10 months

Aisling is walking.......


Just Kidding.... This is actually a picture of Ingrid's little friend Astrid. I just thought she looked so much like Aisling, I had to post it. It is kind of like a fast forward though to see what little miss Ais will look like toddling around.

Aisling is 10 months old tomorrow for real. Whew.... Where is the time going.

Here are a few things that Aisling likes:
1. Songs: Particularly Little Bunny Foo Foo at the moment. I sang it for 30 minutes straight the other night. She loves all music and dances and tries to clap along and sometimes she even tries to sing along.
2. Toys: She is really into playing with her toys now. She loves them all and is getting good at pushing all the right buttons and putting balls in the holes and so forth. She also starts games too. She likes to hand me her ducky or lid to her cookie jar and then I place it on my head and she takes it off. Then we put it on her head and she just loves it. She also likes peek-a-boo, especially with Daddy. She still likes zippers too and strings to jacket or sweater hoods. She wants to chew on any she finds.
3. Standing and climbing stairs: She loves pulling up on anything she can. Chairs, walls, people it is all good. She is cruising really well too. She can stand for a brief second or two sometimes. She also loves to climb the stairs and play on the tile in our entryway. She gets so excited when she is up there.
4. Being a human vacuum cleaner: She loves picking up the tiniest speck on the floor. The other day she picked up something that was the size of a grain of sand. Little Miss Elven eyes.
5. Grown up Food: She is obsessed with whatever it is I am eating and will no longer let me eat unless she has a bite. Of course, she has a horrible gag reflex and chokes on everything, so I have to mash it up and give her the littlest bite imaginable. Last night she ate some of my samosa wrap and the night before it was refried beans. Never thought my 10 month old would like Indian Food, but she does. She has been better eating in general lately. She still isn't into baby food too much, but will eat a little here and there. She really like yogurt and oatmeal at the moment. She also likes little chunks of avocado which she doesn't choke on. She loves to feed herself too.
6. Saturday morning TV: We try not to let her watch too much, but she just loves Sesame Street (Elmo), Little Einsteins and Johnny and the Sprites.

Here are some things she doesn't like:
1. Diaper changes and clothing changes: It is so hard to get her changed these days. She especially hates the arms being messed with.
2. Grooming: She hates it when I comb her hair after bath time (my Barbies never cried) and forget going near her nose for that elusive boogie.
3. Car seats in the dark: She really gets pretty upset when she has to ride in the dark. She gets so angry and just shakes her little arms and cries. It is so sad. I bought her one of those lite up spinny things from Disneyland last week and that seems to help. 2 more months and we can turn the car seat around.

She is such an amazing baby. She is so happy go lucky and silly. I just love her to pieces. She is learning so much so fast. The other day at Disneyland she said Yay when Brian was pushing her stroller and she is giving kisses all the time and is just a wonder and joy to us. I can't wait to see what she does next.

Things have been so busy lately. Today I even had to leave for work before Aisling woke up. It broke my heart not to see her little face and smile in the morning. I am so happy when Fridays roll around. There is nothing better than spending time with my little family.
