10 Month Update




10 MONTHS


Head, Height, Weight: Her head is about 16 inches, height is about 30 inches and her weight is 24 pounds and some change. My big girl is in the 90 percentile for all category's! She's giant! :)

Clothes: She fits good in 18 months so that's what we mainly have her in. She owns a few 24 month pieces and those fit with some extra room.

Eating: This girl loves food (Can you tell?) and she will give anything a try! I was at work and David sent me this picture and I melted! She is such a fun baby! Baby Led Weaning has been a blast and I'm so glad I never wasted my time "making" baby food. 

Sleeping: My perfect sleeper is nowhere to be found these days! Since turning 9 months, it seems she can't go a whole night without waking up once. When I hear her, I grab her and bring her to bed with us and I nurse her back to sleep. My goal was to put her back in her crib when she was done but 99% of the time, I fall back to sleep too! After a couple weeks, David told me to leave her in bed with us and I'm Ok with that. If I don't fall back to sleep then I usually put her back in her crib otherwise she stays with us. 

Diapering: Still in Pamper's with zero rashes so far!

Adventures: 
We have done a zoo trip with mommy friends and lots of walks in the evening with daddy!

Playtime: Gracelyn loves exploring around! She is never content in just one spot and loves getting into just about everything! She likes blocks and standing up on furniture to see what she can get into. 

Likes: She loves her baby friends and getting into other people's business. We joke that she is so nosy! She will go out of her way to see what you are doing or take whatever you have. 

Milestones: TEETH! She now has 2 precious pearly whites on her bottom jaw and I absolutely love them! She hasn't bit me-- yet! So I'm waiting to see when her next ones show up. She has learned how to climb the stairs at Mimi and Papa's house and she stands by herself now (hasn't taken steps yet). I just cannot believe how fast this little girl is growing! We love her so much and can't wait to see what she does next.

Dear Gracelyn,

Sweet baby, you're two! My, how time has just flown by. Here we are on your second birthday and I am more in love with you now then ever before. You are so independent, so strong willed, brave and energetic. You get all of that from daddy. We are so proud of the little girl you have become and we can't wait to watch you grow up to be so much more. I am so blessed by you, Gracelyn. You have made me a better person all around.  I can't even remember what I used to do for fun. How many hours did I waste watching TV? Everything is much more fun with you around. I am reliving my childhood through your eyes and I have to say- it's one of the greatest experiences ever. One of my absolute favorite things about you is how you try not to smile and your lips press together as you try to hold back. Oh my goodness, EXACTLY like your dad. People say you either look just like him or a mix of both of us. Either way, you are the most beautiful little soul I have ever known. You...

The meaning of Gracelyn Elida.

When you chose your child’s name, did it have a meaning or did you pick it just because you liked it?             When David and I were talking about names, we were lost! Neither of us knew where to start nor had any picked out before. I always liked the name Christopher. It’s my dad’s name, my brother’s name, my nephew’s middle name and it’s also David’s middle name. It’s a family name and I knew I would pass this name to my child, had it been a boy. We also loved the name Daniel. It’s a strong name for a baby boy, young guy, and an older man. Can you picture a sweet baby named Bill or Ted? Maybe you can, but I sure can’t! Daniel is also a strong biblical character. He was a man of faith! He endured being in the lion’s den and was not harmed because he was brave and faithful.  The name Christopher has the word CHRIST in it. I believe the name Christopher comes from the word Christian, so after all of this the n...
