Life with Little Al: June 2016

Our darling is ten months old! WHAT?! That means it's time for me to start planning her first birthday. This is really not funny. Time is flying!

I haven't updated my blog in a while so I am going to update for nine and then ten months today. She will be 11 months on the 22nd.

9 months: She had her 9 month check-in on April 22nd. Luckily, she did not have to have any shots for this appointment. She weighed 16.4 lbs and was 28 1/2 inches long. She also cut her first tooth (front bottom right) on April 5th. She cut her left bottom tooth just about three weeks later. She started to test her balance more during this time too by letting go of objects supporting her while standing. She said shit constantly during this month. I promise we don't use this word on a regular basis at our house. It was just a sound she made. She also loved clapping and waving at 9 months!

10 months: I'm not sure of her exact weight but I weighed her with myself recently and I'd say she's between 17 and 18 lbs. She now has four teeth (she cut both top teeth on May 26th). She even tested them out by biting me while nursing a few times. She'd smile up at me deviously while doing it too. Luckily she hasn't been doing that lately. I sure am going to miss that adorable gummy smile though! Once her front two teeth came in, she didn't want anything to do with the pacifier so I guess I won't have to deal with trying to get her to stop later on! She's in mostly 9 month and 6-12 month clothes and size 3 diapers. Her eyes are still blue and her brown hair is getting lighter by the day; sometimes in the sun it looks strawberry blonde. She's also developing some curls in the back but we haven't seen much growth in the front so she is currently rocking a little mullet. She's taken 7 steps but isn't quite walking on her own yet. She's also stood up by herself without holding on to anything.
