10 Months

She’s hit the double digits! 10 months and just as perfect as ever! Over the last month she has developed leaps and bounds! Her personality is emerging and Rob and I couldn’t be happier or luckier to have her. Aliya is an amazing person, daughter, and friend. We love every cell in her little body!
Some new things

1. High Five- We eat dinner together every night and Ali has started to high five. She always goes to Rob first and twist over to me. The best part is she only knows how to high five double. She can’t just do it to one person so if either Rob or I are not there she is just stuck with her up in the air waiting to be high-fived! It is so cute!
2. First Word?- She now waves and says bye-bye! I melt as does everyone else who sees her. She knows the action of waving goes along with the word bye-bye but she has no idea what it means, thus the question mark behind first word. Does it count as a first word if there is no meaning attached to it? I don’t think so. She babbles so much that I know it won’t be long till she is talking away!
3. Furniture Walking- She can crawl as quick as a rabbit. She is now holding on to anything to walk around, It won’t be long till she takes her first steps. Aliya’s growing up so fast.
4. Getting into everything!- Anything she is not suppose to touch she does! She is into everything! She still loves wires and we are trying to break her of chewing on them. She is figuring out the baby proofing we did and learning to undo it to get into the entertainment cabinet. Naughty girl!
5. Eating- She can chew food! I mean big pieces of food not little baby pieces but real pieces of food! It is so much easier to feed her now and she is actually eating food! I love it!
6. Playing games- This is our favorite thing she does! Between the high fives and feeding us from her plate, Ali plays games with us at the dinner table! Rob makes a funny noise, (right now its Ayyy, in the style of Fonzie from Happy Days,) and she just starts cracking up. Her laughing makes us all laugh and we have the best dinners ever! She is so funny and her personality is unbelievably awesome!
Aliya is so smart and learns things so quickly. I am so proud of her and continue to be amazed by her daily. Now if I could just get her to sleep through the night she’d be perfect, (she’s perfect regardless!)
We love our 10 month old!
