Aspen - 11 months/ 4th of July

With the 4th of July came my baby girl's 11 month bday! We had our family over for the 4th of July since our city fireworks show is shot off from the middle school which is in our back yard. Here is what Aspen is up to at 11 months and on her first July 4!

Aspen has a big personality and an even sweeter smile. There is no describing the amount of joy she brings to my heart!
Weight: 21 lbs
Height: 28.5 inches
Size 3 diapers, Size 12 month clothes (sometimes 18 or even 24), Size 2 shoes

Aspen eats 3 -6 oz bottles/day. She eats oatmeal around lunchtime, has a snack in the afternoon and is eating more and more regular food at dinner. She has 3 teeth now, 2 on the bottom and 1 on top. Her smile is so sweet. She is still taking 2 naps/day and sleeping at night from about 8:45-6 am.

 Aspen was clapping after the blackcats went off...so silly!
She loves to be outside. She will play with her little car or just run around outside forever if I would let her! We just discovered this last weekend that Aspen is a little water bug. She’s never been quite sure what to think of the baby pool or her own pool at home, but I took her in the deeper water this weekend and she loved it. When I had her on her tummy she would kick her feet and just laugh (she was even trying to stick her face in the water) and when I put her on her back, she just loved it!
 Here comes T.R.O.U.B.L.E!!!!
She’s a smiley baby. She loves to smile and talk and point at things.  It’s so much fun to tell her something and see her go do it b/c she understands what we’re saying a lot of the time now. Listening doesn’t always happen, but she’s working on it. No words yet, just momma, dada and ba-ba. She knows what her bear, the ball, books, her car, etc are-when you ask her where they are, she will go get them. She is into everything, drawers and cabinets are her favorite!
She loves to play with footballs, basketballs, bouncy balls, all sorts. I think we’re going to have a little athlete on our hands! She’s also just started noticing her baby. She’ll give her baby kisses and try to feed her a bottle – it’s the cutest thing ever! She loves to look at books but doesn’t sit still long enough to read them. She’s also started LOVING Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. It’s on in the mornings when I’m chasing Aspen around getting ready to go to work. She will sit and watch it for a little bit, get bored with it and go get into something else play with something else and then when they start singing again she will dance with them and just smiles so big at the tv. We have fun dancing to the hot dog song at the end of the show every morning.
 
We got lucky and Aspen liked watching the fireworks and wasn't scared at all! She actually fell asleep during the big show and slept through all the noise outside once I took her in and laid her in bed!
