Double digits.

My baby is 10 months old and it doesn't seem possible. She's growing so fast and seems smarter by the day. 


Health: Avery is 17 lbs and about 27". She's still so small! She still wears a lot of 6 months clothes and some 6-9, even though they're still big. She continues to stay sick and we're having issues with congestion and her ears again. I'm so over it. And I know she has to be. She's such a little champ because if she's uncomfortable, you'd never know it. 

Personality: This girls kills me every day. Her personality is shining right now and it is fabulous. She's very social and loves people and attention like me, but at the same time has a bashful side like Darrell. Avery also has a little mischievous side. If we catch her getting in to something she isn't supposed to, she takes off "running"/ super fast crawling and laughing.



Eating: Avery loves food! She has seemed to cut back her formula and up her solid intake. She loves noodles, veggies, chicken, and carbs...like mama! She is taking her bottles at home in a soft spout sippy cup but still takes bottles at daycare. She loves to drink water from our cups so we got her a leak proof rim cup and she does so well with it. The girl can not get the concept of the straw to save her life. She'll get a sip every once in a whole but mostly she just gnaws on it. 



Sleeping: Sleeping is so-so and inconsistent. Her top two teeth are close to coming in so that and her being sick don't help. If she wakes up, it's only once and she's back down quickly with a small bottle. Her naps at daycare are getting better! 

Her favorites: Avery loves anything and everything that she isn't supposed to. She loves climbing the stairs (which we let her do with close supervision), putting her hands in the toilet bowl (which we do not let her do), opening and closing doors, riding in the stroller, being outside and taking baths. 




Things should could do without: Avery isn't a fan of strawberries, brocolli, or getting in the car seat. She still fights diaper changes. And let's just ignore the eye and ear drops... 


Milestones: Once again, so much!! Avery started standing up by herself and for longer and longer each time. She's definitely not walking, but she has taken a few small steps. She's clapping, saying so many more sounds when she babbles (including a few "mamama"s in there!!), and imitating "bye" occasionally. 


Big events: Avery went on two trips this month. One with just mommy to Greenville for Erin's bridal shower and a night with glamma in Asheville. We just got back from another trip to Asheville. 

Mommy: I'm doing pretty good. I still haven't figured out the whole working out thing in to my schedule but everything else seems to be balancing out. Life is good and I am one lucky girl!!
