So late with this! Oh well. At least I'm doing it now, right?
Alright.
My girl is 10 months!
Ava is so much fun these days. She's so full of personality and has really developed a real sense of what she wants and what she does not!
Now, when I pick her up while she's playing with a toy she likes, or playing with something she shouldn't- she cries, throws her head back and stiffens her body and is basically so dramatic that I won't let her play with the toilet. Fun stuff. It is a little funny, and a little worrying- I thought tantrums were a thing that older kids did? Isn't she still just my babe?
Overall though, she really is a sweetheart. She still loves to cuddle and her face still breaks out into the biggest grin every time I come back into the room.
That face kills me.
This last month Ava has had three new teeth come in- in total, she has 7.
Sometimes she bites my toes when I'm sitting on the floor. It always makes me jump, and that cracks her up.
^^don't worry, we're going shoe shopping this weekend^^
Right before she turned ten months she took her first steps! She still prefers crawling, but every now and then she'll just stand up on her own and walk across the room.
For the most part, she really is a good eater.
She likes bananas, bread, yogurt, cheese, spaghetti, tortillas, and spinach smoothies. However, when she is done eating, she lets me know by flinging the leftover food across the room.
She also loves her sippy cup!
Ava loves to clap, and give high-fives. If she's in a good mood, she'll wave bye bye. She's still a little shy around people she doesn't know, but once she warms up she's all smiles and cuddles.
Our typical day starts out with a breakfast of oatmeal and fruit, followed by playing hard with her toys. After playtime, we read books and have a snack- usually yogurt- and then we'll head out to a park, or to meet up with friends. Ava will sometimes take a long nap after lunch. For lunch, she usually eats some cut up cheese and a spinach smoothie with some pieces of bread. Once Ava wakes up from her nap, she gets another snack-usually dry cereal- and then we go on a looooong walk. We break up the walk by stopping at the swings or stopping at the dog park. After we get home, she plays with her toys while I clean up and then she gets dinner- which is basically whatever I'm eating, just cut up in little pieces. After dinner, she gets a bath and pjs and some more book time and snuggles until its time for bed.
Can't believe I only have two more of these to do! This year is going by so fast!
Love you Ava sweetheart and love our days together!
