Katie Marie @10 months old.
Weight: 18lbs
Height: 29 inches tall.
Teeth: 7 teeth (four top three bottom)
Hair: Finally growing in and it is a pretty copper.
Favorite toy: anything that is not a toy. Paper, or cabinet locks in their package so far are the best.
Favorite activity: tie between patty cake and peek a boo.
Best friend: Currently the dogs. We don't have a lot of friends with babies around Katie's age that we see a lot ( I really want to change this soon, she needs some play dates)
She is so chill and social that she doesn't care who holds her, she's just content to be held and walked around.
Ok so my child is for the most part... Lazy. She hasn't had any interest in holding a bottle or feeding herself or even crawling since the end of time. I would see other friends kids at 7 months old feeding themselves and there Katie was just opening her mouth waiting for someone to feed her. Now out of no where she is holding her sippy cup(she still struggles sometimes), feeding herself, and moving around pretty fast.
Katie's bedtime is up in the air right now. usually by 9:30 she is down unless she has a early evening nap, then it is close to midnight. She generally wakes up once for a bottle in the night and then falls straight back to sleep until 8 ish. She gets a 6 oz bottle in the morning and then it's play time. She has her "breakfast" around 10:30 which consists of some type of fruit and oatmeal and sometimes cut up pancakes. After breakfast there is some play time with Mommy or Nana and then it is time for a nap. The rest of the day is pretty unscheduled due to the unpredictable daycare. She's either with Daddy, Nana, or Grandma during the day and each one has a different "Schedule" they follow. She'll get a lunch with some type of fruit, crackers, meat puree, and usually a veggie and then more play time and a nap in there somewhere before I pick her up in the evening.
Once home we play for a little bit then it is onto dinner which is usually a meat like Chicken, Beef, or Pork and a fruit or veggie and crackers. We end the meal with a toddler cookie which Logan covets.. He will sit at the side of her highchair and just wait for a crumb to drop. That's a whole other thing, dogs during meal times. I've recently had to move them out of the room during dinner. Katie has figured out that dropping her food over the edge of the tray and watching the dogs go for it is HILARIOUS. It is so much easier and less distracting to just move the dogs out of the living room during this time and then let them in for clean up.
After dinner we have a bath! Katie's favorite thing to do is splash in the tub. We generally use the Johnson and Johnson Bedtime body wash to help settle her down for the night. After bath time we get Katie dried off and lotioned up before putting on some cozy pjs then Mommy and Katie have story time. I am just now introducing her to Dr. Suss. Story time is hard though because little miss just wants to tear the pages. As a lover of books I refuse to let that happen. After a few stories I give her a bottle and if all goes well, she's then down for the night. She was teething last week so she was waking up about 30 minutes after falling asleep for some comfort.
She's a busy girl always wanting to be where ever I am. She is so mobile, crab crawling (to prevent herself from face planting on our wood floors) around, chasing the dogs or myself. She just started to pull herself up on objects to stand.
We got our Christmas Tree Saturday. It was fun having Katie play around and feel all of the trees. We got a short one this year incase we have to put it on a table top to keep Katie out of trouble. It is however still sitting at home undecorated since I can't find our lights that go on the tree. Daddy's gonna help me look tomorrow.

I did however take some cute pics of missy playing with some other lights.
One of her nicknames is Ms. Huh. She babbles but for the most part she says Huh? ALL THE TIME. It's pretty cute. She also likes to "talk" with her mouth closed tight. When feeding her solids she thinks it's funny to make the elephant noise and spit the food out.
I am so in love with my little girl. Even though she is going through a pinching phase which I am having a hard time dealing with. Parents if you have any advise on how to get your infant to not hit the face or pinch I would love to hear it.
She looks into my soul when she makes eye contact. She could be doing something naughty, like getting into the dog bowl, and when I say No she just turns around in shock, then smiles like she knows she's doing something she shouldn't be but she's doing it anyways.
