11 Months

 Collyns is nearing a year old and she, too, spent a lot of the last month sick with the flu (twice) and a cold.  She has four teeth on the bottom and four on the top.  Her hair is also starting to grow a little bit.  She loves bread even though she's not supposed to have very much of it.  She's also starting to drink more juice to help with her digestion since we've had a few issues this month.  She loves her ride-on car so much we have been forced to hide it because she screams if she sees it and doesn't get a ride.  She also loves to play in the dog dishes, dishwasher, inside the open refrigerator and next to the bathtub.  She's been known to be kind of a wimp.  We are trying to toughen her up.  She's nearly impossible to change her diaper and to keep her sitting during church and a basketball game.  She loves to pull herself up and stand next to furniture her size.  She can say "mamamamama" and "dadadadadada" and "nananananana."  She will also wave on occasion and finds comfort in mom, dad, and her grandmas.
