Blakely 10 Months

Yes, I know…I am 10 days…oh wait, 12 days late and by the time most people read this 13 days late on this post.  But what can I say, time flies with 3 small children.  I literally forgot she was turning 10 months, it seriously goes by way to fast.  Remember this tiny little baby girl?

Well…she's long gone

She wears 18 month clothes, the outfit in the picture is a new 18 month outfit, 12 months is a squeeze.  She is in size 4 diapers and 5 at night.  I haven't bought her any shoes, so I have no idea what shoe size she wears.  We always have a hair accessory…cuz come on, it's like icing on the cake.  

She crinkles up her nose when she laughs and has 6 teeth, 2 bottom and 4 top (which haven't dropped all the way)

She pulls herself to stand with everything and can stand momentarily without support.  

She likes to walk while holding your hands and has taken 2 steps while remaining balanced

(believe me, I am in NO HURRY for her to start walking…)

She takes 4 8oz bottles a day: morning…mid morning…afternoon…night time

She holds it herself until she gets tired and then wants to rub her face

She eats anything, I really have to watch what the boys give her and tell them not to share food with Blakely, like popcorn.  Tate really likes to give her random objects, I am constantly checking her mouth…but more often than not, it's just a lonesome piece of cereal that stuck to her butt.  She eat breakfast, lunch and dinner:  She loves blueberries, green beans and peaches (mixed with cinnamon and cereal, which I call baby peach cobler)

She is pretty much into everything…as you can see.

She climbs stairs, one of the boys left the gate open on the stairs and she climbed and tumbled down, so we have to be extra careful.  Luckily she only gets 2 or 3steps up.

She is still scared of the vacuum (which is strange, cuz the boys loved the vacuum, they chased it, which made it hard to actually clean)  She cries and tries to sit behind me

She loves her pacifier and she doesn't care what pacifier it is…she just wants one.  She tries to take others baby's pacifier also…you know just to try something new.  Besides the vacuum, she is really fearless, I think it's mainly loud noises that she doesn't like.  

She is definitely a silly little baby.  She likes to giggle and make others giggle.  as you can see in the background, riley taught her this trick.  The boys ROAR! at her and she ROARS! back.  She laughs at people burps…(sorry mom) and laughs at piggy snorts.  

She is really full of personality, and is starting to mimic words we say like: Hi, dog and yum yum.  She is IN LOVE with her daddy…she gives him lovey eyes every morning to sucker him into one more kiss…it works.everytime.  She is LOUD!!!!!!! She DEMANDS to be fed and gets thoroughly irritated if she is not eating what we are…sorry baby, you can't have fried chicken yet.  

She sleeps from 

7pm-7am

9am-11am

1pm-4pm

THANK GOD!

You know when she is up, she lays in her crib and sling shots her legs in the air and kicks as hard as she can down on the mattress, which makes a big BOOM!  She thinks it's funny.
