Hannah @ 10 months

This was my first attempt at a ponytail. Her hair up front is so long, but she hated the elastic because it pulled her hair so I just clipped a bow in but it didn't last long.

Started to pull up on things. 

 She has a future career in dentistry..She loves to scrape the tartar off my teeth.

Dancing with Daddy in the bathroom. 

At the Dr's office for her 9 month checkup. 

She loves to stand at the back door and watch the outside world. 

 She loves Gerber puffs, but sometimes they stick to her. HAHA

 I was in the area so we stopped at the Mesa Temple grounds and walked around.

 I made my own baby wrap and put it to the test. She loves it. 

Daddy went in to put her down for a nap and ended up falling asleep too (and the cat). She will do this for Ryan but not with me. 

 She started making this scrunchy face and we love it. We laugh so she does it more.

 I just love her morning hair

Tidbits:

8/29: Became super clingy. I can't leave the room without her crying, and she won't go to Dad.

8/30: Said Dada. She says it a lot but this time she actually said it when she touched his face.

9/6: Spins around in a circle on her bum. She can also stand up and push a chair while holding on. She dances every time she hears a beat and pulls up on everything.

9/8: Started doing her scrunchy face. She loves to suck on Dad's watch, it keeps her happy during church. When she's done nursing she'll sit straight up. She will finally eat food on her own that i set on her tray.  She loves books and will flip through them on her own. She gives big open mouthed kisses.

9/19: This morning while watching her play I started to cry thinking about her growing up. 

She laughs when we laugh. She will snuggle after we pick her up out of the crib. She lays her head on our shoulder. She won't let me feed her anymore with a spoon, she wants to do it herself.

9/25: I thought my milk was drying up because it took a long time to let down twice in a row, but luckily that hasn't happened since.

Weight: 21.11 lbs 92%

Length: 29" 89%

She did get 2 shots at this appointment - Hep B and Polio - since she missed them at 6 months.

^^^ 3 examples of her head tilt, though she doesn't do it much anymore ^^^

^^^ We go to the Farmer's Market every Saturday. This particular day was extra hot so we cooled down with some Italian Ice and water ^^^

^^^ Kristina and me. A lady in our ward got a bunch of us free screening passes to see "Austenland." It was a lot of fun and a funny movie. ^^^

^^^ date night to Outback Steakhouse ^^^

^^^ I'm the new ward organist. I've never played before so it's been a challenge, but has stretched me and helped me grow. ^^^

^^^ Hannah loves her bath sponges. When they fill with water she sucks each one till they're dry ^^^

^^^ Found her like this one day asleep holding onto the rails. It breaks my heart when she stands up and cries. ^^^

^^^ sick again! On Aug 9th we took her in because she had labored breathing. They gave her some medicine to help with her congestion and sent us home with a nebulizer. The loud humming put her right to sleep ^^^

^^^ our friends Paul and Peggy came to visit! Ryan and Paul golfed everyday ^^^

 ^^^ we went to a DBacks game ^^^

^^^ Tried to get a good photo of her like I do each week, but she wouldn't sit still. She officially started crawling on Aug 4th ^^^

^^^ I just couldn't resist. We saw lots of this when she was sick because she hates when we clean out her nose . You can kinda see her tooth popping through. It showed up the same week she started crawling. ^^^ 

^^^ I love taking pictures of her sleeping ^^^

^^^ Her first official baseball hat. Daddy let her wear it before his softball game ^^^

^^^ She doesn't fall asleep in my arms anymore so I treasured this rare moment and snuggled her for over an hour till she woke up ^^^

^^^ Ryan turned 30! We celebrated with an ice cream cake ^^^

Tidbits:

She loves to stick her fingers in my mouth. When I bite down she laughs. She also laughs at the cats when they're chasing the laser and when I mop the floor, and when she sees a video of herself laughing. My favorite time with her is right after nursing. She will lay in my arm and let me rub her face and she just coos. She loves our phones. We raised the crib rail because she started to pull up and look over the crib. When she's happy or excited she flail her arms up and down and right before i feed her she'll slap her hands on the highchair tray. Anytime she holds paper she'll flip it over and over in her hands examining it. She loves Baby Einstein.
