Sooooooo happy

Caroline will often ask me if I am "sooooo happy." Today I was watching my two girls play together and I couldn't help but think about being soooooo happy. Three years ago I would have been sitting at a desk at I job I didn't like working for a boss who I didn't like even more. Fast forward to today and I am at home with two beautiful girls - singing, painting, reading, dancing, playing, and laughing. Yes, Caroline. Mommy is "soooooo happy." And I have you girls and your daddy to thank.

Ten Months Old!!!

Ten Months Old - February 20, 2013

I realized that my girl is only days away from being 11 months...this post is a little late. 

Several days ago my sweet Ann Parker turned 10 months old!!  How is she this old??  We are having so much fun with our smiley, happy girl.  She is almost always smiling or laughing, except when she's hungry, tired, or teething :(  Her little personality continues to develop each day and we are just in awe of this little blessing.

She is still wearing a size 2 diaper but I think I will move her up when this box of diapers is empty.  She wears anywhere from size 0-3 month stuff to 12 month stuff depending on the brand, but usually 9 months.  She is currently in a size 2 shoe.  She is still sitting in her pumpkin seat, but soon she will be moving to Caroline's Recaro and Caroline will be moving into a new Recaro!  Big girls!!  Speaking of big - AP can stand up by herself and then stand unassisted for 20-30 seconds at a time!  She constantly wants us to walk her around holding her hands.  She'll be taking off before we know it.

Ann Parker goes to bed about 7:15 and will wake up around 6:30.  We have had a horrible stretch lately where she will get up at 4:30.  Not sure if it was teething, congestion, or what but hopefully that is gone.  She will either take a 1 hour nap or several small cat naps throughout the day.  She seems to like morning naps the best.  She eats 5-6 oz. at each feeding, every 3-4 hours.  She is eating 3 meals plus a snack or two each day as well.  She gets mostly baby food, but we have been introducing her to table foods and she is doing great.  She has tried banana, bread, cheese, blueberries, crackers, turkey, crunchies, cheerios, eggs, avocados, peas, broccoli, pasta, frozen yogurt and a few other things that I cannot recall. 

She loves bath time, swings, Caroline, Daisy, story time at the library, trying to walk, any kind of ball, any toy that Caroline is playing with, her ball pit, her chicken and egg toy, her gear toy, and being outside.  The wind makes her laugh, which I find adorable.  I hope it's windy every day :)

She is such a happy girl and we love are so crazy about her!  Happy 10 months precious Ann Parker!!  Mommy, Daddy and Caroline love you so much!!





Too adorable for words!
