10 mo old baby!

Kate and her bff

Kate has made it into the double digits...another month has gone by and now here we are, only two months away from her 1st birthday! Since last September, my life has completely changed 110% for the better and it's all that little babys fault ;o) Almost everything I do on a daily basis involves her and I love it! She's such a smiley, low maintenance kind of girl and we have so much fun together!

Coming through the tunnel at the children's play area at Fiesta Mall (side note: I walked this mall the day I went into labor to start inducing labor...it worked!)

No walking yet (I'm fine with that!), but she is crawling all over and pulling herself up easily on everything. We've upped bath time from every other night to every night. Poor girl is crawling around on the dirty floors I try so desperately to keep clean! (Trevor gives me no help) She also started to take little steps to grab a toy using the couch or tables to get around instead of getting down to crawl over. I installed one gate so far to help keep her contained while I'm doing stuff in the kitchen...but since they are the screw in the wall kind of gates I need to think about where the next one needs to go. She is attracted to the stairs so that is something to keep in mind! I don't leave her alone right now anyway when she plays...so there's always a watchful eye on her.

My beauty

She still has 8 teeth and no sign of any more but she's been drooling like crazy for the past few weeks. I've started to put bibs back on her because she'll soak right through her top in 10 minutes. I'm not sure what the drooling is about.  Her 8 teeth are coming in nicely. Pretty straight and bright white. I've been trying to brush them with little success. She will let me do the bottom ones but protests at the top ones which are the important ones. I've also noticed a couple tiny 'chips'. The top left and bottom very left ones. I don't think she's old enough for the dentist so the next time I go I'll just ask him. It's either got to be from her 'grinding' phase or chewing on one of the millions of things that go in her mouth during the day.

Having fun with her friends on our 'splash pad'

I've been thinking about her birthday party and have decided that the invitations need to go out this week! I need to make sure I give everyone plenty of time to put it into their calendars. I mean it's pretty much the most important day of this year!
