10 months old!!

Nicknames: Kyra Bug, Squishy, Bunny

Clothing Size: 9 months and some 12 months.

Personality:  So friendly and totally love meeting new people. But you have started being super shy and bashful in a super cute way!! You love to learn new things.

Things I Could Do Without:  You being super mad about being told no. And tearing up the house seconds after I clean it up.

Item/Toy We Love The Most: Books, you sit and read them and keep quite to let me have a break.

Item/Toy You Love The Most: Your blocks, you just love when I build them up and you knock them down, you even make the "aaaaahhhhh" like I do.

Things I’m Loving Most Right Now: How much you can do. I love that you wave bye bye to people when they leave, that you clap when you hear cheering, you know how to say dad, mama, and baba(bath). Your indian noises, and now that you are starting to stand on your own.

Things You’re Loving Most Right Now: Walking holding on to just one hand! And being held. We are working on breaking 4 teeth right now and you are not enjoying it.

9 months and 5 days.

    Well with Kyra turning 9 months on Christmas I didn't really get a chance to do her 9 month progress chart thing until now because well we have been busy and I haven't caught a silent time really where I could sit down ALONE and just write.  So here it is for all of you that enjoy seeing Kyra's progress and all the things she learns each month. It amazes me how such a short increment of time can change one person so much. And honestly it wouldn't be so drastic if I didn't have these to look back on.

Nicknames: Kyra Bug, Squishy, Boo Boo bear.

Clothing Size: 9 months and some 12 months.

Personality: Oh boy is your personality certainly starting to shine through in everything you do. You are chatting and blabbering on about everything. And now have so much sass it is occasionally out of control. Specifically when you are told no about something.

Things I Could Do Without:  You being so hard headed and thinking you can do whatever you want. Than getting a temper when you are told you can't.

Item/Toy We Love The Most: The brainy baby dvd we were given for Christmas. I'm not a huge fan of putting your kid in front of a tv to entertain them as it doesn't do anything to help them learn but there are moments where I need to get something done and knowing she is gonna sit still and not come climb up my legs when I am cooking something hot for example that having her watch that dvd has been a savior.

Item/Toy You Love The Most:  Oh Christmas was good to you, and I'm not sure we have any specific favorites quite yet, tho she does like the new walkers cuz they are way more exciting than the one we were borrowing cuz they make noises. And your new cardboard fort we built you!!

Things I’m Loving Most Right Now: Your personality, you just make the funniest faces and respond to everything so enthusiastically!! You even clap when you eat!!

Things You’re Loving Most Right Now: Walking around the house with the walkers, clapping and singing with mommy. And playing with all the new toys!!

Her hair is getting so long, and look at that drool!!! She has been working on her 2 top teeth forever, you can see and feel them they just won't break through :S

Hippie Baby

So I feel like the more I learn the more going natural and trying to save the planet also saves us money!! Cloth diapers may be an abstract concept to most cuz it takes a bit more effort with cleaning but, less likely to irritate, don't have to continuously purchase more, seem more comfy for the baby, and aren't filling up landfills sounds smart to me!! Plus if you haven't seen them lately they are SO freaking cute far cuter than Minnie or Mickey mouse!! And I feel like they are more elastic around the legs and waist so less likely for explosions and that is ALWAYS GOOD!!!

Other things I have learned? Sunshine takes out baby stains, for the win. Bright yellow stain on sheets after wash...4 hours sunlight no more stain!!!

Uh also swear by the Amber necklace, though it doesn't relieve all pain it cut the pain some...not as cranky as often about the teeth ROCKING!!!

Also BFing has been a money saver, and so much more convenient no need to wait for the formula to be made, fresh and ready 24/7!  And the bonding is amazing I love when she is all cuddled up wouldn't trade it for the world!!

And Carriers, hands free, hold baby in a good direction for their digestive system, gives them closer access to communication to help with their speaking, and bonding from knowing you are close by!!! I love EVERYTHING I have learned about the more natural routes. I can see now why so many people who do these things get so inspired its amazing, and super great for your baby!!!

Next step with 6 months right around the corner is how to introduce food. We have done the puree's homemade but so far she hasn't been thrilled. Have done some research on BLW and may try this, and my just accompany it with some puree's we shall see gotta try them both out some more and follow my gut on whats best like I have with all of the Above things :)

Sorry that was a blurted out random blog but I wanted to get it all done and written while I was thinking about it!!!

4 days and a wake up and home sweet home we go!!!
