Eleven Months

11 Months

• This has been more of a quiet month. Your sister has been sick so much that we have stayed home a lot. You don't mind, you get great naps and roam all over the house.
• You learned how to crawl up the stairs for better or for worse. We have a baby gate for the stairs going down because that would really hurt for you to fall down the wood stairs, but the half flight up is free game. I thought you were getting into trouble on the main floor, but now that you can go upstairs, we have entered a whole new game. We have to keep the bathroom door and my room door shut at all times. There has been so many times that I have walked into the bathroom with q-tips scattered all over the floor, the toilet paper unrolled in a big pile on the floor, the trashed scattered and you either sucking on the toilet bowl brush (so gross!!) or splashing around in the toilet like its a swimming pool (nasty!!!). My room has books and I have a page or two ripped out of my Book of Mormon now. But also it has been nice. As long as the legos are picked up, your brother and sister are pretty good with letting you play in their room. You like to sneak up there and play cars or pull out the dress up clothes out of the drawers.
• You have been nicked name the "Wild Child" for more than one reason. The first reason is from the bullet point above. The second reason is your hair. It is so long in front and it grows straight down into your eyes and nose boogers. I try hard to always keep it pulled back in a pony tail, but after each nap it is a diaster and then the other times when I just redid it nicely, you will rip out the hair tie. So about 75% of the time, your crazy hair is stuck in front of your face covered and splattered with boogers.
