Siblings @ 10 months

 I last compared the kiddos here, using their two month pictures. 

Now, here they are at ten months.  

Greichaly continues to look like a beautiful blend of her big brothers.

And some face shots, just for fun!

the proud momma,

TEN months

Greichaly Mae at TEN months

October 29, 2011

 

At ten months, our sweet girl is:

• Crawling and climbing everywhere, getting into everything!
• Standing on her own in short spurts and walking behind the walker.
• Sleep has gone wonky... several crazy nights lately :P as well as some bright and early mornings following the time change.  ((keep reminding myself of the past 9 months of blessed nights!!))
• Has 4 teeth!
• Loves watching her big brothers and tolerating their "lovin'" pretty well.
• Is continuing to try new foods and getting the hang of her sippy cup.
• Underwent allergy testing for food allergies and tested negative to all!!
• Babbling lots and lots!  Not too many identifiable words yet.

Love my lil' G!

First Snow

The boys wasted no time getting outside to enjoy the first snow! I don't think Miss Greichaly will be content inside for long!! This momma's gonna have to get tough:)

Greicha's New Trick

The other day I put Greichaly on the tractor for the first time, to my surprise she could reach the pedal and make it go.  Last night, we put her back on and off she went (with momma not too far behind her)!  

Next summer will be interesting with all three kids vying for a turn on the motorized vehicle... maybe she'll have to settle for the 4-wheeler.

Watch them grow

Two summers ago we planted some trees in our backyard.  I, of course documented the event, which included the picture with the boys & the trees.  My goal is to *try* to do this each year to note the growth of the trees (& the kids- this year we added Greichaly - can you find her in the photo?)  As you can see, both the kiddos and the trees continue to be growing by leaps and bounds.  What a delight to see this happen right before our eyes.  ((my apologies to flubbing up the angle in the 2011 photo))  Life truly is a wonderful blessing, isn't it?

"Let everything that has breath praise the LORD!  Praise the LORD!"

My attempt at posting a little more than Greichaly's monthly updates....
 

The Red Sweater Throwback

Think Greichaly may look like her momma?  Check these pictures out!

Photo on the left is Greichaly in the same red Nebraska sweater I was wearing 30 years ago in the picture on the right.  ((It's also fun to see how far strollers have come in 30 years!))

Red Sweater Double Take

Praying she keeps her Daddy's curls and inherits some of his height!

"Rejoice in the Lord always,

I say it again, Rejoice."  -Philippians 4:4

Saddened to think my baby is growing up,

yet excited to see her personality continue to bloom.

This sweet girl has been a delight for the past nine months 

and I rejoice in this precious gift we have been blessed with.

At nine months, our sweet girl is:

• crawling (now on all-4's) and climbing everywhere!
• starting to get a little possessive of her Momma!
• still loves her sleep and wakes up happy - what a joy this is!
• has 3 teeth (her first top one just poking thru!)
• is getting some adorable curls!
• is eating more and more, recently switched to a less sensitive soy-based formula!
• added buh-bye to her vocabulary along with Ma-ma and Da-da, and also has a word that seems to be sounding a LOT like "Cah" for Carter.

Treasuring the moments.....
