11 months today!

Karlie turned 11 months today!  She is growing like a weed too.  She is doing better getting around, but still hasn’t mastered crawling yet.  She can pivot around and around and scoots on her back by digging her heels in the ground.  We are hoping she’ll be crawling soon…but maybe we should enjoy her non-crawling as much as possible.  She is very independent and very very vocal.  She is finally saying dada, or shall I say screaming it most days…  Her hair is growing, but still straight up instead of flat on her head.  Drake hates when I put lotion on it to tame it b/c he says she looks like poindexter…ha.  She is tolerating my fixing it now though a little more than before.  We are hoping to drop her off for a half day to stay with the lady who’ll be keeping her during the school year sometime next week for a trial run.  I really dread having to leave her, but I think it will be good for her to be around other kids for a change.  She likes kids and stares and everytime she sees one when we’re out.  I’m sure it has to do with her having been in the orphange for the first months of her life.  Here are some pics of the last couple of days.    Enjoy your day!
