10 Months

Getting into the double digit months makes me feel like Im losing my little baby girl to a bigger grown up version of our little Elsa. Well, she'll always be my baby girl, 10 just seems like such a big number for such a tiny little girl.

Happenings of our little 10 month old.

We started the month off with Christmas and New Years. Always a joyous time of year!!

Blake started school again and Elsa and I went back to our simple play at home all day routine. I love being able to be home with my sweet little girl.

We finally got a good picture of her two little snaggle teeth.

Since then, she now has her other middle bottom tooth and another just poked through up top.

 Elsa is getting very good a using her little teeth too. It's so cute to watch her tear and bite through crackers. Just don't get your fingers too close.

Babies in towels are the cutest thing in the world!

A friend of mine made Elsa a hooded towel, my new favorite baby accessory. We have a few of the store bought ones but they are so thin and I always feel that she's going to freeze before we get out of the bathroom. I love the one my friend sent us and had to duplicate it. Now Elsa's little buns can stay warm after a nice bath!

Our little white fang still loves to be with her papa. Although she gets a little too involved with helping out with the controller when playing video games.

This month Elsa went on another little road trip to visit her Great Grandparents in Etna, Cal.

We picked up Grandpa Thackeray and Uncle Slade in Reno on the way.

It was so nice to see and spent time with Great Grandma Elsie and Great Grandpa Bill. We love them so much!!!

Etna is such a cute little town. It was really neat to see where the Thackeray's come from and see all the history just driving around town.

Elsa got spoiled by Great Uncles.

Elsa is becoming quite social. At church she'll stand up on the pew and smile, giggle and wave to whoever is behind us. Her wave I have to add is probably the cutest thing ever. Her left hand does the open and close fist wave but her more active right hand does the Miss America all from the wrist wave. The combination of her Gooney smile and her Miss America wave melts everyone's heart.

Elsa loves to clap! All you have to say is "Yay!" and she'll clap up storm.

She still loves her tongue. Now when she sticks her tongue out little "ladle-ladle-ladle" noises come with it.

Elsa is our little jabber mouth. "Tuck -a- tuck" "dadada" "nanan" "LLLa" "raa-raa-ra" pretty much everything but mama it seems like. She reminds me of the little Ewoks from Star Wars. She even talks when she's crying.

Crawling just doesn't seem to be on her to-do list. She spends plenty of time on her knees reaching for things but if its beyond reach she'll sit back down or end up on her face over reaching. She can still scoot on her bum and she gets around just fine, can't get too far too fast that way, which is nice for me. We are not in a rush for her to be too mobile. She has conquered the walker she got at Thanksgiving. She can get into every little corner in that thing and fast.
Our family decided to end Elsa's 10 month with a bang... I mean barf. Elsa spent Monday night throwing up, saddest thing in the world. I spent Wednesday night throwing up and Blake got Thursday night. Fun times! We all spent the rest of the week recovering.

Life is so great with our little family and can't wait for new adventures!
