E is 10 months today :)

And as wonderful, clever, and as much a mess as ever!

Only 2 months till 1 year!!!!

The beautiful pics this month are thanks to Lisa Rappa Photography. Check her blog and site out her work is amazing!


I can't believe E is 10 months and she's acting more toddler and less baby like every day. She began today by yelling "Rawr!" at her big siblings while chasing them in circles around the living room. As sweet and smart as she is she definitely shows she can take care of herself. She also still loves to assert this by tackling her big brother. :)

At 10 months E is:

-Still walking (all the time and fast now), running some, and climbing security gates, couches, and anything else she encounters
-Saying all the words of the previous months plus several new ones she surprises us with daily
-Also can recognize family members in pics and points them out and calls out names (we figured this out with the pics from our photo session earlier this week and tested with other pics and she'll only do it if it's actually Mommy, Daddy, C, J, or herself)
-Picks up Mommy's phone and says "Hello" but so far only if someone hasn't spoke on the other end yet lol
-Is babbling and repeating anything and everything
-Has 3 teeth out but is also working on 4 more that have broke through but aren't completely out yet
-Is eating most "real" food that we eat (other than high allergens of course) along with formula and breast milk (we decided to supplement this month but are still doing well twice a day nursing)
-Loves to surprise us with what she can say and do
-Has taken up her big brother and Daddy's habit of falling asleep anywhere and everywhere
-Likes to draw on the magna doodle and will scribble with crayons but we have to watch to make sure she doesn't taste them of course
-Wants to be with big sister and big brother most of the time, until she's sleepy and wants to snuggle with Mommy or fall asleep at my feet (if she makes it that close)
-Enjoys baby dancing (bouncing, wiggling, and swaying to the music)
-Still the loudest and loves to make her presence known even when Mommy is doing lessons with C and J but is always happy and positive in her interruptions like she just wants the attention for a second and to cheer them on
-Is a drama queen, she doesn't do tantrums but will fake cry and put her head on the floor in front of her in a very "woe is me" pose if things aren't going her way then stop 2 minutes later when she realizes no one buys it lol
-Loves to drum and clap with music or in patterns after we play them, she also loves to drum to the baby in Mommy's tummy
-Still waving and now blowing kisses though she kinda sticks a finger in her mouth before pulling it out to blow the kiss to us lol
-Is constantly laughing and brightens each day

This stage is so much fun! And though it's bittersweet how close to a year we are I can't wait to see what the next couple months and years to come have in store. I'm sure E will continue to amaze and surprise us :)
