Last week I was really lucky to have Elizabeth Cranmer take some more adorable pictures of Elly – I am really happy with how they turned out. It was a short photo shoot but we received lots of cute pictures.

Almost 11 months old

I have fallen in love with my little girl. I still remember her being placed in my arms for the first time and taking her home and holding her I thought – wow – I never thought I could love someone so much. But I was wrong, the love I felt for Elly then does not come close to how much I lover her now. I have truly been blessed with a little angel who lights up my world with everything she does.Elly will be 11 months old in a week and she is more fun all of the time. She now crawls everywhere as fast as she can and loves to get into everything. She loves to talk! She can now say mom and dad very clearly and if you are listening you will often hear “what’s that”, “uh-oh”, “go”, “hi” and she can almost say “love”. But she always has something to say and if she doesn’t think that you are listening she will just get louder until you are.

She still has gorgeous hair but will usually pull any clip, headband or elastic out before you can go anywhere or take a picture. Her favorite things include helping me vacuum, running around naked, playing tag, being as messy as she can while she eats and playing peek-a-boo.
