T - 8(ish) Weeks!

Before I get into what I really wanted to post, take a look at what is going on right now...Loralye is in her walker next to my chair and is trying to eat the buttons off of the cardigan that I'm wearing. I was kinda hoping that I could skip the whole "finding inedible objects in her diaper" phase. Darn Target for the tasty looking buttons they put on their clothing!

Well, baby girl hit her 10 month mark on Monday! Where has the time gone? She's growing more and more everyday! I've talked to many women that get SO sad that their children grow up and turn into adults and don't stay babies forever, but I really don't think that I'm going to be sad about my daughter growing up. It's weird to me that the time has gone by so quickly, but I'm okay with her being 8 weeks away from her 1st birthday. There's nothing like having a newborn in your home, but there's nothing like having a 1 year old in your home either. And that can be said for children of all ages! I'll have more newborns when the time is right and they'll eventually all grow up and move on and then I'll get more babies in the form of grandchildren! That's life and I'm excited for every moment of it :D

ANYWHO... I got a text from my mom yesterday who was sadden by my lack of 10 month old pictures on here, so here you go mama! Love you!!

At work on Monday...

Eating breakfast. She's not always happy about being at work. In her walker.

"Look at my cool toy, mom!"

The best part of the day is when daddy visits :)

Back at home just in time for dinner!

She's a little excited about being a mess.

The latest trick... I have been trying to teach her this one for a few months and it finally caught on this last weekend!

TOUCHDOWN!!!!

She reminds me of me here when I get half way to work and have a "Doh!" moment. I'm usually thinking, "Dang! I can't believe I forgot to _______ before I left the house!" Usually "turn on the dishwasher" or "grab my lunch" or something like that fits into the blank. I don't have the best memory.

She's a sweet little angel even when she's covered in tomato sauce.

Hooray for being clean again!!

She loves splashing in the tub! I can't ever stay dry during her bath time anymore.

This girl really knows how to turn on the water works! She's practicing to be a 2 year old.

And 5 seconds later, she's as happy as can be.

I feel like such a bad mom when I find her like this... I need to not blog right before nap time. She falls asleep without making a fuss and I don't notice her until I'm done with my post!
