Hi there!

Time is going by fast!  I'm such a happy little girl and my sister is one of the biggest reasons for that!  I love watching her twirl around, play, sing, dance and I especially love it when she plays with me.  She is such an awesome big sister.  She shares her toys with me, likes to tell me I'm beautiful and cute, comes to my bedroom when I cry and fills my crib with her toys so I'll stop crying, and even likes to hold me sometimes.  I love her lots and I can't wait to get grown-up enough to play with her.  I think we'll have a lot of fun together. :)

This month I've been suffering a little bit.  Apparently I have had big issues with digesting the new food I'm trying and now I can't poop! That's right... so I'm back to 90% breastmilk and that's still not helping much.  I learned how to suck my thumb so now I sleep through the night!  That's right, I sleep through the night MOST NIGHTS and my mommy is so happy!

On another note, I am insanely cute.  In fact, every day I get cuter and cuter.  I'm also so in love with my mommy.  Just looking at her makes me smile and that makes daddy a little jealous!  I'm almost sitting without support and I will grab anything and everything that is within reach.

Here are some pics:

10/10/2010 - 11/10/2010

Hello world!  I'm officially a quarter of a year old! :)  I'm very independent now and I sleep all by myself in my room... no need to have mommy beside me anymore now that I'm a big girl!  I also got earrings this month and now I look even prettier than before, if that's at all possible!

I also learned to roll over and I'm very aware of my surroundings.  The highlight of this month was that I started eating some real food for a change...well, not really EAT since it's such a tiny amount.  I'm not a big fan of it yet but as I watch my big sister I noticed I have to eat veggies and fruits in order to move on to candy and chocolate.   Although, I did have my very first taste of chocolate a couple of weeks ago.  My mommy was having a tough day with me not wanting to nap and all so she grabbed a handful of chocolate chips and one fell in her shirt so when it was time for me to have some milk I got chocolate milk instead of the plain kind.  It was yummy ... I had a little bit of a tummy-ache but it was SO WORTH IT!  :-)

I'm getting really big and really smart.  I have yet to learn how to sleep through the night even though I sometimes tease my mommy with about 6-7 hours of sleep (one time I did a 10-hour night!) and I don't like to sleep during the day.  I'm a happy girl though... I can make my mommy and daddy forget about how tired they are when I smile. 

Everything is so exciting right now but I'm hoping I can get moving soon.  Sitting in a bumbo seat or in a jumperoo is starting to get a little boring.

See ya next month! :)
