10 MONTHS!

August 3rd 2010

 

This morning I let Allie have one of my mini chocolate chip muffins (with the fresh milled wheat so it is "healthy") I think she got more of it on her and enjoyed making a mess more than she actually ate it.  Her favorite food is now blueberries.  The girl would eat them every minute of every day if I had enough blue berries to give her.  She picks through the fruit I give her and eats them all then whines for more.  So I now have to give her whatever I want her to eat first and then give her blue berries.  She is now on about 50% table food and 50% baby food.  She regularly eats peas, green beans, blue berries, grapes, strawberries, bananas (sometimes), bread, cherrios, corn, potatoes and SOMETIMES chicken.  SO we are getting there.

  

After her morning nap I did her traditional photo shoot in a dress I made for her the week before.  Because she is SO active it was hard to get a good shot but these show her personality so they are fun :)

  

Allie, 

I didn't think that you could have any more personality and then again this month it multiplies.  You have become so curios you love looking at things and discovering how things work.  One of my favorite discoveries by you this month is that you have figured out that the rubber ducky (pictured above) "quacks" when you squeeze it.  You love to squeeze it and just laugh.  You are so close to walking baby.  You will stand by yourself as long as you don't know you are standing by yourself and you can go SO fast around furniture but then drop and do your version of crawling where your left knee NEVER touches the ground.  You have cut 2 teeth on top and 2 more on bottom so you have a total of 7 now.  You have really gotten into toys this month you always have to have something in each hand.  You love other babies and get very excited when you see your friends Cannan and Cash.  You are over 22 pounds so we had to move you to your big girl car seat this month.  You think you are big stuff in there.  You are becoming more affectionate especially with your daddy.  You hear when he puts the keys in the door and you stop whatever you are doing and get as close to the door as possible and then squeal whenever he enters the room.  He loves that :)  You have started waving bye bye and can say HI.  All in all I just can't believe how big you are getting so fast.  We are already planning your first birthday party and I can't believe this past year has gone so fast.  I love you baby girl.

 

On a not so fun note.. this month you got really sick for the first time.  You had a sinus infection and you were pretty pitiful for about a week.  You couldn't sleep well which means mommy and daddy didn't sleep well either. Your nose was like this for a whole week no matter how much we used the nose sucker (which you HATED)

  

Through it all you stayed your happy self.  However you would play hard and then just fall asleep only to get up a few minutes later to play again and you only wanted to sleep in your mommy and daddy's hands.  This next series of pics where in order in a matter of about 5 minutes

  

We are all glad you are feeling better and back to normal.
