Sylvia 10 months

Happy 10th month Sylvia Danielle! She continues to grow bigger and cuter with each passing day.  She has started to stand without holding onto anything for a few seconds before plopping back down.  Sylvia also walks a few steps while holding onto the edge of things (like the couch or table).  She can stick out her tongue and touch her head if you ask her to. (Mommy asks her to stick out her tongue if she thinks Sylvia is eating something she shouldn't)  And can blow kisses and loves playing kiss-y monster with Andrew (that means giving him lots of kisses on his cheek until they are both laughing and laughing).  Sylvia also likes to look at books by herself and can open them and turn the pages.  She is very sweet and cute.  A lot of people say they don't ever hear her cry but she fusses when Andrew takes a toy she is playing with, but he is learning to trade toys with her and share.  

10 month photo shoot

Again, I can't tell which of the two pictures are cuter so both are included.

Trying to stand!

There were a couple of weeks where she liked to stick out her tongue like this.  We remember Andrew's 10 month photo shoot we couldn't get him to not stick out his tongue.  Maybe all babies go through this stage?

Tickle baby!

Our beautiful little princess

 Here are some pictures of Andrew and Sylvia playing together.

Hugs before church.

Andrew is a sweet big brother.

The slide from Aunt Lissa in the playroom has been worth countless hours of fun.  Thanks Aunt Lissa!! 

 Sylvia has about two hairstyle options at this point, one pig tail or two.

 Sylvia is starting to only like food she can feed herself and not pureed baby foods as much.  

Sylvia was eating greek yogurt and got it all over her face....

This is Andrew cracking up at her messy face.

 Well hello there.

 Candy cane baby playing with some of her Christmas toys.

Mommy and Sylvia hanging out. She likes bonking her foreheads as a way of playing and saying hello.

 Riding on daddy's shoulders while waiting in line to see Santa. 

Wasn't worth the wait! Sylvia freaked out so much when she was sitting on Santa's lap. That scared Andrew too so he refused to talk to Santa. He still got a candy cane though. 

Bonus Andrew picture: He loves to draw and will sit at the table to color and draw almost every day.
