NINE MONTHS
whats new...(or not so new!)
LOVES
pool, her puppies, standing in the bathtub turning the knobs on and off (great fun for mom!), Hallmark Christmas in July marathons with mom😋, grabbing my straws out of my drinks, laying on her belly, playing in mom's makeup, cheese and rice from Three Amigos, snow cones, puts her hands in her hair every time she eats and wears it until the next bath 😖, prowling through the cabinets, standing under the table, her brothers, balloons, spaghetti, sand, baths
HATES
pool (it's a love hate relationship🤪), wearing a hat, being put down, wearing shoes, not a huge fan of her float, being put in her walker, being quiet in church
play & cognitive development
crawling like a boss! Pulling up like one, too🙃
She was walking alongside the couch this month and fell over getting a terrible carpet burn on her nose!
It was pitiful! Thankfully, it healed fast!
eat
We are doing more finger foods all the time and she loves everything!
Still nursing before every meal (and for comfort at this point).
I'm not going to lie, I will be heartbroken to stop-especially knowing she is my last baby. It has been such a precious experience with all three of my babies, but I'm trying not to think about it. It will be okay:). Isn't everything in the end?
sleep
She take one nap a day in the mornings. Occasionally she will fall asleep in the evening, but that is usually not a good thing for her bedtime😬. Tell me, what is it like to have a kid that always naps more than once a day?
sibling love
Bakie is a permanent nickname for her from her brothers. They are so protective over her and fight over who gets to sit next to her in the car and who gets to hold her:). However, I do predict her and Conley will soon be arch enemies. You heard it here first.

TEN MONTHS
many things are the same this month...sleep has been a big thing!!
sleep
She
has had somewhat of a regression lately, however, after we got home
from the beach, we discovered an ear infection in her right ear. She
had been pulling at it since her 9 month check up, but they said all
they could see was wax and she was too upset to clean them out. I
almost feel like she may have had it since then-so this could be the
problem.
I
started trying to get her on a schedule...but that has been a
challenge, and I stopped after we discovered the ear ache. I guess that
will come more with mothers day out as we try to mock that schedule on
her days at home with me!
sibling love
Conley
is getting much more comfortable and...ah hem...rough with her. I
really have to watch him these days. I don't think its purposefully
mean, I just think he wants to squeeze the love out of her...you know
what I mean? Cam is a great helper as always, except when he chooses to
scream and wake her 😬 My boys could out scream any girls.

Sweet as a Peach...
Because she totally is!
