10 months old

I can't believe that in just 2 months we are going to be celebrating 1 year!!  Baby girl, you are growing up so fast.  It's hard to keep you with you.  Here are some things that you are doing this month: waves bye bye and says, "bye", says "bobba" for bottle and "mimi" for sleep.  You are pretty cute.  When you are really tired, you will crawl up to me and try to sit in my lap and say, "mimi".  Momma knows its time to sleep.  You are taking steps.  You are able to take 2 steps on your own, but I know that in a few short weeks, we will be chasing you.  You weaned yourself from momma's milk.  Since you have been weaned, you are taking the Nutrimagen formula for your milk allergy.  I think it is more of an intolerance, now because before you couldn't handle this formula, and now you have no problems!  You are sleeping SO much better at night now, and life is better for you and mommy!  Along with your formula, we added meats this month.  You can hand sign "more" to let us know that you want more.  You love chicken, turkey, and crumbled meat.  On daddy's day off, you like to go for walks in the wagon or in your stroller.  On March 18, 2016 you had to have a sedated CT scan.  It revealed a dermoid cyst on the back of your skull.  Doctor said it was the smallest one he has seen, but it is still making a little indention in your skull and he wants to remove it!  You had to take the medication through your nose and your fought the sleep as long as you could.  For over 25 minutes, you struggled in mommy's arms.  It hurt me so much to see you so anxious.  You finally let the medicine relax you and mommy and the doctor walked you back to the CT scan room.  I laid you down on the little table, and waited for you.  You did great, though, Mija!  I am so proud of you.  You slept most of the morning but once the anesthesia wore off, you were ready to go!!  There is nothing stopping you.  We are scheduled for surgery April 15th.  For now, you will just keep giving your brother trouble!!  You like to sit in the basket at HEB or Costco with your brother next to you!  You antagonize him by constantly hitting his arm, or slapping his face.  He tells you, "no, no" but you just look at him with a little smile and eventually put your head on his shoulder to let him know your sorry.  Mija, you are not staying a baby for long.  We love you so much and love watching the beautiful little girl you are growing up to be!
