11 Months

 Our Maeve is getting closer and closer to the one year mark.  She's busy pulling up and trying out her balancing skills.  No true steps yet, but when she starts, it's on!  I will be one busy mama!  Now I can leave her in a safe place and walk away for a bit knowing she cannot get too far. When the walking begins, I will have to keep my eye on her every second. 

She likes to wave "bye bye", and she claps alot.  She yells for Cam when he's upstairs.  It's so funny to watch her mock us and realize how odd we must sound to her.  Her latest trick is whistling.  If you ask her to whistle she'll make a tiny circle with her mouth and suck air in and out of it.  You can barely hear a faint little whistle coming through.  It is the cutest! 

She goes later this month to have her tear ducts opened since they are clogged and don't seem to be able to correct themselves.  While she's in for that, we've decided that tubes are a must too since she's had back- to-back ear infections for the last 5 months.  She won't know how to act when tears aren't constantly running down her face or when she doesn't have to be on antibiotics to get rid of the ear infections. 

We are busy planning the big ONE birthday bash.  It should be a memorable event since we are having a double party with Anna Belle. 

We love you Maevey!
