10 Months!!

I'm a little behind on Caroline's 10 month post.  The days seem to get away from me a little quicker now with Logan being here until after 1, and then I use the afternoon to take care of my day to day things.  Anyway, this month the main question is, what is this child NOT up to???  She is busy, busy, busy.  She is talking more with a few new words added to her vocabulary, so now we are saying: ma ma, da da, ba ba, tay (but it sounds more like "atayyyyy", we can't figure out if she is saying Tanner (our yellow lab) or "Ok".  She's also saying "da" and points to the dogs.  And she is into those dogs!!  Mia will have nothing to do with her and if Caroline gets too close she gets a little snippy.  Tanner on the other hand is wonderful with her.  We are letting him stay inside right now because the heat is just too much.  She can crawl all over him, pull his ears, tail, lip and the dog won't flinch. Poor guy. She loves to crawl up on his bed with him and just lean back on him, its too cute. Caroline has mastered two new milestones this past month and that is cruisin' with her baby stroller and standing alone.  I have a feeling that by the 11th month post we will be walking, if not sooner.  I give her 2-3 weeks.  It's extremely bitter-sweet.  I can't believe my baby will be walking soon!!!  Just when I start to relax a little with her pulling up and not busting her face we start entering the walking stage where I know there are going to be many boo-boo's and tears. 

Her first birthday party planning is in full force!!  Originally we were going to be having it up in North Texas, but changed our minds.  Her first birthday is super special and important so we wanted to have it here in Katy.  We have rented out Firethorne's clubhouse, cake has been ordered, invites have been ordered, balloons, and theme has been set!! I can't wait!  I was asked the other day what I wanted for MY birthday and it hadn't even crossed my mind.  My birthday is 3 days before Caroline's and I guess when you and your child's birthday is so close, yours isn't so important anymore.  And that is totally fine by me, I would not have it any other way. 

A few other things:

-Size 3 diapers
-Still 4 5 ounce bottles a day
-Still eating some jar food, but eats everything we eat
-Ate her first "real" meal of big people food and it was meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and sweet peas!!
-Loves pizza!
-Loves fruit!!
-Started introducing organic whole milk and she doesn't quite know what to think about it.
-Still only 2 bottom teeth but I don't think the top two are far behind.

I guess that's about it for now!!!

About the sweetest thing ever!! Thanks for the necklace Elizabeth!! :)
