August 2014

Stormie is getting so big! She is officially no longer eating baby food. She has enough toothies to eat real people food. She is walking everywhere and loves to say hi to the puppies through the back door. She has moved up to the "big kid" class at daycare too! I can't believe she'll be a year old next month!

I also cannot believe my baby girl Makenzie has started 3rd grade--where has the time gone? She is halfway to 16!

10 months old!

This has been the most fun month yet! You are Miss Personality and busy busy busy! You started walking about 5 steps at a time during the second week in July. You are loving playing Peek A Boo, blowing kisses and trying to say "hi" and "bye bye" now as you wave. You are so smart. You are into EVERYTHING. We never baby-proofed for Big Sis, but oh my...you open every cabinet and drawer you can get to and clean them out. Everything goes into your mouth--I have had to perform the Heimlech or back blows several times to get out everything from microscopic pieces of plastic to tiny pieces of dead leaves. Satisfying your curiosity and exploring are your favorite things to do. You had your second ear infection over July 4th weekend, along w/ a crazy swollen occipital lymph node that stuck around for over 3 weeks and totally freaked Mama out. We started you back on Ranitidine for reflux and you are sleeping better again. We are so happy that you are part of our family!
