Messes

The only way to sum up our little girl at 10 months is that she loves to make messes! It is so hard to get mad at her when she is so cute at making them. Here's a few of her recent discoveries...

Makayla loves the tupper ware lid drawer. She pulls all the lids out then leaves to find another mess to make.

 One day she found our junk mail cupboard and pulled all the paper out of it. She was very proud.

 That same day she discovered that toilet paper can come off the roll

 Pulling all the diapers off her changing table is another of Kayla's favorite things to do.

 She is obsessed with our new shutters. She loves to pull on them and try to open and close them. We tell her no, which she understands, but then she just gives us this cheesy smile and goes back to playing with them.

 My favorite day was when Kayla got into my bathroom drawer and found a pad and tampon. She crawled all over the house with them and was having so much fun.

 She managed to open the tampon and was sucking on the string. I can't wait until she goes on her first date and we can pull out our blog book to show her date this story!

 Some days I feel like all I do is follow Kayla around and clean up her messes, but who can resist such a cute little explorer!

I made breakfast the other day and made Makayla her own plate.

 She had a baby sized pancake, bananas, and eggs. Most of it ended up every where but her mouth.

 A few more highlights from November:

• Makayla has been sick almost the whole month. First it was the flu, then it turned into a cold. I took her into the doctor last week and it turns out she had croup and an ear infection in her right ear. Even for being sick the whole month, she was so happy. Just night time was bad because her cough would keep her up.
• She is still the happiest baby. When ever we go to the store she loves to smile at all the people. Every one comments on how happy she is.
• Makayla is starting to "talk". Some of her favorite words include "da-da", "ma-ma" and "doh".
• Our new favorite nickname for Makayla is Kayla-Bugs.
• She loves to give her daddy kisses. Just this morning Tyler came in the room and she crawled over to him and gave him the biggest kiss. It's definitely a slobbery kiss, but we love them still.
• Makayla started at a new day care place. She seems to love it and our new baby sitter has her on a good schedule.
• Our little stinker is so close to walking. She can cruise on some of the furniture. We are in big trouble when she starts walking.
• She has a little piece of hair in the back that sticks straight up. No matter what I do to get it to lay down, it goes back up.
• In the mornings Makayla will drink her bottle in our bed. She still loves her blankie and likes to rub it on her cheek while she drinks her bottle.

We just love our little girl and can't believe how lucky we are to have her in our family!
