10 months

                Lola is now 10 months old-how time does fly!  She is one cute little red head...


 


        Lola had her 9 month appointment when she was almost 10 months old, here are her stats:
Weight:  #17.2 (15th %)
                                                          Height: 27.5 inches (40th %)
Head:  17 inches (90th %)
My mother in law always says a big noggin' means there are lots of brains in there-Lola must be awfully smart :)

Lola is the sweetest babes.  She has a very easy smile and will make eye contact, smile and giggle at just about anyone that will give her the time of day. 

-Lola loves Alli-she gets SO excited/worked up in the morning when Alli comes to help me get Lola when she wakes up.  She kicks her legs like crazy and just starts laughing at her.
-She has limited crawling abilities right now (which we don't mind at all) but Lola is a very good army crawler/backwards slider and can turn 360' like you wouldn't believe. :)  She somehow knows how to get her legs under the couch and get herself stuck quite often.
-She loves to jump in her jumper
-She has 2 bottom teeth
-Lola has always been a picky eater and has refused baby food since day 1 when we started feeding her, however, she will eat anything that we are eating if I just grind it up in the blender.  Her favorites so far are chicken and rice soup, spaghetti, beef stroganoff, chicken enchiladas,  refried beans, rice and pizza. Pretty much anything that ISN"T baby food.  She does like baby yogurt and the oatmeal with cinnamon though.
-She does have a little attitude at times- a little red head spitfire coming through as we call it.  She is really a quiet little thing, but if Alli tries to take a toy away from her or if she doesn't get something she wants-she will let you know by yelling.  She does have quite the grip too-Alli has a hard time getting things away from her at times.
-Got her ears pierced at 9 1/2 months-couldn't not do it since the big sister has them too :)
- Lola loves to sing and her favorite song is "If You Are Happy and You Know It..." she loves to clap her hands so that is what we sing most often
-She can wave "Hi" but gets both arms going most of the time
-Lola does have some stranger anxiety (which Alli never knew existed), but we are working on it.  She will let others hold her as long as I or Brian are not in direct view.  I think its because I'm home full time with her and she doesn't get much time to be with others.  Over Christmas break she warmed up to our families, so hopefully when nursery time comes around it won't be too hard to leave her.
-When she is tired she loves to spit and spit A LOT.
-She refuses to hold her own bottle.  She can and knows how, but doesn't care to do it.
-To get our attention she loves to fake cough and she will continue to do it until someone looks at her
-She loves to be vocal and say "Da Da Da" along with a bunch of other noises
-Lola loves taking a "tubby" with Alli, I think she is going to like the water this summer.

She sure is fun, this stage is one of my favorites and I hope it doesn't pass by too fast!

She looks a lot like Brian and the Beckstrom clan-her cousins Tanner and Austin especially (Brian's brother Britt's kiddos)

Big cheeser and out of focus :)

oh she's just too cute! when i see that pic of her and alli side by side it blows my mind that they are sisters! such different features! to heck with baby food....i love htat she eats all your food!! baby food is so dang expensive anyway, i think she's got it figured out!

thanks for the p.training advice comments, Emri has been so back and forth. we started in the beginning with rewards for dryness and going in the toilet (sixlets or reeses pieces). she's always pooped in the toilet for us, but its usually because i can tell that she's up to something so i put her on. She's just never been that great about vocalizing when she needs to go. grrr. i might have to put a big fun prize on the back of the potty for incentive?? i'm sure we'll get it figured out. i don't care if jet is in diapers till he's 10! haha!
