Everly 10 Months

Her little smirk!  This is pretty much the look she will give anyone who isn't mom, dad or siblings. She is such a stinker!

10 months already!  This girl is a fun one!  She is pretty attached to mom, but really all of my kids have been. She still goes to Eric, but has her days when even he is not good enough.  The kids by far still get the best reactions out of her.  She loves them!  She has 2 bottom teeth, and is working on more, but I'm not sure what will pop out next, more bottom or top, cause I can feel both coming.  So she has good days and bad days depending on how her teeth are feeling.  She has really started to love her blankets, and will play peek-a-boo with them.  She will bite on them when her gums are hurting as well.  

She will finally feed herself!  YAY!  It is so nice to just give her food and let her feed herself.  She pretty much only eats real food, other than her fruit/veggie packets.  She likes water, but will only drink it if I hold the sippy cup for her.  She loves the little puffs.  She won't eat just anything, she can be picky.  For some reason she won't eat real fresh fruits and veggies...she will eat any of the packets though.  She hates to be cleaned up from eating.  She will scream and try to wiggle her way out of it.  

She learned how to clap!  It is so cute to watch her do it.  She still isn't moving much, but she has scooted a little on her bum.  She loves to play with her feet and will lift her leg up really high while sitting.  She likes to take her bows off, but when you are a baldy, they have to just go right back on!   

She is sleeping through the night!  I moved her to Sienna's room a month ago, and it has gone really well.  Occasionally she will wake up, but for the most part sleeping through the night.  

We try to do two naps/day, but sometimes the morning one is really short when we have to pick up Camden from school, or go to church, or have soccer games on Saturdays.  Her schedule gets mixed up quite a bit, but we try. 

She still sits and plays with toys really well, and I have to imagine in the next month she will attempt to start moving more.  She watches the kids run around and be crazy, so we will see.  She is happy when she wants to be, but we love her and can't imagine our family without her!
