Ashley Rae {10 Months}

This is Daddy's most favorite way for me to fix your hair. He calls it the "Pebbles" look and he requests it for you daily : )

Oh my Ashley Rae, we love you so! This month has been especially fun as you are expressing yourself more and more. You are a delight of a girl!

• This month has brought three more teeth for a total of six! While teething has been uncomfortable, it has produced the cutest little gap between your front teeth - I adore it!
• Your expressions are pure joy. Wait. You have only one expression - a sweet, little girl smile. Onlookers stop me constantly to admire your smile and your beauty.
• Your favorite new trick is to throw toys out of the crib or pack and play, you never tire of this fun game! And you have also discovered a new way to win over the hearts of two dogs and it's finger-lickin' fun!
• You are still crawling and cruising and a handful of times you have attempted to "let go" - it won't be long until you have the confidence to take off!
• I finally decided it would be a good idea to feed you more than one solid food meal per day, since you were hungry through the night - so now you eat all three meals with us, but still nurse four times a day. But nursing does not equate cuddle time. You thrash and kick and play - it's about food and that's all : (
• You are learning to perfect "bye-bye", "mamma", and "dadda" and you do those really well.

At your check up this month you weighed in at 18pds (40th percentile), your height was 29 1/4" (82nd percentile).

You, my dear, are pure joy. We delight in the good gift of you.
