These pictures are getting harder and harder to take each month because Bella has now learned how to rock the rocker which equates in about 55 blurry pictures, and just a few half decent ones. But nonetheless she is a ton of fun, with her personality shining through more and more each month! What a fun, happy, spunky, strong willed baby!
Happy 10 Months Isabella Rae!
10 Month Highlights:
Happy 10 Months Isabella Rae!
 |
| "Mom, seriously, another picture!!?" |
-You had your 9 month check up a few days after you turned 9 months. You got your 3rd Hepatitis B shot, which was a surprise to Mama, b/c we thought this visit held no shots. Daddy didn't come to this appointment (b/c we didn't think there would be shots), but when we got home and he saw your pink camo band-aid, he was sad he missed it.
 |
| Happy before shots |
 |
| After shots- just a few tears, a quick cuddle and Moo, and you were back to smiling : ) |
-Daddy went on a camping trip with some of his buddies, so you and Mama had a sleepover with the Lefler ladies. We had a great time enjoying the summer like weather, playing at the park and in the creek.
-You twirl your hair, play with your ears and rub your eyes when you are tired. It is seriously so sweet!
-You started trying out more finger foods this month. Squash was a big hit, although I'm not sure much got in your mouth! You like to squish things around and throw things on the floor more than eat it. I try to put whatever I have pureed in whole form for you to try as a finger food, and when you don't really eat it, I give you the pureed.
-You started smiling really big and squeezing your eyes mostly shut while crinkling your nose. SO cute, and one of the first things that looks like mama!
-Grammy Dot, uncle David, and Brianna and Bryce came to visit during their spring break. We took some walks and just hung out. You certainly loved Brianna! Too bad we were so busy having fun we didn't get any pictures of you and Grammy : ( So sad about that!
-You ran your first 5K! OK, well, there was no running involved for you or Mama. But you participated in your first 5K to benefit Relay For Life. It was a beautiful (albeit very windy day) and Mimi, Tia, Dani and Brianna all had a great time walking around Tia's school 4 times to complete the walk.
-We celebrated your first Easter which was a lot of fun. You got a little Easter basket (that was Mama's first Easter basket!) with some bubbles, bunny ears, and empty large plastic eggs that you loved playing with. We spent the day with Mimi, Pops, Tia and Dani Leigh (uncle G was sick).
-Towards the end of the month, you started rolling onto your tummy in the middle of the night, waking up and hating it, and then apparently forgetting that you know how to roll back! Two nights in a row we had to go in and roll you over and calm you down. Then after that, you started sleeping a majority of some nights and most naps on your belly! So strange for a girl that HATES being on her tummy...up until now!
-Your first tooth started to come in on the bottom front left. It started peeking though on 4/4, and still almost a week and a half later it is still just a very small portion of the tooth that has come in. That being said, it feels like a very large dagger when you bite during nursing!

You like to squish things around and throw things on the floor more than eat it.

Sleeping: You go down sometime between 5:30 and 6:30 (depending on how good your naps were and how tired you are), and you sleep until about 6 am (sometimes a little later). You still have a (rare) night where you wake up around 1 or 2 or 3 am and can't put yourself back to sleep, so we rock you. Thankfully these don't happen all that often anymore. Despite a super early bedtime, you still wake up at pretty much the same time each morning, so this mama isn't complaining!
You nap twice a day, first at 10 am for 1-1.5 hrs, then again at some point in the afternoon for usually an hour (although sometimes shorter, and VERY rarely a bit longer).

Breastfeeding: Most days, you breastfeed 5 times usually sometime between 6 and 645 am, 9am, noon, 3pm and 5:30 or 6 pm. You take about ten minutes, except in the morning when you like to drag it out about a half hour (or sometimes even longer!). Occasionally, you sleep in (like, really occasionally), and get 4 feeds that day. I'm still pumping around 9:30 every night to give you the additional volume right after your last feed, before bed. Even though I strongly dislike pumping, I think this has made all the difference in your weight gain.
Isabella Loves:
-TV Remote controls and cell phones (seriously why buy you toys!?!)
