10 months

Well, hello there princess!

This last month has been a big one for you!

*You got your 1st big hair cut, creating a much less baby and much more mature look to coincide with your  demeanor.

*You have stretched out a lot, losing much of your arm and thigh rolls which is both exciting and sad to see at the same time.

*You have become much more vocal babbling as if you are naming things or bursting with random loud grunts, (usually during the most quiet, sacred times of mass, of course).

*You are pulling yourself up a lot (in your crib, on coffee tables, or doors) and moving those feet as you do so, definitely showing signs of wanting to walk.

*You have cut your 1st 2 teeth, on the bottom, with very little changes to your sweet temperament.

*You have started to groove to music which makes daddy and I laugh every time. You bounce a little with your body but mainly just swing your left arm from front to back. Awkward and yet so adorable.

*You are practically feeding yourself, be it, frozen bananas or grapes, turkey, rice, carrots or crackers which is both convenient when I just don't have 15 minutes to sit and spoon feed you but also makes for a big clean-up. 

*I must continue to repeat myself for the record but you continue to be an amazing night sleeper (averaging 12 hours) and take 1 to 2 great naps during the day! I am trying my hardest to appreciate this dearly and not hold it as the standard for all future Soto babies as I realize that is unrealistic and unfair but you sure do make it tempting. 

*You have made the adjustment of a new pregnancy a smooth one for mommy replacing nausea with this...

Although, initially I was hoping to get action shots of you such as your open-mouth cackle showing off those pearly whites or standing up or showing off the new things you have learned, these are a perfect illustration of you...

 Simply Sweet!

You are one beautiful baby, inside and out, and we love you so much!
