I can't believe that you will be 1 in two short months. You are such a big girl and it amazing me all that you can do at just 10mths. You are still so different in so many ways from Adah and even though you are 10mths I feel like you are still so tiny! You don't talk or babble as much as Adah did but you sure do move a heck of a lot more than she did! You have been crawling now for a little over 3 months and you have been pulling up and cruising for longer than that! You are so fast a crawling and cruising! In the past 3 weeks you have really started to stand on your own. You will crawl over to places and pull yourself up and then let go and just stand there or play with things! I have no doubt you will be walking soon because you keep wanting to take a step but can't quite get it yet! You are quite the dare devil and you are into EVERYTHING! Mommy had to call poison control on you because you got into a home fragrance oil! Silly girl! You hate to be left alone and you always want to be held by mommy! You are finally used to daddy now and don't mind being with him and you smile so big when he gets home from work but you still prefer mommy. No stranger can talk to you without you crying...in fact unless you really know the person you won't let them talk to you without crying and clinging to me! You don't smile much for strangers...which is SO not like your sister! You are a lot more serious although no one can make you laugh like your big sister can and I just love to hear you two playing together in the back seat and giggling away! You have taken some beatings from your big sister and have had several battle wounds but nothing too major! you have two teeth now, both on the bottom. You are not nursing as well anymore but you don't want to drink anything any other way...you are stubborn. We are good to nurse 3-4 times a day. You nurse really good in the morning but then you get so distracted for the two mid day feedings and then sometimes you will eat before bed but if not I go in and nurse you before I go to bed just to get an extra feeding in there. You are doing so good at eating table food and eat pretty much anything I put in front of you as long as it isn't mushy! I don't know how you do it with only 2 teeth but hey you are happy so I am happy! You are in size 3 diapers still and size 9mth and 6-12mth clothes. You don't care for shoes or socks so you don't wear those much. You also hate any type of bow or clip! We are trying to get you to drink whole milk but you are not having it. I give it to you in your oatmeal everymorning and on your cereal when you have it but you will not drink it straight....until today....I have tried blending it with fruit, warming it up, etc and today I was a bad mom and put a baby spoon full of Nesquik chocolate powder in a sippy of milk...not even enough to change the color to brown but that little bit of chocolate flavor won you over and you LOVED it! I know I probably shouldn't have done that but I was desperate!
You are the sweetest, cuddliest little angel and i could just kiss your sweet face all day long! I can't get enough of you! When you smile it melts my heart! I love your precious little grin! You are mommy, daddy and sisters world! We can't imagine life without you and can't wait to see what your future brings!
