Yay for Milestones!

It’s been awhile, hasn’t it?

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!  Ours was jam packed with family time…from the Thanksgiving Day Turket Trot, the family flag football game and 2 Thanksgiving dinners.  The whirlwind of activity left Malia and I a little exhausted.  We spent a lot of time taking naps and enjoying time at home.  No Black Friday shopping for this dynamic duo!

There have been some big developments for my little Malia as she works her way to 10 months.  She says ‘Da da’ and ‘Ma ma’ with ease and frequency but more importantly she’s starting to associate them to Mommy and Daddy.  Of course, Mama comes out more often when she’s upset and needs comforting.  She also knows who Brian Wilson is.  LOL!  We say “Where’s Brian Wilson?” and she immediately searches for the Brian Wilson action figure that sits on the bedside table and breaks out with a big smile.  Awesome!  LOL  She’s known that for awhile though.

She also knows how to wave hello and goodbye.  She’s becoming quite the social butterfly, waving at random people as we shop at a store or leave the doctor’s office.  On cue, she waves her hand as someone flashes her a smile and does it again as they leave.

One of my absolute favorite things that she’s learned is her “Touchdown!”  We yell out “Touchdown!” and she throws her arms up in the air.  🙂  She did it a lot during the Monday Night Chicago-San Francisco Game.  Ha!  I love my little football girl!

Anyway – her development has been awesome.  Today at her wellness check-up she measured at 27 inches and 17 lbs 2 ozs.  She’s still my little peanut but growing up so fast.  Love my little muchkin.
