My sweet walking baby girl!

Our sweet baby girl is officially & full-on WALKING now!  Anibella took her first steps on Wednesday, August 25th, when she was still just nine months old & she just turned 11 months old on September 28th!  She has been cruising since she was seven months old so she was so ready!  She is very steady on her cute little feet & VERY confident for such a little muffin!  She hardly ever crawls anymore & it is so adorable to watch her walk around!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE how happy & sweet Anibella looks in these pictures!  She totally melts her Mama's heart!  : )

This is one of the cutest & one of my most favorite things that Anibella does!  She sticks out her cute little tongue & curls it up & over itself like a wave!  It is adorable!  She does it when she's concentrating or curious about something!  I LOVE IT!  : ) 

 I love how cute Anibella's little bum looks as she's walking her cute little baby self over to Amy!

 

Anibella LOVES to climb!  She will climb anything & she is very good at it!  She is tiny & very agile so she can just shimmy up anything!  It's adorable but a little scary for Mommy sometimes!  Here she is trying to get her little foot up on her big sissies' dresser.  

 

Anibella actually CLIMBED up the dresser when I was right there!  I couldn't believe it!  I got her before she got up too high but my little monkey was just as happy as she could be!  (If you don't know me, I am VERY safety conscious, to a fault sometimes!  My Hubby & I decided where to put this dresser based on safety alone & where it could NOT fall over on any of our girls & not even on where it looked the best!  (Although I think it looks really cute where it is & it works perfectly in our big girls' room.......but I digress!)  It is about 3 feet away from the end of one of our sets of bunk beds so if it could not tip completely over because the bed would stop it!  Just thought I would mention that since if I were reading someone's blog & saw a precious little baby CLIMBING  up a dresser, my first thought would be about the baby's safety!  I was right beside my sweet baby girl & I got her down right away!   (after I got a picture, of course!)  She is one smart & adventurous baby!  : ) 

I HAD to include these few sweet pictures of my big(gest) baby girl, Amy, who so sweetly helped me get these pictures of my littlest baby, Anibella, walking!  Amy is not only a sweet helper but LOVES (all 4 of her sissies!) her baby sissy SO much!  She genuinely enjoys & adores her little Anibella who she affectionately calls "Belle" or "Belles"!  I can't even tell you how it melts my heart to see my oldest loving so sweetly on my littlest!  (I have to say that all of my other big(ger) girls desperately wanted to help me take pictures of Anibella too!  They actually were really sad that I only had Amy in the room with us but it would have just been too distracting for Anibella (in a sweet way cause she loves her sissies all so much!)  I'm so grateful that all of my girls are sweet & nurturing to each other (most of the time!  : ) !) & they love helping me do fun stuff like this!)

I love the sweet look on Amy's face when she's getting ready to tickle Anibella! Pure, sweet, Sissy-love!

 

 

My biggest & my littlest!  God can do amazing wonderful things in 9 years!  I LOVE my girlies!
