October-11 months

Melah is now walking full on...and is loving it!! We have so much fun playing woth her. She went to her first pumpkin patch and did very good!!  We turned her around in her car seat and she loves facing forward. She can see all sorts of fun things now.

Oregon Coast


In September we traveled to the OR Coast.  This was Melah's first long trip, and even with having a cold and an ear infection, she did fantastic!!!  She was such a trooper on the car ride, and got to enjoy all the fun stuff with us!! 

Here is Haillee and Melah with the Donkey that would not leave Haillee alone!! Followed her everywhere

10 months

On Saturday, Melah will be 10 Months.... Where has the time gone!  This is what we have been up to..

*After 5 months of teething, she has 1 (one) tooth
*she loves to feed her self...and feed the dog (by tossing it to the floor when she has had enough)
*the worlds fastest crawler- lol. not really but pretty fast.
     *she can stand up on her own, but as soon as she realizes what she is doing, she sits down really fast
     * she will however, stand and walk around anything she can hold on to
*Says the words (in order) Da-Da, Ma-Ma, bye-bye (along with waves as she says it) and Yellow (although it probably doesn't sound like yellow to anyone else but mom and dad- but she will say it when prompted to and sounds just like yellow, but if she was to just say it out of the blue i don't know if anyone would know what she is trying to say)   she tries to say other words, but we just aren't sure what they are yet :)
*she loves her da-da. when i ask Melah where DaDa is, she will race over to the door he always walks in from and waits for him to walk in. I don't know who is more excited to see one another. so cute!!
*she also loves the Dog, and his bed!! you can find her most times just chilling on the bed, with our without the dog.
*is a speed demon on the walker- if you don't watch your toes, you will get them ran over- and she won't stop to check if your alright!

We are getting ready to go on our first big vacation- meaning longer then just a couple hours away from home and for longer then 3-4 days. Pictures of that trip to come.  She is a great sleeper and is still as always, very happy! she loves her Daycare, will jump out of my arms and turn and tell me bye-bye..even when she isn't feeling well and i think that maybe she will just want mom to cuddle her- she doesn't.  Every day she gets more and more fun and we are excited to continue to watch her grow and learn new things. What a fun and exciting time for us! So in love with out little girl..
