10 months- Ladies and Gentlemen we have a crawler!!!

Month ten has been an exciting one! Miley has learned to crawl and she is into everything! I think she spent the past ten months planning every thing she was going to get into. Needless to say, she is keeping me on my toes. I am learning to child proof the house. She has gotten into things I never expected her to. For example, the other day I learned a very valuable Mommy lesson! When crawling child discovers sticky mouse pad trap and proceeds to get hand stuck in the stickiest glue you have ever seen, an all natural almond oil sugar scrub (made by Nona) will get it off!!!! Thank you Nona!!! This discovered after Dawn dish soap, coconut oil, and call to poison control center!!! Like I said, this girl is keeping me hopping. In addition to crawling, Miley has also learned to say Dada and talk enthusiastic baby babble. She has also started clapping her hands to music and can drink from a sippy cup all by herself. Finger foods are of great interest to her as she is learning to feed herself. It's amazing to watch her coordination develop in leaps and bounds. Seems like just the other day, she could do nothing on her own. She is growing so FAST! I am truly so blessed to be home with her now full time. I am loving my new full time position as Mommy CEO. Being able to see every little milestone along the way is so special. I am so thankful for this time with her.

Not sure what she is thinking here!!! LOL

Being like Daddy!

Daddy hung the swing Nona and Papa sent home with Miley from Texas!!! Boy does she love it!!! Thanks Nona and Papa!

 

Month nine went quick! Miley accomplished a lot during that month including clapping her hands, rolling very well, moving from laying down to sitting, belly crawling, and FINALLY sleeping with out her swaddle (I know, I know, it's about time!)!!! She also started to take fewer naps, narrowing her snoozing time from three naps to two. Miley also really decided to LOVE yogurt and in fact wants nothing else to eat! LOL! She did start eating two new foods, chicken and eggs. She seems to really like the chicken but is unsure about the eggs. New discoveries include saying "mama" very well (although I don't think she knows what it means yet), clicking her tongue, working on waving, and getting into the crawling position. We also traveled back to Moab, Utah with some great friends and enjoyed Miley's second camping trip. Four-wheeling, jeeping, and hiking were among Miley's favorite activities! It was so great to spend so much time together as a family with such wonderful friends!
