Evie is 10 months old and into EVERYTHING! She is on the go non-stop and she isn't even walking yet. Time is flying and she will be ONE in less than 2 months. I am loving this age though...She is so fun to watch and play with. She laughs at everything and is just so sweet. She will smile at anyone and waves bye when we say "bye-bye". She waves both forward and backwards. Every day she seems to do something different or new. She is constantly crawling all over the house and she loves to pull up on the furniture. She thinks it is the funniest thing when you stand behind the couch and lean over it while she is on the other side. We recently re-did our kitchen floor and Evie loves to crawl to it. She, of course, has fallen back on her head a couple times, which is so scary, but I know it's the first of many. Our kitchen is open into our living room so unfortunately we can't put a gate up to keep her out of there.
Evie is a growing girl. She weighs about 20 pounds now and is wearing 9-12 month clothes. She finally moved up to size 3 diapers! I am looking forward to the warmer weather because she has some cute spring clothes and I love seeing her little legs. She is still on the same feeding schedule and we have recently started giving her a lot of different foods other than baby food. She still eats baby fruits, but has other foods for dinner. Evie has had chicken, biscuits, bananas, pancakes, watermelon, squash, sweet potatoes and pasta. She wasn't crazy about the squash, but hopefully when we try it again she will eat it.
We unfortunately haven't been able to avoid the sickness around our house. Evie is just getting over her third and hopefully last ear infection. Until this weekend she has been sick every other weekend. Her ear infections cause her to throw up because of all the drainage they cause and she doesn't eat much at all. We can usually tell when she is getting another ear infection because she starts coughing and has a runny nose. We're hoping to not see these symptoms for a while!
Evie is "talking" all the time. She of course says "da-da" and "ma-ma". She just starting saying "geee"...whatever that means :). It is so cute to hear her babbling. We always talk back to her. She has quickly learned the meaning of "no" because of everything she is getting into that she shouldn't be. The minute we say "no Evie" she turns around and looks right at us.
I know I say this all the time but it is seriously hard to believe that Evie is already 10 months old. I am hoping these next two months slow down so I can enjoy my "baby" a little longer! I continue to count my blessings every minute of the day because of my sweet girl. She is so, so amazing and I can't imagine my life any different!
