10 Months Old

Happy 10 months to this little bundle of joy!  You are something else, Vivian Rose.  You have a little spit fire in you.  

You are crawling super fast.  I call you 'Speedy Gonzales' because you are so quick. One minute you are next to me, the next you are gone!  You are pulling up on everything insight.  Bath time is now a challenge since all you want to do is pull-up then flop on your bottom.  You do this repeatedly. You have very little interest in your bath toys.  Getting you ready for bath or changing your diaper is like a wrestling match.  You can't stay still!  I have to change you or lotion you up while you are on the move.  Mommy gets a good little workout each time.

You are an early riser.  You wake up every morning around 5:30-5:45 happy as can be.

   

 We've changed your nap time to 8 am and 2 pm.  We've made the habit of napping on the couch with Mommy.

 

You love to help Mommy with the laundry.

You are obsessed with the computer, cell phones and power cords.  Mommy can barely talk on the phone without you grabbing it.  You also love getting into the tupperware cabinet.

Some days I have to put you in your pack n' play to contain you!

Other days you are the sweetest little cuddle bug.

You say, 'Mama' all the time.  So cute and sweet.  Music to me ears!  You also have the cutest happy squeal/scream.  I love it!

You love feeding yourself.  You always want to take the spoon away so you can do it all by yourself. You love yogurt, cheese toast (Ezekiel 4:9 bread), citrus fruit (especially mandarin oranges, aka 'cuties'), cucumber, spaghetti.  Mommy is starting you on all whole wheat, no white stuff getting into your tummy.  I puree somethings, but you primarily have 'real' food that I will steam to soften the texture.  

You love riding in your 'big girl' stroller.  So happy you are big enough to fit!  Also, we can now take longer walks vs a short spin around the block.

You have two bottom teeth, but you are starting to cut two of your upper teeth.  They are barely poking through.  

I wish you can stay little so we can dress alike.  I know once you get older you will want nothing to do with it.  I am taking full advantage!

 Mommy and Daddy loves you oh so much!  You are such a joy and we will love you always and forever!
