T-E-N months

and more fun than ever! Elizabeth brings such JOY to our lives, LOVE to our hearts and LAUGHTER to our home! We cannot imagine what the last year would have been without her... we have truly recieved the greatest gift this year!

I think I say this every month but, this month proved itself to be the most difficult photo shoot. My child will not sit still for longer than 2.2 seconds. This fact is proven below in pictures as the end product of her 10 month sticker is crumpled in her hand and didn't last long enough on her shirt for me to get a single picture (: 

SO, our afternoon photo shoot outside went much better than this mornings! I have the door outside decorated with lights and garland, and she loves to touch/play with it; probably the only reason I was able to get her to smile, but I'll take it!

She has to touch the garland each and every time we go in/out

being sick (unfortunately, we've been sick twice this month)

the word NO

can't think of much else right now?!?!

Elizabeth continues to wear size 3 diapers, although I think it may be time to move up soon. In most clothing brands, she wears a 12 month; we have a few items that are 18 month. She consumes 3-6oz bottles daily (ocaasionally more), 2 sippy cups and baby food for each meal. We have started giving her small amounts of table food and she LOVES it!! Apple juice is new this month too and she LOVES it! She takes one (long) nap daily and is pretty routine with her timing. She continues to sleep through the night unless she goes to Honey's and they play.. hehe. She is so busy, but so much fun!! I can't wait to see what develops over the next couple of months!! She continues to cruise, will stand alone for a brief second, loves to hold on to your hands and walk and is becoming less cautious... So we'll see-- I feel that walking is just around the corner.

I can't wait for Christmas this year! What a blessing we have recieved!!!!
