Oh my goodness. One more month and Vivian will be the big O-N-E! I'd like to report that taking the monthly photos has gotten easier, that she sits well and does not wiggle, and is generally cooperative so that mommy can get
a million cute pics one nice picture. Alas, that is not the case. I'm going to throw in a few pics we took earlier in the week so you can see how much she's changed. She really is turning into a big girl! She can walk behind her hippo, say "dada," "daddy," "doggie," "key (Qui)," "da (Dack)," "Hiiiiiii," and "HEY" like a champ. I'm still waiting for "mama." It's clear who is most loved in our house - Daddy and the doggies. (No hard feelings there, Missy.) She loves her little elf with a rattle in his hat, as well as her stuffed dogs. And she gets the biggest smiles when we see doggies at the Farmer's Market. She loooooves getting kisses, whether on her face or hands. She is now giving us kisses and hugs, which is awesome. (Except when she bites Daniel in the midst of a kiss. Oops.) We also play constant games of "Where's Vivian?" or "Where's Mama?" And we have a little dancing queen on our hands - she loves to groove to her LeapFrog table, phone ringtones or whatever is playing on the radio. She's changed so much in eleven months! I can't wait to see what the future holds for our Miss Missy.

Playing with my frog, pre-party
I love to crawl with my elf in my mouth (and try to touch mommy's camera lens)
Checking out her toy bin with the elf in her mouth
Mmmmm...elf hats taste like m&m's...
You can see some of the teeth she cut in the past few weeks
1-1? What does that mean?
Smiling at dada, as usual. ;)
Still chewing on the elf
Hi Mama! I love putting my little fingers all over your lens!
Falling over laughing. And waving "hi."
Granddad says I'm #1. I agree heartily!
I see you!
Love her smiles
Lots of giggles when Dada is around
Oh, hey mama! I just noticed you there! :)
