10 Months Old!

Mila turned 10 months this past weekend but since we were on the cape we couldn't take her 10 month picture until we got back.  But she didn't seem to mind.  She is so happy all the time it is fantastic.  She is getting closer to walking.  She will push off the couch and stand for a good 15 seconds before sitting down.  She walks up and down the hallway with the support of the wall and is so proud of herself when she gets to the end.  She is pretty much done with baby food but sometimes will eat it when she doesn't like the adult food we are having.  Right now she is obsessed with bananas.  When she sees one on the table she screams and reaches for it.  Then gobbles it up, we don't even cut it up for her anymore.

Memorial Day Weekend

We enjoyed a long weekend on the cape.  We drove down on Friday afternoon and got 3 full days to work on the house.  The weather was cold and rainy until Monday so there wasn't much time to be distracted at the beach.  However, Monday was a beautiful day so we were able to relax a little bit.  We played on the front lawn, Elan rode is tricycle up and down the quiet street, we went to the beach and on the way home we stopped at the icecream shack and got a scoop. 

Go Bruins!

We decided to stay in Framingham this weekend.  We had a birthday party to go to on Saturday and then a lot of house work to catch up on that we have been neglecting since buying the cape house.  One of the things we did was go buy Elan a Bruins hockey stick and puck.  He likes shouting "Go B's!"  And this usually makes Mila laugh which is really cute.

 

She is such a happy girl!

It's tiring on the cape

We had another busy work weekend on the cape house.  The bathroom is almost finished but we still have a lot to do before the first renter arrives.  On Saturday Elan didn't want to take a nap because "he wasn't tired", so, after I got Mila to fall asleep I took Elan to the grocery store.  After about 10 min of shopping he fell asleep.  So I slowly finished the grocery shopping and when I got home Mila was alseep in Mat's lap.  So put Elan down next to Mat thinking that it would wake him up...but no luck.  Sure, he didn't need a nap!

Our little eater

 Mila has shown an interest in food lately.  At school sometimes she will only eat the "real" food and refuses to eat baby food.  She is growing up so fast.

Relaxing on the lawn

There is nothing better than a warm sunny spring day relaxing on the front lawn.  And Mila looks great in her hat!

Golf Break

We took a break this weekend for some miniature golfing.  The Pirate's Cove miniature golf course is right by the cape house and a great course.  This weekend all proceeds went to the Yarmouth food bank.  Elan had a blast until he lost his ball in the water.  Luckily it was on the 16th hole so played with Mat's ball.  Afterwards Elan got his face painted like a pirate.   

And, of course, we spent a little time digging at the beach

9 Month Checkup

 Today Mila had her 9 Month checkup.  The doctor was really impressed with all of her new skills and she was showing off like crazy.  It was really nice because he would ask if she was doing something and I would say yes...and then she would show him.  He also kept telling me how cute she is...I couldn't agree more.  Below are her stats:

 

Weight: 18lbs 12oz......42nd Percentile

Length: 27.5 inches...... 39th Percentile

Head Circumference: 44.5cm...... 59th Percentile
