The Adventures of Cat & Jack: 10 months old!

Will someone please tell my baby to stop growing??? There's gotta be some kind of magic potion somewhere out there that can freeze babies at their current growth level, right? I would really appreciate that right now. I'm just really not ready for another big kid. And I'm really enjoying Eliza as a baby. I only have 2 more months of that. Sad.

This month we discovered a sure-fire way to make Eliza laugh and smile:
play peek-a-boo using a Santa hat. Works every time!

Eliza has been spotted carrying her sippy cup around in her teeth.
This is the best picture I could get...

She is SO into things. Here she is opening a Christmas present that Cat wrapped with Daddy's help and insisted on putting under the tree weeks before Christmas. This is the reason I didn't wrap anything until Christmas Eve.
(Oh, and let's be honest. Jack opened his fair share as well.)

Kind of silly, but I wanted to document these cool shoes someone handed down to us. They're peace sign Converse. They're impossible to get on her because they're hi-tops, but they look so cute!

This month Eliza also waved for the first time (she waved to Jack when he said goodbye to her as I took her to her room for her nap) and she clapped for the first time (while we were visiting our adopted Granny). We also began seeing teeth #4-6. Yowsers!

"Until next month..."

Soooo cute! Makes you want to hug and kiss her and smile!

blast. I guess I was hoping that at some point as a mom you stop mourning watching your babies lose their baby-ness. she's just precious, and she will absolutely love reading all the happy, beautiful things you've documented about her.

Why don't we get monthly updates on all three kids? I really don't think you want to play favorites... do you?

10 months, yikes times flies. She is such cutie. It was so fun to catch up on all your family is doing. Life was crazy for us as well, and I have been off the bloggin radar. It was good to check in with you guys, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
