10 Months

My little baby Bria is 10 months old, not long before my baby is going to be a toddler. But I'm not going to think about that.

Bria has done a lot this month and I'm really enjoying this age:

• Crawls all over, loves crawling to MJ
• Pulls up on things
• Stands by herself for a few seconds
• Claps
• Touches her toes when asked
• Touches her ear when asked
• Raises her arms up when you tell her to or ask how big she is
• Waves hi and bye to people
• Has 4 teeth, 2 bottom and 2 top
• Says "mama" "dada" "tickle" (sounds like tooka) and makes all sorts of other noises
• Hates naps (I have resorted to googling this problem to find help)
• Started eating more real people food and loves it
• Doesn't like very many vegetables, only carrots and squash
• Scrunches her nose and breaths through it all funny like, it's adorable
• Wears size 3 diapers and 9-12 month clothes
• Is the light of her parents life

Bria is definitely a mama's girl right now. I think that may come with being a stay at home mom. She loves playing games with her Dad though, and I love the smile she gets when he comes home from work, no one else gets that smile. It warms my heart.

I was dancing like a mad woman to get her to smile, this was the best we could get:

"Ha, that's kind of funny mom."

Her napping is becoming quite an issue. I thought she was trying to go down to one nap a day but now I'm not so sure. It's a big fat guessing game and I suck at guessing games. She is only sleeping for an hour and a half a day at the most. I have tried everything I can think of, even when I googled it I had tried all the things the moms were talking about. Maybe she just requires less sleep then other babies.

"Pssh Thumper, what are you doing?"

She is such a cuddly baby and oh man I love it. Her hugs and kisses are what get me through the day sometimes, it's like she knows I need those. They build up my patience meter.

Happy 10 months baby girl!
