It's that time of month again... no not that time of month hahaha... the time of the month where my daughter gains another month. I can't believe my Vienna is 11 months old today. She is growing up so fast!
This past month it has really hit me that she is no longer a baby. She is becoming more and more independent. I love watching her learn new things. This month we have realized that Vienna has taken a huge liking to drawing. She will sit on the floor with crayons and draw on a piece of paper for the longest time. She has found the most comfortable way to hold the crayon and loves to draw in swirls instead of dashes. I'm so proud of her. I guess she picked up the artistic gene from my family. I wish I could say from me... but I'm not what you would call artistic. But I am very excited that Vienna is.
As we introduce new foods to her, she is easy to please. I have not found a food yet that she has not eaten and loved. I'm sooooo happy that she is not a picky food eater. She also enjoys spicy food. I make sure that it is not too spicy (I don't want to destroy her taste buds so young haha) but she does enjoy a bit of spice.
She also LOVES our trips to the pool in our gated community. Jarom and I bought her a floaty toy that she can sit in and put around the pool in. She loves it!!! But now she is bored of it... she now enjoys laying on her tummy with my hand holding her up while she kicks and splashes around. It is sooo cute!
Vienna is enjoying the heat here in Dallas for sure... mostly because it allows us more outdoor time! We go for walks... play on our patio... go to the dog park to play with the dogs... trips to get ice cream... daily trips to the pool and to the beach volleyball court (we play in the sand!). We have sooooo much fun together!
Another part of our day that we enjoy together is when Daddy comes home!!! Because Jarom is gone from 12-10:30 everyday we have changed her schedule so she is up when Jarom comes home. That allows her more time with dad. Plus it helps when Vienna isn't cranky about sleep. I just changed her nap times so it allows her to be awake for about 40 min after Jarom comes home. It is sooo worth it cause when she hears his key in the door she starts giggling and clapping and freaking out! I love it! It is so fun to watch those two together. You can tell they have such a special relationship together. It is such an awesome feeling to know they are so close.
We have some what started a play date group with a few ladies and their kids down here and it is so fun! Vienna LOVES playing with other kids... and she loves watching them and trying to mimic what they do. She is quite the learner!
We are also getting more progress with teaching her the features on her face. She loves showing people where their nose, eyes and ears are.
I can't believe Vienna is turning one next month. It just blows my mind that she has already been with us for a whole year. I have decided to make her a mini mouse birthday party. It should be sooooo fun!!! One of the plus's to living down here in the states is that it is so easy and cheap to find theme things for parties. I already have so much to work with. It should be sooo much fun!
So here is a shout out to our little princess Vienna...
HAPPY 11 MONTHS VIENNA!!! We love you sooooooooooo much!!!
