9-10 Months

9 Months

10 Months: Alex put her shirt on backwards, like most outfits that he tries to dress her in. I also just realized she's wearing the same outfit in both pictures. Hooray!

I am so behind on updating this blog, but let me tell you why: I have a mobile baby! It has been so hard to find the time to keep an up-to-date blog. From being at the gym 5-6 days a week <pats self on back> to play dates, family time, chasing Scarlett AND Daphne, cleaning, cooking, errands, social life,  and date nights, I have found it very difficult to squeeze this in. Believe me, I'm not complaining, but life surely is different than 5+ months ago. She is screaming at me  just this second because Alex has her while I try to do this, but she knows I'm downstairs and wants to get to me. 

I can't help but laugh when I think of myself before she was crawling. I'd think, "this isn't so hard, what's the fuss all about?" Now I think "Please Lord, help me get to bedtime." I also know what's waiting on me once it's bedtime...trashy shows and a big ol' glass of cheap wine.

Alright friends, Scarlett's not happy, so here's the short and sweet update of the last 2 months:

• She pulls up all the time, side steps around the furniture, but not walking yet.
• She experienced her first snow. Alex and I had a blast, but I don't think she really cared one way or the other.
• She has 7 teeth
• She has strawberry blonde hair that has gotten pretty thick. She also lets me put bows in her hair.
• She says mama and dada all the time. She's also pretty chatty.
• She points and claps.
• She has never shown any sign of separation anxiety. 
• She loves books. I find her flipping through them. I'd have to say that's her favorite thing.
• She has started using a learner sippy cup.
• She's still sleeping through the night: about 12 hours straight. She also naps about 2 times a day. 

Thank you all for checking in! I feel like I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached, but we are having a great time!

Love and hugs,

Emily and Scarlett
