ten months.

We are in the middle of getting our house on the market, which means the last couple of days have consisted of painting, nailing, packing, staging, cleaning. You know, attempting to get your house in mint condition with two kiddos all around. But, I wanted to pop in to share that Naomi is now ten months.

Like, whoa.

And she is everywhere. Keeping me on my toes and trying to keep up with her older sister. She is also over baby food, only mini-meals for her now. When she sees food she starts smacking her lips, it is so sweet. She is still so mild-tempered and go with the flow, pretty opposite of her more demanding, let-it-be-known I'm in the room, sister. When we pick her up from the nursery at church we usually hear "she was an angel."

She really is our doll-baby, that is growing like crazy. At her nine month check-up she was off the charts for height (30.5 inches) and weighed in at 20.5 lbs- 75%. Oh, and her fifth tooth just popped through last week!

One of my favorite things about her- the rubber-band wrists. I heart baby-chub.

Curiosity.

Everything is exciting and new to her. She wants to explore and touch and taste. She makes me appreciate the little things in life. Like a little purple flower sitting outside a restaurant. Without her I probably would have just walked right by and not thought about it all. But she brought me close to it. I tried to see how beautiful it was through her eyes. It was beautiful. A tiny flower that probably goes unnoticed more often than not.

Her curiosity is magical and contagious.

10 Months.

She is 10 months today.

My sweet baby girl doesn't seem so baby anymore. She kisses her teddy bear, hugs her daddy tight, thinks her crib is a playground, and loves to point at fans and lights.

Oh my, she will always be my darling baby girl.

By the way, the vintage dress she is wearing came from the Country Living Fair last year.
