First Steps!
Carys had taken a few steps here and there but, nothing i would consider walking. Saturday we had company over for a little BBQ. and I guess she wanted to show off her skills for everyone b/c she took some REAL steps, like pretty much walking! she was doing it on and off all day, so finally i took out the flip cam and got it on video.

Beach Trip & Meeting Family
We went to Myrtle Beach two weekends ago for Chris' grandfather's (his mom's dad) 80th birthday. We only planned on staying the weekend but we were having such a great time that we ended up staying a few extra days. This was the first time Carys was meeting her great-grandparents, as well as many other family members on Chris' side.
*i have a lot of pictures, and i'm including them all! so get ready for the picture bomb!
Carys' great grandma and grandpa. can you believe her great-grandpa is 80?! He looks great!
here is a picture with grandpa, Chris' dad
Carys and aunt Soni (sorry grandpa, couldn't crop you out of the background!)
the weather was nice while we were there, it was a bit chilly but warmer than back home. one day it was even warm enough to let Carys enjoy the beach (for the first time!)... she really liked feeling the sand and playing in it, until she ate a whole handful of it... then she was done with the beach!
we had such a great time, and it was really nice meeting and getting to know more of Chris' family!

fun at the grocery store!
okay i'll tell you about our actual trip(with lots of pictures included) in the next post... i just wanted to post these pictures really quick
we went to a grocery store while we were in Myrtle Beach and they had these shopping baskets with wheels!
chris and i thought, wow this was made just for Carys! so we sat her in there and rolled her around the grocery store while we shopped
and she LOVED it! she sat in there and had a ball while we pulled her along
i can't tell you how many people came up to us and told us how cute she was and what a great idea it was, and other funny little comments (all very nice and sweet). one lady even took a picture of Carys in her little basket, after our permission of course.
we've never gotten so much attention at a grocery store! thankfully it was all positive!
the grocery stores in our area need to get on it and get some baskets with wheels!
Happy 11 Months Carys
she weighs a little over 17 lbs... we had a few set backs last month with her getting sick twice and teething so she lost a little bit of weight but gained it back plus a few more ounces
she was measured a few weeks ago and was a little over 26 inches... she's finally getting taller!!
our happy baby loves crawling around every where and getting into anything that looks interesting to her (which is everything)... today she ate some cat food, i couldn't get it out of her hand fast enough and she shoved it in her mouth... and seemed to enjoy it, lol!
she loves playing with these things (i don't know what they're called, door stoppers?)
she hasn't started walking by herself yet... she's taken a few steps and will stand without holding onto anything for a few seconds. but she doesn't seem to be in any rush to walk. i can tell she wants to but she's still unsure. which is fine with me bc when she starts walking i know i won't be able to confine her in her little play area anymore
she's a talker, well... a babbler i should say, she can't say any real words yet. but she is babbling from the time she wakes up until she goes to sleep, sometimes she "talks" in her sleep. when people meet her for the first time they always say, "she's a talker!" and i say "yup, just like her daddy!"
she has "conversations" with us and she'll use had gestures and shrug her shoulders, its so funny
she still only has 2 teeth but her top two teeth are coming in, she has been teething like crazy and she is not a happy baby when she's teething! she is very cranky and chews on EVERYTHING
Is it possible for an 11 month old to have temper tantrums? If Carys doesn't get her way she has a mini meltdown, like if we take something away from her that she's not supposed to be playing with she'll throw herself on the floor and start crying. even if she is playing by herself and gets frustrated with a toy she gets upset.
i already have anxiety about the terrible twos.
but she is soooo cute you can never get mad at her, unless its 5am and she's been crying in her crib for 20 minutes for no reason... yeah, she's been doing that lately
another new thing she's been doing recently is imitating people. its so much fun to play with her and make silly sounds and have her imitate you. just today at the chiropractor, we were in the waiting area and this little girl sighed and then of course Carys had to sigh too... I just started laughing, she seriously cracks me up all the time!
Happy 11 Months Carys! you are growing into such a beautiful human being, inside and out. you put a smile on my face every single day :)
*more adorable beach pictures to come in my next post!
