Last celebration of months gone by...

Malina is now 11 months old!  We started by celebrating the days, then the weeks, and finally the months.  In just a few short weeks Malina will be a year old.  That makes this the final monthly update, although I'm sure I will still celebrate her little milestones.  It has been an extremely busy month with many play dates, zoo trips, and visits by family and friends.  My best friend Ann visited for a weekend and Dad just left after nearly a week long visit.  We are so blessed to have such amazing friends and family who make such a huge effort to see us!

Duck, Duck, Duck



Yes, Malina's first real word is duck.  She has been saying "duh," and "da" for some time now...usually meaning daddy, doggie, or dolly. A month ago Uncle Jason and Uncle Kenny brought her this light-up, sparkly bath toy which sealed the deal for "Duck."  When we go to the park to see the real ducks she has no idea what we're talking about because her concept of duck is quite different.  She looks at us as if we're crazy...obviously real ducks are pink and pretty.
