11 months old and Melody has been growing up so much!

Just this week to celebrate her turning 11 months old, we went up to the The Wooden Shoe Tulip farm and she just loved it! She enjoyed walking about in the rows, sliding down the bumpy slide with daddy, and posing for mommy and grandma! I think the most fun photos we got of her is when we decided to put her into the giant wooden clogs!  We had a few bystanders take  photos of her… Paparazzi already!

As the days grow closer to her first birthday, I’ll be busy working on birth to 1 year scrapbook. It brings a tear to my eye to see how fast she has really grown up already. She’s so brave and independent. I’ll miss those days when she was tiny and we would stare at each other face to face for hours. But in all things  each day ahead brings new joys.  Nothing compares to being a mom and a teacher.  I feel like if I blink I’ll miss something or wake up and she’ll be 5!

Time does pass ever so quickly so enjoy the little time you have with your children. I know I will be.

My daughter got into the Easter egg that had chocolate in it! I didn’t’ think she’d be able to get it open and then I look away for a minute or two while making lunch and she’s covered in chocolate and quite thrilled about it as you can see from the photo. I guess we can say she’s a fan.

Please vote for my daughter over at New Parent! She was chosen as the baby of the week and I am thrilled about it.
