Ave just turned 10 months on the 4th. Absolutely insane! My heart wants to explode. We just brought her home like yesterday, right? Jordy is always saying "she isn’t our little baby anymore, she’s a little human now" like she wasn’t one before or something, but I guess I see what he is trying to say. There’s something about her becoming a little girl that makes me want to press pause and leave it there forever. 

This past month, she has been absorbing everything! Her little personality is precious (most of the time). We have seen such huge leaps in her mental and physical growth. I can’t imagine her being any more fun than she already is, but I’m sure it will only get better. 

AVEREE 10 MONTHS

• loves the broom, and to get into moms piles of grossness as she goes
• gives big bear hugs when she’s sleepy
• stands up on her own and takes 3 or 4 steps at a time
• cruises around the furniture like its her job
• loves otter pops (thanks Kristie)
• likes to tell us what she thinks. when our ideas are not her ideas. when this kid can use her words, we are in trouble

LIKES: grabbing everything, throwing it down, and moving along. She loses interest quickly. avocados, leftover cobs for sore gums, patty cake (she knows when to clap, and when to put her hands in fists to “roll it”) being held, getting into every single cabinet in the house

LOVES: mickey mouse clubhouse, warm long baths, saying every word except mama, waving hi and bye, dancing, her car seat, her pacifier

DISLIKES: wiping her nose, face, hands… no wiping of any kind is acceptable, sleeping in her own crib (record crying 2hrs 10mins), being told no, changing clothes, when dogs get all up in her bizz-ness

TEETH: zero, nada. I’m starting to get a little worried that the kid is going to be toothless

TRAVEL: this month we hit Denver in the beginning for her first nationals race. She didn’t have such a great time because she got very sick and dehydrated. Then we made it up to our family cabin in Vallecito for a weekend away with the grandparents. Lastly she took her first camping trip outside of the belly for a five day trip in Silverton, CO for the Fourth of July! 

EATING: lots of veggies, pretty much anything mashed up that she can gnaw on with her gums

SLEEPING: still up 2 times a night only because we are disturbing her since she is still in bed with us. I know, big slap on the wrist! Transitioning this week to bed at 7:30-8:00 in her own crib!
