Ten Months!

Anabelle turned 10 months old last week. We can't believe we're already planning a birthday party for her! This month has brought an incredible amount of changes for all of us. Anabelle is crawling everywhere, pulling up on anything she can, standing at the couch, her toybox, her playtable, etc, and even beginning to walk along the side of the furniture. Yikes!

She is so bubbly and full of life. We love listening to her jabber nonstop! She has most of the consonants down, loves to say "dada" and has just started saying "ticka ticka." It's precious to hear her little voice. My favorite is to watch her in her carseat. She raises her eyebrows and moves her mouth like she's talking, but no sound comes out. I'm pretty sure she has imaginary friends!

She's eating every food imaginable. Although, lately, she won't eat much at any meal. She's still super "healthy" and plenty happy, so we aren't concerned. She has been through 5 rounds of antibiotics for ear infections since Christmas so we met with an ENT finally. After an evaluation, we decided she needs tubes in her ears. April 1st is the date, and we're hoping for a little girl who feels great all of the time and one who naps like an angel!! (Wishful thinking??)

On top of ear infections, she's popped out tooth #7 this month, and #8 is bursting at the seams. That makes four on the bottom and almost four on top. No wonder she can eat anything! I'm afraid we're about done with cereal and baby food because she much prefers feeding herself whole food. But that's perfectly okay, and usually much easier on me.

We are having so much fun with sweet Anabelle; which makes us so excited for whatever comes next. We're hoping to buy a bike seat and a swingset soon to teach her how fun spring can be! A baby pool and swimmies for the big pool are in store for her birthday because summer will be amazing with our little toddler!

Right now, we will just enjoy our quick crawling sweetie at 10 months old!
