I seriously CAN. NOT. believe that in just two short months my little smiley rambunctious girl will be one year old. Time is just a flyin by! There are so many changes going on in our house on a daily basis that it's hard to keep up with everything.
Reese has been taking some cautious steps between Jimm and I or between her grandparents the past few days. At times they aren't so cautious and she has compiled some nice bruises on her head from head diving into the floor or furniture! She sometimes forgets that she actually has to move her legs instead of just launching her upper body forward. :-)
I have seriously lost count as to how many teeth she has. She had three (two bottom and one top) before this last teething round and now I think she's up to 6 or 7. I actually purchased a baltic amber necklace for her to wear at the encouragement of a friend who has twins. She got them for her two girls after experiencing the nightmare of teething pains with two kids at the same time! I still can't quite tell whether or not it's working for her. I suppose I haven't been giving her as much tylenol or orajel, so that's a positive step! She has also been sleeping better which is awesome for mommy because when my poor girl is in pain she just wants to sleep right next to or on me.
Her and Ethan have a typical sibling relationship. One minute he's making her laugh hysterically and the next they're both crying. She loves her big brother and follows him around and always wants to do what he's doing. Last night they were on the floor play wrestling and she was laughing like crazy. He absolutely loves making her laugh!
Reese is going to be my stubborn child. Now, I guess I can't complain because evidently she gets that from me. If she wants something, you better get it RIGHT then or there will be hell to pay. When she decides she's hungry she wants food NOW. She's also going to beat her brother up. I guarantee it. We've already seen signs of jealousy and she's not afraid to retaliate.
Reese likes to bite. I realize she's only 10 months old and it's most likely because of her teething but the girl has some chompers! Holy Cow it hurts! She will be going in for a kiss and then open her mouth wide and take a bite out of your cheek if you're not careful. She also likes to bite knees, toes, arms, legs, stomachs...you name it we've all received a love bite from Reese :-).
She hates to lie down to get her diaper changed or her clothes changed. Hates it. Writhes that little body all around so you can barely get a grip on her.
She loves to take baths and splash! I think she'll be another water baby in Grammy's pool this summer.
She has the most contagious and beautiful smile and laugh. You can't help but smile or laugh back at her.
She definitely understands the game of "I toss my cup on the floor and then you bend down and get it and put it back on the highchair and then we repeat multiple times".
She loves to play peek a boo, pat-a-cake, and this little piggy.
Her appetite varies. I think because of the teething she has taken to eating crunchy foods so we're pretty much done with baby food. She'll occasionally eat applesauce, yogurt, or cereal as soft foods, but mainly she wants to self-feed and crunch. She also LOVES macaroni and cheese! Like literally will shake with excitement when I'm feeding it to her.
At her 9 month check up she weighed 21 pounds and was 30 inches. She is in the 87% for weight and 98% for height. She's doing great and ahead of most developmental tasks right now!
We are absolutely in love with our little girl. Happy 10 months beautiful!
