Ten Months.

This little goof is double digits! Whaaaaat! It feels like each month is zooming by more quickly than the last and V is changing and growing daily. It's incredible to see, a tiny bit heartbreaking and a whole lot of fun.

We are all about self-feeding now and while V loves yoghurts and oatmeal still, she's really not keen on being spoon-fed. And as she's yet to figure out spoons, her diet is mostly food she can stuff in her mouth. She loves avocados and nectarines, buttered toast, all kinds of pasta, tuna and potatoes. She hasn't refused anything yet and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she won't for a long time! As of yet we're still toothless but I'm hopeful for at least two by the time she's 11 months!

This babe is constantly full of beans, always on the go. I get a workout playing with her and chasing her as she scoots about. She loves being able to move herself around and she's so fast! A couple of times she has balanced while standing by herself and done a baby-squat, which makes me think that the first few steps might not be so far off! She chases Pearl, dances at every opportunity and has even started 'singing' along with her favourite songs. So cute!

V is chatty, fun, adventurous and gorgeous. She makes me laugh every day with her smiles and giggles and my heart grows more than I thought it ever could. She babbles all the time, with sounds that are transforming into words. We've almost mastered 'doggy' and she'll quite happily answer 'yeah!' when I ask her if she wants a snack or to read a book. She covers us with kisses and snuggles Pearl so sweetly I could melt. She's exciting and weird and the best kid ever.

I'm thrilled to be the Mumma of this little girl. Ten months have gone so quickly, so our priority is making the most of every day! Happy Ten Months V!

Love, K.
