A Love that Grows Stronger: Lynlie is 10 months

OH sweet Lynlie is in double digits! 10 month!!! holy cow! I just can't take how fast this year is going...I wish I could keep her little for a little longer. I remember always feeling this way with each kid, but more so with Lynlie I think because I know more than likely she is going to be our last. I just love the baby stage and a huge part of me is sad to see it go.

So needless to say we have been soaking up as much of this baby stage as we can. I enjoy all the snuggles and extra love she still gives me. She's still not quite as cuddly as she was as a baby baby but she still loves to be held and I'm eating it up.

Here are a few of her milestones this month.

She is sleeping a bit better this month.

She will sleep for about 12-13 hours only waking once or twice usually between 2-5 am. but then will sleep until 9 or so
if she wakes up before 9 she is wanting to take a quick cat nap of 30 min or less in the mornings with a 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon

She is still nursing about 6-7 times a day and is growing with the amount of solid food she eats

veggie straws continue to be her favorite. She will usually eat most foods until she sees or someone gives her a veggie straw.
she will eat just about anything but when she can't chew it she like to keep it on the roof of her mouth--she mainly does this with meats.

She's not quite crawling yet, but she is scooting backwards

She loves to turn in circles. She will literally sit there and just spin in a circle, it's the funniest thing
She will also push up with her arms and then push herself back.
she will turn on her stomach and almost reach for things she wants.

she has 5 teeth. her two bottom ones and believe it or not her 2 upper canine teeth with one of her upper teeth. So very odd this child.
She continues to be a very happy baby. Always smiling at us

she has yet to laugh, like really belly laugh, I can sometimes get her to let out a little laugh when I tickle her but for the most part she looks very uncomfortable when she is tickled.

She loves when Adam plays the guitar. She will sit in her high chair and just stare at him as he plays...its so cute
she REFUSES to say mama. I will say "Lynlie say mama" and no joke she says "dada"

first kid to not say mama first!

She loves to play peak-a-boo

the older kids especially the boys, love to play with her.

She still loves the pool, not so much the sun screen but she loves the pool
She has started to shake her head no no no

The boys think it's the funnies thing and will try to get her to do it all the time. It really is quite cute.

She says yay by clapping her hands...so cute
She got her ears PIERCED!

the older kids were at a VBS for a few hours so I had a few hours just me and her, so I decided to go ahead and get them done. She did pretty good. I wish there would have been two people because the second one was a bit more challenging, but overall she did pretty good with it.

I'm not sure I love it. Lorelai had such long hair that it looked so cute, Lynlie has such short hair that it almost makes her look like a boy with pierced ears. I'm hoping it will grow on me...

She had her first 4th of July and enjoyed the fireworks quite a bit
She still loves to be held, and I unfortunately lost the ring sling I had so I had to buy another one and its still our go-to when we are out and about.
She is still in size 3 diapers
She is in size 9-12 month clothes
