Ten Months Old

All of a sudden Lilah is doing a lot of new stuff, it has been a month of changes.  It seems like in the last couple of months she has changed the most, her personality has really developed and she is just so much fun and so very funny too.  This month has been kinda rough health wise, Lilah & I both had colds but hers lasted a lot longer, over 2 weeks - had her first ear infection & an upper respiratory infection.  Thankfully she is feeling so much better the past week and we seem to be on the road to having a healthy house again.

This past months milestones are....
~Crawling, she is all over the house and into everything now!
~Drinking from a sippy cup, we had been trying for a month & it clicked one night at dinner. She will hold a cup for herself, but won't hold her bottle (that's ok, more cuddle time for me!)
~Clapping & waving Hi/Goodbye
~Pulling herself up to a standing position
~Drinking from a straw
~No new teeth but I think there are some about to come through soon.

She loves watching Little Einstein's, Doc McStuffins & Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  Her favorite is Little Einstein's and when she hears the theme song she gets excited and starts clapping and she is slowly learning the hand motions; when they say raise your hands she does too.  Pretty cute.

Here are the out-takes.  It is getting harder to take these pictures, she doesn't want to sit still for them anymore.

Springtime Snow

It started very early this morning, our spring snowstorm.  There had been talk of it all weekend, but I was hoping it wouldn't happen :)....but it did.  Woke up to snow on the ground, the weathermen didn't think it was going to be a big deal the snow plows weren't even ready so the roads were pretty bad on the way to work.  Yes I agree the snow is very pretty, but I am just not a big fan of winter weather and we are ready for warm weather and being able to play outside with Lilah.

When we got home today Josh shoveled the driveway, when he was done wanted Lilah and I to come outside too...according to Josh "Sometime when you are an adult (parent) you have to do things you are not a big fan of like going out in the snow".  He had built a "Lilah-size" snowman and wanted to get some pictures of her with the the snowman. I failed to get pictures of Lilah during her first snow which was on Christmas eve, but at least we got pictures during her first winter.

Daddy working hard...

Not so sure yet...

"Ooooh grass!"

"This stuff is cold on my behind"

"I thought mommy said you were Lilah-size"

A little extra -

I was at the sink doing dishes and when I turned around this is what I say (glad I had my phone right next to me)

"What is in here?"

"Oh you caught me!!"

A little of this.....A little of that....

Things have been kinda quite in our house, nothing too exciting happening so I thought I would post some pictures of our life lately.

Since Lilah is on the move now (picking up some speed), we no longer have to bring the toys to her, she crawls over to them and gets out whatever she wants to play with.......and play by herself for quite a while too.

"mmmm what should I get out"

"What mom? I'm a little busy right now"

This is what happens when Daddy starts bath time -1st mohawk, pretty cute in my opinion.

Lilah absolutely LOVES to look at herself in the mirror and it is even more fun with daddy...

Finally this is how she prefers to sit in highchairs, she will also turn around the grocery cart so she can see where we are going in the store

Happy Birthday Uncle Gene!

On Sunday we went to Uncle Gene's Birthday, it was a surprise party.  He had no idea until he got there and saw that there were more cars than usual at Mom-mom Teat's house.  Everyone had a great time and enjoyed great food too.  The food is always the best at family parties.

Aunt Joyce's handiwork, she is very talented
