The Big 10

Hee hee look at me!  I turned 10 months old on January 3rd!

Arden turned 10 months old a week or so ago.  Here are her latest stats:

• Arden, you are so fun and have such a cute personality.  You are generally a very smiley and happy girl.  However, if we take something away from you (such as Mommy's cell phone) you cry and scream loudly as if it is the worst, most terrible thing ever.  It is so cute to watch.
• Arden is crawling so fast now.  In the past week or so, she has begun pulling herself up to a standing position. (I'm gonna write 1/3 as the first time she pulled herself to a standing position) She has also "walked" behind rolling toys a few times.  Arden is anxious to get moving (and watches her friend Reece walk all day) and I wouldn't be surprised if she walked just before her first birthday.
• I took both girls to the doctor after Christmas for a little skin issue and Arden weighed 25 pounds!!!  (Whoa.)  Sometimes my back aches a little at night.
• Arden is wearing size 4 diapers, and wearing 12 or 18 month clothing.
• She is still eating five bottles a day - 4 five ounce breast milk bottles and 1 six ounce formula bottle.  She is also eating more finger foods like cheese, mashed banana, sweet potato pieces, and shredded chicken.
• I should have documented it on the blog before but we switched Arden to a "big girl" car seat about two months ago.  I want to get her ears pierced ASAP but it seems that there are never two people available to do it at the time we can take her to have it done.
• Loren continues to be an awesome big sister.  She keeps Arden entertained and helps Mommy and Daddy.

I've GOT to get working on FIRST birthday party ideas asap!

Where's Arden?

There she is!
