willow kate 10 months

willow kate,

i've been putting this post off

because i just can't believe you are ten months.

you are such a good girl.

everyone always comments on how sweet you are.

you are very active and crawl so fast.

you pull up and walk holding on to things.

you can also climb a whole

flight of stairs in seconds.

you're eating more solid foods with your fingers.

you're still a great eater.

you drink from a big girl cup with a straw!

you like water and "green" juice.

you babble all the time.

loudly.

and you sing. 

you have the prettiest voice.

you do have a lot of music in your blood though.

we just got back from virginia

visiting aunt kristi and

you are in love with your nephews.

you loved being held by them.

you love aunt kristi and uncle steven too.

the plane ride there was tough on you 

because you wanted to get down and play

but on the way back you spoiled me by

sleeping on my chest.

ahhh, i loooove that!!

it makes me warm and fuzzy just thinking about it.

you got your first real cold :(

you started cutting your

second tooth on your bday.

it's right next to your other one on the bottom.

it's sooooo precious and exciting.

i feel so blessed to be experiencing 

these things with you.

sad things are happening around the world

and among our friends

and it makes me so grateful

every single day to have you and daddy.

you are so full of life

and i look forward to each and every moment with you.

i love you.
