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..

Summer so far...

So far our summer has been wonderful! Took Melah out on the boat, gone swimming in the pool, and she is pulling herself up and trying to walk... Yikes!! When does it ever slow down!!
First time in the pool! She liked it!
I like to play with the toys on my mobile! 
Happy 4th of July!

Ready for the boat!

6 months

Happy, healthy and crawling!!! We have a very active little girl crawling all over the place. She even stood up on her own.. Eeek... We are really in for it now! Since its been so nice we have spent a lot of time outside, and even starting to get her used to the pool! She has been in up to her bottom. We will slowly get her all the way in. Can't wait for summer!! 

Holding on tight in the grocery cart
I LOVE jaeger!! I bug him every chance I get!
I really want that bone too! (Right after I took this picture they each had the opposite end of the bone in there mouth) gross but super cute!!

It was such hard work to tip my basket over.. Now I'm ready to relax! 
Rollin on the patio!
