10 Months

I can't believe my girls are 10 months old today! They just keep getting more and more fun. This last month, we were able to go spend a little over a week at my mom and dad's house in Utah! It's so nice to be able to take trips down there. It's hard being away from Chad, but it's nice to spend some time with my family! We were also able to celebrate their first Halloween! We didn't go trick-or-treating, but we dressed them up all cute and took them to Chad's sister's house for pizza and to see cousin Adi. 

10 Months

(7 months adjusted)

Avery

• So sweet to everyone but Harper. She is kind of a bully. Multiple times a day I'll have to separate the two of them because Harper is screaming while Avery is pulling her hair/stealing her toys/grabbing Harper's head and trying to eat it, you know, the usual. I know I shouldn't think it's funny, but it seriously cracks me up. Below are some examples...

• Really close to crawling. She pivots/scoots/rolls everywhere
• Loves to eat solids/hates bottles. It's a chore to get her to eat her bottles
• Definitely likes the sound of her own voice. She's constantly babbling, making playful screaming noises (which are super high-pitched and extra adorable), trying to talk to me. She loves it when I babble back at her
• Loves all toys - doesn't have any favorites in particular
• Super smiley, but is getting really shy. If she's in an unfamiliar place, she gets really clingy.
• Has figured out if she sticks out her lower lip, she can get pretty much whatever she wants. She knows how to tug on my heartstrings, that's for sure
• Definitely a mama's girl
• Still no teeth

 First itty bitty ponytail! I die.

I put a burp cloth on her head and seriously laughed for like five minutes. For some reason, it was absolutely hilarious to me haha

Harper

• Has recently gotten SO happy! If people look at her, she gives them the biggest, open-mouthed smile. I catch her laughing all the time at her toys, Avery, the wall, whatever
• Loves when Chad sings to her. She lights up the second he starts
• Busy, busy body. She's so fast! If she sees something she wants, she's gonna get it
• Also very close to crawling! She's a little closer than Avery, which is no surprise because of her constant moving
• Still adores Avery, which is so cute, but it kind of breaks my heart that Avery doesn't always reciprocate haha
• Loves all food. She's still extra chunky :)
• Yells a lot. She's got a lower pitched voice and it's so funny. She, like her sister, loves the sound of her voice. She's a gabber
• Has the saddest crying face. It will break your heart into a million pieces. She's also learned how to get what she wants. We're workin' on it...
• Favorite toys include her hairbrush and baby spoons. Not even kidding. We have a whole box of baby toys (which she likes) but her favorites are the spoon and brush. She carries them around with her. She also loves bouncing in her jumper
• Daddy's girl
• Has two teeth! And they are so stinkin' cute! I should get a picture.

I've been trying to get a good picture of how curly her hair is getting. This isn't great but you can kind of see those little curls at the bottom. They are absolutely darling. I am so excited!

Both Girls

• Currently wearing size 3 diapers (and have been for a WHILE. Thank goodness for Costco)
• Clothes are size 6-9 or 9 month
• Both get jealous when one baby is getting more attention than the other
• Still sleeping well. They both had a weird spell where they would wake up at 12:30am and be awake till around 4:30am every night. It was horrible and we couldn't figure out why the sudden change. Needless to say, we were sleep deprived and SO frustrated. I tried to think about when this spell started and if we did anything different. The only thing I could think of was that the first night it happened, we started giving them Ibuprofen instead of Tylenol (for teething) because it lasts longer. It was the only change we had made, but seemed so random. Anyway, that night I switched back to Tylenol and they slept 11 hours straight. Since then, they've slept great. The last few nights, they've been sleeping 12-13 hours! No more Ibuprofen for these babies!

First trip to Costco!

First otterpops (obviously at grandma and grandpas)! They loved them, duh. 

 Playdate with our next door neighbor, Ellie! Love her.

 PUMPKINS! Chad's Aunt Terry made the hats and we are in love.

We love you so much baby girls! Pretty soon it'll be Christmas and before we know it, you'll be ONE!
