10 months

I do in fact realize this is a month late, but my blog press app decided to stop working and I've had a virus on my computer... needles to say the technology has really put a damper in this area of my life.

But our little punkin is just a blast. In her 10th month, 

-she can say bah-bah, pah-pah, bye-bye, and maybe a few other words (of course no mama or da-da.)

-has 8 teeth

-can cruise around the furniture w/o falling

-is the fastest crawler i've ever seen

-shes obsessed w/ me and has major separation anxiety

-loves to feed herself (graham cracker, bananas, peaches, cheerios, green beans, turkey, cheese)

-can drink out of a straw, loves her sippy cup w/ apple juice

-loves dancing and bouncing to music

-loves books

-she also has developed a love for praise baby dvd's. she will not watch anything else

-she weighs 18lbs and wears 9-12 month clothes. however, her feet are the size of 0-3 month old :)

We honestly can't get enough of her. She is tons of fun and seriously such a good baby.

3 months left people... til she turns one! AGHH make this slow down pease!
We have been traveling quite a bit and now we are finally home for awhile...
since my last post this is what little bit has been up to!

-She has grown lots of hair and teeth (she has 6 now)
-She is in size 3 diapers
-She wears 6-12 month clothing
-She pulls up on everything
-She is officially crawling!!! I thought we were going to skip this b/c she started pulling up first.
-She is finally napping in her crib instea of her swing! Yay, huge accomplishment
-She loves to eat puffs, bananas, and mostly all baby food.
-She has 4-5 bottles a day
-Sleeps about 10hrs a night w/ no waking up
-Her favorite toy is anything she can pull up on and lids
-She does not take a paci and still has no lovie :( I want her to have something but she truly hasn't become attached to anything but me.
-She still loves her car seat and will usually take at least 1 nap a day in it while running errands. She is still a great traveler
-She loves most people, especially men
-She grunts when she likes/wants something :)
-She is finally making some sounds: bah bah, pa pa (still no da da or ma ma) which we work on everyday
-She is so.much.fun I can hardly handle it.


this happens as soon as she wakes up or doesn't want to go to sleep....

nightly walks are the best!

Standing is her favorite!





Do any of you moms have advice of how to get them on a good nap schedule and how I can get her to go down w/o a bottle... I started that only to transition her out of the swing but know i need to stop soon!

This punkin is seriously such a joy. Her personality just gets better everyday. We can't imagine if we had never done ivf. She was definitely worth it all. I absolutely love being at home with her everyday and also working a little from home as well. I enjoy watching her learn new things and explore her little world! Time is just flying by and I'm trying to just take it all in.
