It is Emry’s “Golden Month-day” – meaning she is 10 months
old on the 10th! As if to prove that she is getting “soooo big!”,
today she wiggled and rolled her way (no crawling…we apparently have no
interest in that) from the living room where I left her into our little hall to
meet me coming from the bathroom. Not only that, but we had maneuvered our way
into the television stand to pull out the Wii remotes. I guess we wanted to
start our day out with a game or two…
Just in the last couple of weeks, we have accomplished some
grand milestones. We can say “Duck!” and “Hi!” We have hit our head very
soundly on a table, bringing a stunned looked followed by tears and even a
small bruise. We can clap our hands. When the dogs in the neighborhood start
barking, we become instantly alert and talk back at them. When Papa gets home
in the afternoon, we hear the door and start squealing and yelling for him.
Sadly, we have learned how to take away toys from other kids in Sunday School
and we had a moment of jealousy when Mama was holding another baby. But, most
excitedly of all, we FINALLY have a tooth!!!! It has been nearly two weeks with
her gums swelling with her two front bottom teeth and now one has finally
broken through! It is quite fascinating to rub our fingers, food, and toys over
this new thing in our mouth. And we LOVE to brush our tooth.
Now weighing in at somewhere around 16 pounds, 6 ounces and
stretching as far as 26 inches, we certainly have our own little joyful,
contented personality. And Ed has turned to me more than once and said, “Can’t
we just keep her this age forever?”
10 months old and soooo big!!!!
Mama, can you see my tooth?
Sock Monkey, can you see my tooth?
It used to be much easier to keep the sticker
on….
