Our summer in pictures part 1

Okay I have been wanting to do this forever. I let my blogging take the back burner this summer because I was super busy and didn't make it a priority, but I want to get back to posting more because I love it. I have posts in mind, but I can't do those until I do the ones from this summer. SO this post is going to be our summer in pictures so I can move on to what is going on now.  Be prepared for picture overload, but I thought this was the best way to get it done. Here goes...

Ten months

Weight: 19 pounds 4 ounces

Milestones: Says mommy, daddy, baby, bye bye, hi, ball, and I kid you not she says "abbey" and "abigee" for Abigail...I am babysitting the neighbors little boy and he says abbey all day long so she picked it up. I will post a video below. This girl is verbal! Learned to climb stairs. Took 2 steps...will be walking any day now. Found her belly button haha. Blows kisses. Learned to take her diaper off...uh oh. When my husband goes to work she walks around with her push walker saying "daddy bye bye" its so cute. 

Favorites: Bath. She has started liking cuddling a lot more lately. Climbing on everything. Pulling clothes out of her drawer. 

Not so favorites: Her carseat. Wearing bows :( she rips them off in .2 seconds. Bedtime. 

Happy 11 months to my little girl today. I love looking back at the previous month while I am writing these. Where did my little baby go? She is turning into a toddler right before my eyes and while it is really sad I love it. I get to see her personality bloom and she is so much fun. I love just being around her. She can always put me in a good mood no matter how bad of a day I am having. She is learning things so quickly. I will post 3 videos below that are just too cute. I am so excited for her first birthday, but sad that family lives so far away. I am in party planning mode. Until next time ;)

Nine months

Weight: 18 pounds 2 ounces

Milestones: Rolls her hands for patty cake. Testing standing on her own...lets go of things and stands for about 10-20 seconds. Walking with a push walker. Started dancing to music. Tries to sing when we sing. Drinking through a straw. Blows raspberries on my stomach. Feeds herself with her fingers. Started pointing at things she likes. 

Favorites: Bath as always. Being outside. Eating fruits and veggies. Turning off the TV when her daddy and I are watching it. Shaking her head yes when I tell her no. Drinking out of her cup. Reading books. Tearing up paper. Walking with her walker. Playing ball with mommy and daddy.

Not so favorites: Getting her nose sucked out(She has had a cold). Bedtime. Carseat. 

My little girl is ten months old today(excuse me while I go cry in the corner) Ha! But seriously..where has the time gone? She will be a year in two months and I cannot even believe it. This has been the best ten months of my life. She has such a beautiful soul and she teaches me to be my best self everyday. I hope that we are best friends as she grows up. I hope she knows how much I love her. She makes my life complete.
