10 months and gobbling.

We are thankful for so much! Our little girl has been here for 10 months now. Hard to believe. I can't believe were the year has gone. She is climbing and pulling herself up on everything, and creeps her away across the couch. She is anxious to walk and I think it will happen sometime soon. She still just has those two bottom teeth. I have been singing to her "all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth". She is drooling like crazy again and gets her bad crabby days, so I'm just waiting for them to pop through. I see a little white uptop...so I think they are making there way. She is saying so many words now...some are hard to understand, but she has me laughing all day with the things she says. She points to everything too. This month was a busy one, and December will just fly by. Looking forward to all the craziness. Life seems to be filled with it lately. Yea, I know a SAHM...going crazy? Sounds easy...not really! It's harder then it looks. And then the month of January...Laila's big ONE! ahhhh...I'm so excited and we have so much to look forward to. Life may be rough for all right now, but I pray and believe it will get better. You got to pray to make it today! ;)

As if i'm not in her face 24/7! These are some of my favs of our Laila bean that have been taken within a month or so. She is growing way too fast. I know people say time flies, which it does...but it's hard for me to remember my life without her. Hard to believe in about a week she will be 10 months. She is so perfect...even if she is a handful these days.

It's ALL worth it.

Even nine months after giving birth to Laila, I am still going through changes. Physically and mentally. My hormones are still going berzerk. I have lost my mind most of the time and can't seem to find it. I find myself forgetting what I was going to say. I never thought being a stay at home mom would make my mind go one hundred miles a minute. But it does! There seems to always be something to do and not enough time.

I have now noticed I have little tiny baby hairs on my head that I can't do anything with! I was trying to grow my hair long, but decided to cut it to about shoulder length to make it a little healthier. I love it but those hairs didn't help any. My stylist told me at about 6-9 months after going through labor, you get breakage to your hair. That explains it. It just happened out of no where it seemed.

I weigh less then I did even before I got pregnant. Which is a good thing, but I want my muscle to come back. When I get the time I go jogging with Laila (thank goodness we are getting cool weather now), some yoga, and tae bo. I am also building back some muscle from picking up my 22 pounder and dancing around the house like a maniac to make her laugh. I love it!

I guess I didn't do enough kegal exercises while pregnant. My bladder seems to be so weak. I have to pee every hour. And I didn't even push Laila out! And another thing my incision is still itchy! It's healing nicely though. It's c-sections for me for the next 3 babes! :)

Sometimes I think I am crazy for wanting to be pregnant again. But I am ready for another...maybe not physically, but mentally. But we shall wait and maybe start trying again near the end of 2010. Let me try to get back to my normal self before we try for the second. Babies...they are SO worth it!

I can't believe it! We are starting the planning of our little bean's birthday bash! Yes, we picked her mama's birthday...little princess took over and it's no more about me! hehe! I know she will never remember this day, but turning one is a big deal. We can't wait to watch Laila smash her face with cake and celebrate the big ONE! Hugs & Drools, The Geraci Fam!

Our October.

This month has been a busy one. With all the Halloween festivities it seemed as though it was never going to end. We are still waiting on the cold weather to arrive. But besides it being not so cool for fall we had a great month and loved having our baby girl here with us this year. It makes the holidays all the more fun! I look forward to starting our own family traditions with Laila.
