10 Months!

I can't believe 10 months ago at this time I was holding my sweet baby for the very first time.

So, so, so much has changed & I love every bit of it!

I used to not be able to function on 6 hours of sleep a night & now I can somehow function off of 2 hours if I have to.

I used to not care what I ate or what ingredients was in it- now I do.

I now look at my husband different & think of how awesome he is to her.
Babies change your life forever, but I would not take back one millisecond!

Dear Rylee, 

You are getting SO BIG! As of last week you are 19lbs 10oz! You're my big chunky monkey & I love it! I love your chubby little legs, chubby arms and your big puffy cheekies. I love that your feet are huge! I love how you say "ma-ma" when you're sleepy & you just want me to hold you. I love when we sit outside everyday and wait for daddy to come home & as soon as you see him pull in you start jumping up and down. I love that you are so lovable and calm at night when it's bedtime. Your daddy is so good to you & I'm so incredibly blessed to have you & him in my life! 

 Food/Milk

You pretty much eat whatever we give you. For a few weeks you had a few aversions, but now it's all back to normal. Spinach, rutabaga, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, peaches, tomatoes, turkey, chicken, beef- all of that and lots, lots more.  We give you 3-4oz of food in the mornings & 5oz at night. We are still skipping a regular lunch until you get a little bit older. You still nurse 5-6 times a day & for that I'm so proud of you & I!

Sleep

You go to bed between 730p-8p and sometimes you wake up around 4am to nurse, then go back to sleep until 8am & sometimes you don't wake up at 4am, but you're up bright & early at 6am! I like when you sleep until 8. =) You take 1 morning nap anywhere from 30 minutes- 1 1/2 hours. Your afternoon nap is usually 1.5-2.5 hours & we're trying to break you from the late afternoon nap. 

Things you do

You know how to wave "bye bye" now! It's the cutest thing ever! You do it backwards though. ;) You love to blow huge spit bubbles & get it everywhere! You're an active monkey crawler/climber. Your favorite thing to do is climb up us. When you want more food you say "Mmmm" and kick your legs. The other day you were standing up & I let go of your hand & you took 1 step then fell down. Nana was there to witness it! Every time you wake up from your nap you stand up in your bed & start bouncing up & down until we come get you. It's the cutest thing ever.
