10 months old

HELLO PEOPLE!!!!

 I am now about 18 lbs! I lost .2 lbs because I am on the go so much I think. This is my new trick for month 10 of life. I love to pop my head up to say "Good morning Mom and Dada". Actually, I really do say "Dada". That was my first word ever!!! He was so proud of me! I also got out "Mom" but only in my yelling voice. :)

Speaking of new tricks..... I am EVERYWHERE now! I crawl like a monster is coming after me and I walk around holding on to any and everything. I can also push my toy car that Grandmama got me. It's a long day of chasing Laila in the Marshall house. I climb on things, crawl under things, and even try to nose dive off the bed! Here is one picture of me diving into the bottom of my stroller.

 

This month was Dada's first Fathers Day! You can see how we matched for church. Then, he wanted to take our picture beside his other baby, "the boat". He got to choose what we did for his day. He decided to just hang out, order pizza, and watch movies. It was a fun day with my family!

 

This was my first 4th of July ever! I went with Mom and Dada to see the fireworks down below our house on the beach. It was fun, bright, and very loud. I liked it though. Dada held me tight and Mom held my ears.

 

_______________________________________________________________

This is me and my Dada as you can see. We like to cuddle when he gets home from a long days work. We are both SO TIRED!!!  

This is me and my bff Chloe. We are  so silly climbing on the boat bean bags!



I also got to go up to Georgia and visit my family there. This is me and my GREAT NANA! Love her!!!


 

9 months old

WOW!!! I am 9 months old now!

I am 28" long and 18.2 lbs!

 

I had a lot of "FIRST" stuff so make sure you see the end for that list...... So far my daily routine is about the same. I eat, on the dot, every 4 hours. I have a bottle and some sort of food. It may be stage 2 fruit, vegg, puffs, cereal, or even some BIG people solid food. YUMM-O! I normally take 2 naps in the day. They are both rather short but my teachers Mrs. Zima and Mrs. Coughlin kept me on track. I will miss them both this summer. I finished out my FIRST YEAR OF SCHOOL at Keswick Christian. I will miss all of my friends there... Riley, Matthew, Lium, Kegen. See you guys next year!

 

May was when we also celebrated Mommy's first Mother's Day. You can see a picture of me with both of my parents above. Mommy and I had matching dresses to wear to church. We were so cute!!!

My family likes to go boating a lot on the weekends. Here is a pic of my family. We didn't being "Brother" Bentley this trip but we usually do. We go somewhere that I can float around or play in the sand. I have a baby life jacket I wear on the boat too.

This month I celebrated Daddy's birthday. Mommy made me a sign to hold up for him! I think he really liked it! My eyes are still blue as you can telland my hair.... well.... it's coming in slowly. I may be like Mommy was and just not have much until I'm 2! We'll see about that. As for now, it's blond and as cute as ever! I am LOVING my bath time! Sometimes I take a bath in my own tub and other times I use the big tub. As long as I have my rubber ducky, I'm good to go! I even got to take a shower already!!!

 I really enjoy my friend time. On the left you see me and Lilly out to lunch. This was also my first time sitting in a big high chair! On the right you see me and Lium at school. It was a tough day in the 1 year old class. We had to just skip the stroll and nap together.

So big!

 February was a busy month. The older I get the more I am able to do. Mommy and Daddy are in ahh at how fast I am growing up. I hear them say "it seems like yesterday when we were hopping Laila would just open her eyes". My schedule is pretty normal now. I normally take 2 naps a day. Sometimes I am really sleepy and nap for an hour and other times, I just want to see what's going on so, I only nap for 30 min or so. I still eat 6 oz. every 4 hours. I am eating my cereal for lunch and baby food for dinner, too. This month I loved trying bananas and peas!!!

YUMMY!

I did some really cool things this month... I had a sleep over with Uncle Justin and Aunt Allison, I am rolling over so well, I am trying to sit up but it's really hard, and I ate real baby food. I did not like green beans or carrots. I did like sweet potatoes and apple sauce.I also went to my friend Chloe's birthday party. She turned 1!

This month I had a lot of first! I can't wait to share with you what all I do next month! Life is getting so exciting these days!!! Mommy and Daddy are looking for a new house too. I love my room now but I'm sure I will love my new one too! I spend a lot of time in there rocking, reading, changing, picking out my bows and cute outfits, and even napping in my own big crib!
