ten months new


well miss averie has been in this world longer than she was in my belly.  can't believe that.  i vividly remember all the complaining i was doing around this time last year.  pregnancy and summer heat waves don't mix. 

averie girl is getting to such a fun age.  i remember watching liam at ten, eleven and twelve months and being in complete amazement at how much and how quickly he learned to do things.  and how fun it was to watch and see the world through his eyes.  i'm starting to feel like averie is growing at an exponentially fast rate.  wasn't she just an itty bitty babe?  now she's crawling, standing on her own, and taking on the stairs.  hang on baby girl ... i'm not ready for this.

on the flip side i am totally loving seeing this girls personality.  she is such a happy happy girl.  her favourite thing to do is laugh and giggle.  at everything.  throwing a stuffy at the floor.  hilarious.  chasing her on the carpet.  has her in stitches.  she makes me smile all day.  everyday.  except when she's tired or hungry.  then she's a bear.  just like her momma.





ten month highlights

~  loves peaches, strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, cucumber, banana, yogurt, cheerios, avocado
~  does not like eating meat.
~  wearing 6-12 and 9-12 month clothing and size 3 diapers
~  loves her bath time.  we're now doing a bath every night.  has helped with her sleeping.
~  sleeping is up and down, some nights good, some nights bad.
~ still waking once or twice a night to feed, starting transition formula to hopefully end these.
~  officially has five teeth, three upper and two lower
~  weighing in around seventeen pounds, had to weigh her at the pharmacy
~  went to the pharmacy for her first antibiotics because she had her first ear infection.  boo.  poor girl has been sick way too much.
~  wants to play with everything and anything that liam has.  he hates this.
~  hates, and i mean screaming kicking flailing hates, being put into her car seat.
~  loves snuggles with mommy and daddy.
~  has some "words" mum mum mum, and directed at me.  and da-dee, directed at rob.

in less than two months baby girl will be a year.
looking forward to the fun things ahead.
walking, running, learning to talking, no more late night feeds.
and sleep.  looking forward to sleeping through the night.
what does that feel like again?

  1. It's pretty terrifying how fast these little girlies are growing up on us, isn't it? And I feel the same about this stage, they just get so fascinating. x
