Children too are a gift from YHVH; the fruit of the womb is a reward. The children born when one is young are like arrows in the hand of a warrior. How blessed is the man who has filled his quiver with them; he will not have to be embarrassed when contending with foes at the city gate. Psalms 127:3-7

10 Months

My little princess, your 10 months old!
You can put your arms up when you want to be picked up
 As soon as I put you down you were off
 I tried to bribe you with a light
 a little ballerina perhaps??
 blurry photo's because you move so much
a cute baby bottom
 Your cute little flannie pjs
 your fringe is so long it needs to be tied up all the time so it won't get in your eyes...this is what it looks like though once it starts to come out!
 I turned your seat around in the car this month as you were getting big and still hated it. You still don't like it though!
 The school holidays were this month. We went to the park with Leanne and her boys
 You are so at home with lots of kids, you love all the attention
 You still love your baths especially when you get to hop in and play with whatever toys you like...without your big sisters helping
 You learnt to climb this month. such joy. You even clapped yourself when you climbed up onto this chair.
 At the park with all the kids. You get to sot with the mothers and climb all over the bikes
 You also had your first proper vomit. We were all sick one week and you threw up all over me and the bed. Just the once and you were fine afterwards.
 Just the girls
 Out for dinner
 you have 5 teeth now. I got this banana toothbrush/teether that you love
 We went to Oberon to celebrate Zephs first birthday
At the cafe you pushed this car around everywhere
 playing with musical intstruments at the farm
 Your favourite toy still. You also use this to stand up on even though its so close to the ground! You also use it as a walker.
 Look at that happy face! Shopping at costco. You only lasted in here for about 2 minutes until I gave up and put you in the ergo.
 Three gorgeous girls ready to go to playgroup. Your sisters adore you and you them!
 Lots of helpers to help you walk
 This was your first ever time in the sandpit. At first you were unsure but then you liked it. You didn't even put any in your mouth!
 You have been standing alone (pulling up on things but then letting go) and have taken your first step this month. I think you will be walking pretty soon!
 Off we all go to the football.
 You love your daddy. He was stroking your hair and you were just laying there so still with this peaceful look on your face (of course when I grabbed the camera you looked up).
 You have such a knowing that I often forget you are so young! You can push this pram around wherever you want. You lift it to go up a little bump and can turn it anyway you like.
 We all clap you when you let go so now you do it all the time and clap yourself
 Ezaria you are so cute and bring us ALL so much JOY

At 10 months you weigh 9.4kgs
You can say mumma, dadda, bubba, up, yes, ta and your most common erh!
You can sign the word milk
You learnt how to drink out of a straw
Your favourite food is probably hot chips (you still don't really eat but if your allowed a chip you will manage that) or anything sweet and of course breastmilk.
You are still feeding lots through the night.
I am  still loving hoping into bed at night next to you, my sweet baby.

9 months

 You are 9 months old!
 you have been out of the womb as long as you were in (well not quite in your case!!)
 still incredible cheeky
 I can't manage to get any good photos of you anymore as you will never sit still
 off you go
 even with your brothers helping I still couldnt get one

I love how you sit like this. It is how you sit and play! You make sure you are ready to go at anytime.
 A quiet baby means you are into something fun. You love the tissue box and pulling tissues out and if I am trying to get things done I let you do it and clean up the mess later!
 I still love wearing you. Pramless at the footy is always a good thing
 We had Leanne's 40th birthday dinner to go to this month. I bought this gorgeous little hat from Aunty Christine. It is so cute and I think you look like a little doll!
 Even looking at these photo's brings tears to my eyes. Can you be any cuter??
 Guess how much I love you

 and Daddy thinks the same too


 You are walking around all the furniture and will let go if something is close enough for you to reach out. You also let go and just stand alone. I tried to see if you would take a few steps but your not quite there yet.
 You can push the little pram around well now. It sometimes goes to fast and you end up being dragged a little.

 You think you are big enough to play all the big kid games. Unfortunately the big kids don't think so. They build and you destroy lol. They will carry you to another sibling's creation and you will be passed around. You usually pick one you like the best though and keep going back to it. Its funny to watch but not funny for those involved!!
 Little miss cool.
 You and Essence  play together sometimes. She loves you so much and you love her. You are often both giggling togther. Essence is very gentle with you and speaks softly and lovingly to you. She will also tell me you need some milky if you are upset.
 We wore the ring sling a few times this month. You are pretty clingy at the moment so like to be held. All the time.
 I went to bed one night and found this. So sweet. You had woken up when Daddy came to bed and let him put you back to sleep (this is not common!).
 You have also figured out how to climb into cupboards to reach the things at the back! Lots of mess for me to clean.
 We had some boxes this month that the boys and Bella were making cars and trains out of you. they all wanted you in their box. They had races with you across the lounge room floor.
You always have someone to play with. 
 I got my new pram so we went for a little walk/jog up the mountains one morning. It was pretty crisp but nice. You were happy to sit in the pram and would laugh when I would run.
 Yummy but cold watermelon
 some days you will eat some days not I think it depends what mood you are in.
 We got a new/old rocking chair. It's so nice for me to sit in a comfy chair to feed and rock you. It doesn't rock very fast though and sometimes it doesn't work to get you to sleep but it is nice. You are never allowed to be on lounges alone but I needed a photo of it.
 This month you figured out how to get down from the lounge or bed or how to go down steps backwards. This will definately come in handy!
 We went shopping and you got some new clothes. Bella chose the shirt. I love this little jacket.
I was trying to get some photo's but you just wanted me to hold you. I thought I would  put up the crying one so I can remember that you cried often if you were on the floor lol
 we had a few weeks off playgroup due to sickness and when we went back you discovered the bigger kids toys. You spent ages climbing through the tunnel
 climbing up the little roller coaster
 trying so hard to play pick a boo in a window that was too high for you
I love watching you explore
 you kept finding the tunnel
 trying to climb up the ladder of the slippery dip, you had your first slide
 playing in the plastic cubby house
You are such a happy little girl 
 You seem so much older than your age to me.
 haha reading the aldi catalogue. I love this purple jumpsuit. I have to always put your hair up as it's too long and get's in your eyes.
 The Zari squat
 You had your first biscuit this month. A milk arrowroot while we were watching the footy
This is your favourite toy. you love pushing them all down and try so hard to get them to pop up. The only one you can do so far in is the push button but you try!

This month has had a lot of sickness in it. You had an ear infection and went on antibiotics. I had tonsilitis and went on antibiotics. So you ended up with thrush in your mouth even though I was taking probiotics :(
You also had your first temperature. It only lasted half a day but you weren't very well.
I hurt my fingers on my right hand so it was a real struggle to change your nappy etc... you wiggle and squirm and it is so hard!
You've been enjoying having a bath alone or with Essence a few nights this month. Instead of me getting in I sit on the side. We bought you a rubber ducky and you love to play with it. Your fav thing to do in the bath is suck face washers!
You wave to everyone.
You clap all the time.
You put your hand out to be picked up.
You got your two top teeth.
You walk around furniture and will stand for a few seconds without holding on.
You will dance if we put music on.
I forgot to weigh you again but you are growing!!
