Gigi is 10 months old!!

Wow my baby is 10 months old!! I can't believe that she is going to be ONE in less than two months!! This month really brought on baby fever for me. I know I know she is STILL a baby BUT she is growing up and doesn't seem to need me as much :( I was going through her baby blankets from the hospital and sighing... not to mention I know at least four people that had a baby this past week :) Well, I am LOVING every minute with her... she is learning so much and really responds to us now!!

This month brought HER FRIST STEPS!! Every chance she gets she will take the famous three steps... no less... no more! haha she knows that when she takes her three steps and then falls onto her bum that we will say yay! so she claps her hands and smiles!! SO PROUD OF HERSELF :)

She also can understand basic directions. If her tell her to say "Hi" she sticks out her hand. If we tell her to say "bye bye" she moves her hand up and down. If we tell her "yay" she will clap her hands. Thankfully she know what "No" means and so far she is a good listener!

This month also brought her first BAD choking experience :( She was really congested so she was breathing through her mouth while eating... not a good combination! She stopped making noise and started to turn blue.. mama thought fast and got that piece of food out... I was so ready to do the Heimlich on her THANK GOODNESS I was taught how... hopefully that won't happen again... it scared me and after re removed the lodged piece... I scooped up my baby girl and held onto her tightly while thanking the Lord for protecting my child!!

She also got in her 3rd and 4th teeth. i teeth so she has a huge gap where her two front teeth are still MIA :) she looks like a little walrus vampire baby ish ;)

This month also brought her first PIGTAILS!! I LOVE putting her hair in piggies and I am sure that will be the new way for her to wear her hair. I have been working on doubles of all her bows ;) Finally somEthing she CAN'T pull out!


It is so nice that she can eat whatever we eat.. makes meals a lot easier and when we go places we don't have to worry about bringing her food! This came in handy while we were gone on our cruise. Which also brings us to her next "first"

HER First long overnight at grandparents and aunt and uncles houses. According to everyone that watched her, she did great! Slept great, ate WAY TOO MUCH! and really had a lot of fun! We all gained two pounds from that week... my daughter now weighs 25.2 LBS! Sheesh

One new thing is her Piggy chair! Her Auntie Lili and Uncle Dan got it from Babystyle when the company went out of business. She just recently learned to sit in it and watch her cartoons. So cute! Of course they got her a baby piggy too! She likes to stand up against her toy basket and pull out ALL the stuffed animals she has... oh let me tell you she has a lot :) When Babystyle when under my sister and I both got her almost one of every animal, and every holiday since other family members have given her more!! I can't wait to teach her about Christian Family Care when she is older! blessing others since she has truly be BLESSEd!!



One thing that I wish would stop is her CONSTANT GROWING!! We bought her three 18m dresses two weeks ago and she doesn't fit them anymore. We had to go shopping.. OH DARN ;) The Children's Place Outlet is having a HUGE sale and I got her 10 items for 1.00 each! We also got her sunglasses for .49 and she finally fits crocs!!! Yay she is not barefoot anymore! Her little pink croc wanna be's were 1.99 and they have cute little cupcakes on them! We also went to the Carter's outlet and got her a 2T and 2T dress that fits for now... I am hoping these will last her longer :)

Another new thing that we just LOVE is her giggling! Just recently she has started to giggle at EVERYTHING! Chasing Daddy in her stroller, peek-a-boo, and just quick movements that startle her make her giggle!!

Ahhh She is at such a loveable cuddlable kissable squishable stage and we love it!!!!
I have been planning her party and getting her invitations ready! I can't wait it is going to be such a great day... I just hope Gigi is a happy birthday girl.. if not... then I am sure we will have cute pictures no matter what!
