10 months and lagging

she’s 10 months and i am lagging. i didn’t get my ‘money shot’ of her when she turned 10 months this jan 1st and i am okay with it. this year is off to a very ‘laggish’ start. we took her to the doc today for her 9 month check up- serious lagging! she didn’t get any vaccines but got a flu shot! let’s hope it works! since the stomach flu from hell got hold of her at christmas, she didn’t gain very  much weight.. doc wants to check if she gains within the month. i think she will. because she is in FULL FORCE SNACKING MODE!!!!

totally makes a MAD DASH for anyone who has food. is all about her "hi’s!" when she sees someone with food. especially dad. always a ‘hiiii daaaaa!!!’ for him. love that she says that so much. so friendly. likes to look at people, and maybe reach out for their faces.. but she is still very much attached to my hip. totally in love with our entertainment center. dad got a new tv and already finds evidence of little fingers all over the bottom of the screen. 🙂 hides out behind the living room curtains. completely demolishes any board games we are in the middle of. starting to only nap twice a day.. sometimes only once…eeeeeeeeeeeeek! standing up assisted lots. still very much a fan of bananas, pears, apples and maaaaaaaybe sweet potatoes. will eat peas if they are not in baby food form. starting to get tired of rice— WHAT?!!!! 🙂 finds her way into our bed by 3 AM. up anywhere from 6-730. knows how to "dance" to music. will do this really funny fake cry when she wants my cell phone. broke my last cell phone and has lost all phone privileges. she’s 16 lbs 9 oz, 27 inches long. has taken her first metro ride to chinatown.

love that caleb is wearing his australia shirt on the chinese bench. 🙂 widdle bit of symbolism. 🙂
