Eleven Months Maebry

Princess Maebry is ELEVEN months old!
 
 
 
 
I have to say this number freaks me out.
She will be one year old in only a month!!!
I dread that blog post.

 
I decided to take her eleven month pics with her wearing her Halloween costume.
Our little Snow White baby :) 

 
I decided I wanted her to be Snow White a long time ago.
I'm not sure why, but I figured she would make a super cute one.

 
I am really happy with the way her costume came out.
I was a little nervous making it, because I didn't have a pattern.
Luckily, it all worked out!  

 
She doesn't concern herself with smiling for the camera lately.
As soon as the camera comes out, she gets real serious.
I had her cousin Spencer outside giving it everything he had to make her smile.
Thanks to him I got some great smiley ones.

 
There really isn't too much going on that is different with her.
She is actually trying pretty hard to crawl lately.
Props to her for finally deciding to move around!

 
She loves to play little games with me.
She will giggle and repeat the same thing over and over to get a reaction from me.  


 We still call her BeeBee and Maebs.

 
She sure has a sassy streak in her.
If you take something away from her lately she screams and gets upset.
Paxton does not like this new development.
He used to be able to swap toys with her if she had something he wanted.
Not so much anymore.

 
For a few months now, she does not like Mama to leave the room.
If she can't see me, then she is most likely not happy.

 
Other than a few bumps here and there she is still a wonderful tempered baby.
She still just goes with the flow and has amazing sleeping patterns.
[I might have already said this in every blog post so far, but it's still true!] 

 
I was telling my sister that it's crazy how much she already loves baby dolls.
She gets so excited when she sees one and tries to snuggle it right away.  
Her baby has been her favorite toy for some time now.
In fact, that is how my sister got her to smile for these last pictures.
You can tell she is reaching out for a baby doll.  


A family member said something interesting the other day.
They said, "Maebry, we were worried about where you would fit in with Natalie and Paxton,
but it is obvious that you are a perfect fit. We aren't worried about your place at all!"
I thought that was funny.
It is true that Paxton and I are besties, and we have the tightest bond.
It's crazy but when you have a second child, your heart stretches and allows for more room.
There is no doubt that Maebry is my other bestie, and we have an amazing bond too.
She fits in perfectly.  
 


 
Maebry's cousin, Presley, is Snow White this year too.
We just had to get a picture of these two beauties together!

 
(We were actually at Old Navy together when we found the Snow White headbands!
Pretty lucky find!)
Thanks to my sister, Nicole, for letting me use her house and props for the pictures.
 
No need to hurry up getting here next month.
I need my baby to stay a baby a little longer!

The Pumpkin Trail

I took the kiddos to the Pumpkin Trail today!
This has been something my sister and I have wanted to do this month.  
I took Pax a couple years ago and he loved it.
My friend also joined us with her kids.
It was perfect weather for being outside!
 
 
They were both in great moods considering they have been sickies lately.
Paxton loved seeing all the pumpkins, and Maebry was just happy to be along for the ride.
 
 
I love Paxton's huge laugh in this next picture.
It was so good to see him acting more like himself today!  
 


Presley was there looking super cute too.
We missed Spency today, but he had school. 

 
Once again, Maebry was more concerned about eating hay.


The kids had fun running around and looking at all the different pumpkins.
(This is P Man's friend Finn.)
 

 
 
There was even a caterpillar pumpkin!




I sure love spending time with my two cuties!
 
 
Naturally, I loved all of the cute picture opportunities.

 

 
My sister and I tried real hard to get a cute picture of all three kids...
It was pretty much impossible.
Here are some funny ones though.


Maebry got real sassy at this point.
She pulled her bow off and decided to attack Presley.




Presley liked it though...haha.
 

Good job Paxton. 


Me and my boy.
 

One of Paxton's favorite parts was this "Spooky House."
 

 
Paxton just looks so grown up in this picture.
When did it happen??
Please stay little Maebry.



After we finished walking the trail, I told Paxton and Finn to cheese for me.
Finn threw his fist up in the air.
He's so hilarious.


You did real good Maebry :)
 

It was such a fun little outing.
After being stuck in the house all week with sickies, it was so great to spend some time outside.
Yay for friends and pumpkins!
