10 months {tomorrow}

We're leaving for Seattle today, so i'm going to do the traditional monthly post a day early.

At 10 months Lilli...

Loves to spin on her bum. it's so funny to watch! {i'll try to post a video sometime}

Loves books, looking at them can keep her entertained for a long time!

Loves shoes, paper, electronics and pretty much everything else she's not supposed to have

is going through a stuffed animal phase. She loves to lay down and cuddle with them- it's so sweet

has 2 teeth

has free reign of the apartment (with the exception of part of the kitchen) and follows cason and i around wherever we go. I was vacuuming the other day and when i went in each room i would close the door behind me so she wouldn't get in the way. the whole time i was in there i could hear her tiny little fists pounding on the door!

squeezes through the kitchen chairs. she cries, but doesn't give up!

pushes doors open

still loves her binki

likes car rides

...and i have to go the airport now, so i'll finish this later!

punishment.

Yesterday, Cason confessed to me that he would be happy to have another baby.

Since then...

Lilli woke up at 4am in absolute hysterics (no idea why). We fed her, hoping she'd go back to sleep, but no such luck. Cason was up with her until 6am

at nine she woke up again, covered in urine. her jammies, and bedding were soaked! After a bath, she was SUPER grumpy! So i put her back to bed shortly after hoping she would wake up happier.

Again, no such luck. The entire day has been filled with crying fits and a poor attitude from that little girl.

Despite this, we made a trip to target to pick up a few things. Cason took lilli to the electronic section, and i headed to the baby section. About five minutes later Cason comes up to me and says we have to go now...because lilli peed all over him.

And...when we got home, the grumpies got even worse for her! Noot much has made her happy today...i'm wondering if she's feeling sick?

So...long story short, Cason no longer wants another baby. i think one is all we can handle right now!

in other news, we took Lillian to the pool at our apartment for the first time. She LOVED it! when we first got in, she really didn't react in any way, but it wasn't long until she was giggling like crazy! She's going to be a swimmer...i can tell!

{Sorry we didn't take any pictures...maybe next time}

...

I hadn't blogged for a while, so i thought i should! not much is happening...i've gone down to working 18 hours a week, which has been a great blessing! I'm lovin' all the time i get to spend with Cason and Lilli! They are so wonderful, and just about everything Lillian does puts a smile on my face! She's having a harder time with her two little teeth now and we've had to break out the baby tylenol, but seriously, even with a little extra fussiness, she is wonderful! i was laying on the couch today reading, and she just crawled up, sat down on the floor, and held my fingers for about 15 minutes...i loved it!

{We went and got pictures taken- she had a hard time sitting still, but we got some good ones. We didn't get this one printed, and now the more i look at it, the more i like it--it may even be my favorite! i'm trying to decide if i want to spend the extra money to get it!}

At nine months Lilli...

...

Crawls

Is extra tickilish when she's tired

has a {very loud} 'war cry'

clicks her tongue {sometimes all day}

Is starting to eat big people food

Wears size 18 month old shorts {she has big thighs}

Gets into everything

Has a new super whiney cry that she uses when she doesn't get her way

Loves diapers...she's always getting into them

Gets put in 'time out'

Loves to cuddle her stuffed animals

Understands the word 'no'

Weighs 21.2 pounds {80th percentile}

Loves books {eating them, mostly}

Rolls, wiggles, and sits up while we're trying to

change her diaper/dressing her

Kneels {she'll kneel at the couch and peek up at Cason and I while we're sitting on it- she'll also kneel and peek out of her crib towards her door when she wakes from naps}

Favorite sleeping position is on her back with her arms up, and both hands tucked behind her head

However, when i go check on her at night she's generally o

n her tummy, with her head the opposite direction than how i put her to bed, and jammed into a corner- i always move her back to a more comfy looking position though

Pushes your hand away when you tickle her, or feed her something she doesn't want

Lays down on her back when she sees a 'ba-ba' {she likes to feed herself}

Is getting her first tooth--she's been a champ though, she hasn't been very fussy, she just hasn't been napping as well

Still loves feet. She''l grab onto ours and move them around

Has the cutest, little happy personality!

More Crawling.

Crawling!

I got a call last night at work from Cason telling me that he thought Lilli was about to crawl! He told me that he put her in her saucer and wasn't going to let her on the ground until i got home.

{Such a sweet boy}

I was sick and actually had a replacement coming in for me, so i was able to leave about an hour later.

Sure enough, once we put Lilli on the ground, she crawled for us! She doesn't go very far, and she gets pretty distracted, but she's getting there!

{we are so excited!}

(we'll take another video once she gets better at it!)

Yogurt

{turns out Lillian does not like plain yogurt!}
