10 Months Old (sniff sniff)

My little baby girl is 10 months old today. Time is just going by so fast. I just know that I'm going to turn around and she'll be 1. Then the next time I turn around, she'll be going to kindergarten. It makes me want to cry!

She is getting fast with her crawling. I can walk in the kitchen and 15 seconds later come back in the living room and she'll be all the way across the room and into something else. I have to say, I love it though. I don't mind picking up her toys 22 times a day. I just love watching her get into them and explore what they all do. She pick up a toy and it will make whatever noise it makes, then she will look at me with those beautiful blue eyes like, "Mom, did you see what I made it do?".

We have this baby doll that is supposed to be life-like. I got it when we were going to baby classes when I was pregnant. We had to bring a doll to a couple of them for demonstration purposes. I knew that since we were having a girl, the baby doll would get used a lot. But I never thought it'd be this soon. She pulls that baby towards her and hugs her and loves on her. She's so motherly already. LOL :)

Super Saturday

As we speak, little Lila Jane is snoozin' away. I'm sitting on our patio enjoying this beautiful day. I am pleased to say that this morning Lila slept until 7:15 and only woke up because I went in to check on her to make sure everything was okay. She heard me and woke up. BUT that was just fine, because she woke up in a great mood. This is the first time in about a week that she woke up in a good mood and stayed in a good mood. She's back to her normal self; that is, until her next tooth decides to come in. :)

Aunt Hannah was kind enough to come over and watch Lila while I mowed and weedeated. It needed to be done SOOO bad that the mower died seriously 15 times. I think the grass was a little high. :) Then Aunt Hannah left and Lila fought me for a nap, which is another indication that she is back feeling better. LOL

Tonight Neil and I are going to see.....HARRY POTTER! I have to adit, I'm kinda exctied. There was a time two years ago when he dragged me to see the Half-Blood Prince and I feel asleep in the movie. Now, even though I need me sleep and the movie doesn't even start until 10:00 PM, I think I can manage to stay awake.

I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the weekend! GOOD DAY!

Mr. T: TALL Teeth

The last few days have been plagued by the teething monster. This has been absolutely dreadful for us. It has been days of no-stop fussing, fighting, screaming, tantrums, loving on momma and dada, more screaming, etc.

All babies go through teething, but I feel like this has been extra hard for us because Lila hardly ever cries. She has been throwing more fits lately before bedtime, but really, she is a very happy baby. Not so much since about Thursday night. At some point in the middle of the night, the teething monster broke into our house (we didn't hear him) and sneaked into Lila's room and held her hostage. He's still holding the poor girl hostage until we can make this tooth pop through. Hopefully, this will be soon because we keep telling him he's not welcome in our house.

It seems to be coming in a little more everyday, but just not quick enough. After a fabulous 4 day weekend, Mom and Dad were not ready to go back to work, let alone have to struggle to stay awake at work. I decided today that it is like having a newborn again. Up every couple hours, the thing about the newborn is, usually they just want to eat and then go back to sleep again.

I think this post was really more like a venting place as I really haven't given you any good information. The next post (hopefully) will be that a tooth has come through and maybe that will be tomorrow. We can only hope. Thanks for you ears! Y'all are too kind!

Fireworks!

Happy (day late) 4th of July to everyone! We had a wonderful extended weekend fun-filled with activities at the lake with friends and relaxing on the couch. We made it out to see fireworks last night and Lila was amazed! She stared in awe the entire time! It was adorable.

Since Lila is now crawling and all over the place, I never know what I'm going to come into when I enter a room that she is occupying. The other day she had made it to the TV and was standing there staring...6 inches from the screen. She was quite ticked off when I picked her up to sat her down at a more optometrist recommended distance. I went back to the load the laundry and when I came back she had about 10 DVDs scattered all around her. She told me!

So last week, out of no where, Lila started clapping at me. I was astounded. We hadn't been working on this so I immediately texted the babysitter to she if she had done it for her and she said no. It's too cute!

The little crawler wants to walk really bad too, but seems to always forget that she can't even balance long enough to stand, let alone walk somewhere. Once again, this just ticks her off. She has found that she loves her push walker toy and can get to where she wants using it.

Lila has been sleeping pretty well lately, but can't seem to figure out how to sit and lay back down in the middle of the night when she wakes up. Today, she figured it out when playing so I'm hoping she can remember how she did it in the middle of the night the next time it happens!
