're always watching Mac. My sweet little blossom, I can't begin to say how much you're loved. I think you'll only understand when you are a mama one day. :o)

Mac,
You are a scooting machine! You have a lot more weight and belly to carry than Paisley, so you just scoot... and you're getting fast! You also go from laying to sitting up on your own, and another tooth bloomed last week. 
When you're excited, you flap your arms. It is hilarious, and you know it. We love that you still grunt like the Cookie Monster (on command!) and laugh when we tickle you. You laugh so hard you get the hiccups. Cutie. 
The past couple of nights you've woken up, and I hold you because you've been sick. I cherish these times because they are few and far between-- I won't always be able to rock you in my arms. One day it won't be appropriate for me to nibble your toes or sniff your neck. That makes me sad. You'll always be my sweet boy. I love you with all my heart.

We love watching your relationship. You two are best friends, and where one is, there is the other. I hope it's always that way and that you always have a special relationship. What a joy it is to be part of your lives. My sweet babies. You're almost a whole year old, and what a year it has been?! 

All our love,
Mama and Dada

Your new favorite snack- the whole animal cracker at once!
T-R-O-U-B-L-E
  
So I gave you dishes to keep you in the kitchen :o)
 ... and I just ordered us a play yard!
as always,
ashley
