11 Months!

Ok so they are actually only 3 weeks away from their birthday now and I have to say I am tired of the pressure that comes with these monthly photos and updates :) I also know I say this every month, but I can't believe my babies are almost a year! I especially love this stage we are in and the girls could not be more different, in looks and personality. They play well together most of the time, but the times they don't I am letting them learn to work it out. They love morning when we are not in a hurry to go somewhere because Grayson sits on the floor with them and feeds them bananas like little birds.

Olivia
She has what we call an unhealthy attachment for my mother. She will cry the biggest tears when my mom leaves or if my mom is holding Lizzie or Grayson. If she sees that my mom is getting Lizzie out of the carseat instead of her she starts kicking her legs and banging her head. It is a nice break for me, but I feel bad that Lizzie does not get that one on one time.
Olivia is definitely her own person, she is still content playing alone on the floor, but she will fight back if you take her toy!
She is not as far along in pulling up and trying to walk like her sister, but she is starting to show signs.
Her new favorite trick is to climb up into Grayson's chair, she gets so excited when she gets up there she just sits there laughing and kicking her legs.
She is still easy to make smile
It is harder for me to correct her, it's that I was sick when I was born syndrome, I am working on it, but mainly it is because she does not try and get into everything like her sister.

Lizzie
Oh Lizzie what can I say about her.
She is so close to walking, I know she could do it if she really wanted to. She stands alone, she takes a few steps, but only when she wants to, there is no making her.
She has her own personality, she loves her brother still and is excited when he plays with her
Her favorite thing to do is dump all the toys out of their baskets first thing in the morning
If there is an open door or gate she is gone! Never seen a baby crawl that fast.
She is for sure going to push the limits and mommy's patience
She will eat anything, and will eat until you cut her off!
Her favorite thing to do right now is poop nightly in the bath tub (but at least it's not my carpet)
