10 months!!

My blogging life has really become sporadic, at best.  So every time I sit down to write a post, it feels like I just wrote a monthly post :)  Here we are again, with Gemma hitting 10 months...leaving her only 2 more months before she's a year!!!  I can not believe my baby girl is so close to being one, and Mickey will forever be retired as our monthly prop.  We had a big month, with the highlight being our traveling to St.Louis for 8 days for the birth of Kari's twins.  Gemma continues to delight us, bring us joy and add happiness to our lives.

Things to remember:

• how you started sleeping through the night consistently
• how excited you get when you see mommy or daddy walk in the room - and your fingers and toes just extend and move with excitement
• how much you love music...you love to bop up and down and dance whenever there's a beat to be heard
• how much you love your brothers!!  you light up and giggle and just love the interaction and attention they give you
• how much you love Frodo...he's not to keen on you all the time, and while you think you're playing with him he likes to swat and bat you and has even tried to take a chunk out of your hand
• how you've become a bit of a momma's girl this month, screaming your head off when I would hand you to someone else but still be in the room
• how much you love to eat table food and pretty much eat anything we give you
• how you started climbing the stairs
• how you started making more and more noises with your mouth
• how you still are easy to put to sleep in the Ergo if need be - a big blessing
• how well you do in the stroller - making it easy for me to get a run in ;)
• how generally content and happy you are!!!

We love you so much sweet baby girl!!!  Welcome, 10 months.
