You are ten months old! That's two months from a whole year!! It's crazy just how quickly these past months have dragged on!
You made a few changes between your ninth and tenth month. Awesome and adorable changes, I might add!
On May 1st, you cut your first tooth!
On May 9th, you cut your second tooth!
On May 23rd, you slept thru the night for the first time since November! Praise the LORD!!!
On May 25th, you pointed and said a word similar word to look. It sounded more like "lick" but was clearly intended to be "look"...but now that I think about it, maybe you were saying lick. You do love to taste of everything. You also clapped with both palms open instead of one palm open and one closed. You sat your self up, unassisted. And the biggest thing you did was CRAWL!!!
It was so funny, you were playing your daily game of fetch with Dominick (exercising him), you threw the ball and he didn't retrieve it-busy I guess. You yelled at us to get it for a sec but we were all busy, chatting and doing our own thing. You put yourself in a crawling position, hesitated (by this time we were all sushing each other, watching you) and crawled over to your ball. You picked up the ball with your right hand and sat your self back up. It was that easy. It's so crazy. Sweet girl, you take your time reaching your milestones. But when you're ready, you're READY!!!
On May 25th, your tenth month birthday, you had you're first experience at the lake. You loved staring at the water but HATED touching the water! You thought it was horrible! Dearest baby girl, we will have to work on that because your Mommy is a duck! We love water! You happily sat and piled sand on our beach towel for two hours! You wanted to put everything in your mouth!...and I kind of let you (my bad). I was hoping that you would find the taste of beachy nature pretty distasteful, but you loved it!! Sticks were yummy, pine cones were yummy, towels were ok, sand was delicious!!! I think you would've sat and played all day, but Big sister Buggy was freezing to death and tired and cranky and miserable and Big Brother accidentally kicked a rock with his already possibly broke toe and Big sister Devan started being a bully to the injured brother, so we decided to pack up and leave before you found drama of you're own. (:
Dani, I love you so much. You are such a blessing to our family. For years, I had an ache in my heart, a hole that could not be filled. I knew that something was missing-someone was missing, and it was YOU! I love you. You complete me-us as a family. I love you're big blue eyes that are shaped like mine but are the same color as Daddy's. I love you're ever changing hair color and girl, let's talk about those curls! Oh my! When I was a little girl, I planned to have three daughters, all with unmanageable locks of curls. Fast forward 19 years later to Devan-straight haired Devan who pulled all of her hair out when Brother came along. FF 21 years to Dominick-boy with an afro...boy. FF 24 years to Diamond-one curled Diamond. Dani, by the time you came along, I had given up on the curl thing and just prayed that you wouldn't be bald for two years like Diamond. We go lucky! Baby, you have curls! Lots of them!
That's all, sweet baby. Mommy loves you! xoxox
You're an awesome mom girl. I always read your posts and it puts a smile on my face!! I know without a shadow of a doubt that your babies, all of them, are loved beyond measure. And Dani is absolutely precious! :)
