Mandy is 11 months old!

In honor of Mandy's 11 month birthday today, I completed a survey for her about herself. I could go on and on about how she is growing up before my eyes and how much I enjoy her willing smile and recount her birthday story (actually I should recount her ALMOST birth story), but I will save the mushy stuff for next month when my baby turns 1 year old. In the meantime, here's the survey:

Full name: Mandy Rose

Age: 11 months old

Favorite Food: blackberries

Favorite time of day: any time with Daddy

Last movie you watched in a theater: I don't remember it, but my mommy says I made her puke and miss the Bourn Ultimatum last August in utero.

Ever been skinny dipping? yesterday

What do you do if you are bored? whine

Last time you cried: about 15 minutes ago because Emma smashed my hand with Cocoa the rocking horse

Blueberries or Cherries: blueberries

What is your best physical feature? From all the compliments I get, I would say it is my crystal clear blue eyes

Favorite childhood toy: sticks, rocks, and dirt

I took pictures yesterday of the girls in their sweet matching white dresses. My best laid plans don't always turn out as I would hope, especially not when it comes to photographing my own children. Think any of the pictures were salvageable? Check them out by clicking on the link to my photography blog in the left top of the sidebar. (For some reason the link I previously embedded went to a prophesy website even though the address was correct).
