Miss Rose and her 11 month pose!

It's hard to imagine but my little Missy is 11 months old already! Each month I have been trying to take a picture of her with her blanket that we took her home with from the hospital. It's funny how now that she has grown so much, the blanket seems smaller! This is the first picture for her month to month pictures that she had to have a toy with her and surprise surprise it is one with a string. This morning she had fun digging through Walter's bin of wooden blocks. She would find one, examine it and then toss it behind her. Walter and I have been playing a game lately where we stack them up for her and she knocks them over. She is also digging the whole practicing to walk thing now. She just cruises around this house with her push toy! Her words of the day where "candle,"" Chevy"and "ouch". We ran errands this afternoon and she just ate-up all of the attention that little dimple smile got her!

I had to take a picture of Walter's words on this little magna doodle that he was drawing on this morning too (this little one is suppose to be for church since he has a big one he plays with too but as soon as I put it in the church bag it mysteriously gets taken out and now that it has become one of Rose E's favorite toys too I just gave-up and let them play with it) anyway, he held it up and said "look Mama me drawed love you too Daddy, Mama, Rose E, Buster and Chessie." He has been into writing lately and how things are spelled. A couple of days ago he asked me what "mama" starts with and then asked Jeff to write an M for him and tonight he asked me how "Walter" is spelled. Today and yesterday he was occupied for a long time putting stickers into his sticker book. I had to laugh because I got some free stickers in the mail with pictures of different countries on them and as he put them into his book he said "look Mama me put the crunchry stickers in mine sticker book." He also said another cute thing today on our way home from our errands as we passed the museum and he said "the trains are sleeping in the shed, Mama what do you think they are dreaming about?" I said "I don't know Walter, what do you think?" He said "umm maybe playing outside with two Soo line trains."
