Where's OUR baby??

Malina is officially done with the "paci"!! I can't believe it was so easy..LOL. It was actually by accident that she stopped..haha. We were in Blythe and I forgot it for the day, of course, I freaked out at first. Then, I decided to see how she'd do without it. All day she was fine:). So, I decided to try at night and again she was fine. Now a week and a half later, she's DONE!! She had a couple whiny moments, but nothing like what I expected.

This week she started waving hi and bye. Last week she would randomly do it, now this week when we leave or arrive she waves. It's really cute!! Of course, it makes me sad cuz she's growing up toooooo fast!!

We are very excited for Malina's first Thanksgiving and holiday season and then her FIRST Birthday!! It's all coming tooo quick!! Stay tuned................

Happy 10 months!!

Our baby girl is getting closer and closer to her first birthday! Everyday she is changing. This last month she really started to grow and become our big girl :(!!

She is growing for sure!! Recently she started wearing size 3 diapers. She was spilling out of the size 2's....hehe. Also, she is now wearing 12 months. I put on her 6-9 months pants, and they were like capri's on her. She can still wear 6-9 on top, but 12 months fit best. My poor girl is growing too quickly!!

She also got her "big" top two front teeth:). Those were a lil painful for her. She woke up the night before they popped out in pain. Shortly after she got her 7th and 8th teeth (both on top). It seems like these teeth are constantly popping out. Now she has 4 on top and 4 on bottom:), and she's trying to eat, chew and BITE everything. We constantly have to tell her "NO" when trying to bite us. Usually she likes biting my arm or leg..lol

All of a sudden, Malina likes to eat again!! She started to eat baby food and even a lil table food. She's so funny because anytime we are eating she comes up to us and wants whatever we are eating. Sometimes we give her little pieces and she LOVES it!! Her bf Kenzi even snuck her a piece of apple , which she liked..hahaha.

She has started to crawl really fast and stand up on EVERYTHING!!! It's so funny to see her stand up on all the time. She really is trying hard to take steps. We are definitely not trying to rush the walking..hahah

She had her 9 month check up and got her flu shot. She actually took the shot really well!! She now weighs 18.4 oz and is 27 inches long. Our baby is growing too quickly!!

Oct 10 Malina's 9th month

1st Pumpkin Patch

Malina went to her first pumpkin patch this weekend!! We went down to visit Nina Heather and cousin Mason this Saturday for some scrapbooking and fun!! We decided to take the kiddos to the pumpkin patch too. Of course, it started to drizzle a lil on our way and while we were there. We didn't stay very long but we did manage to get some pics and see tons of pumpkins. Mason and Malina are too small for most of the fun , so we just walked around a little. Like always, Malina and Mason would not look at the camera at the same time. I did manage to get few pics though.

Now that she's been to the pumpkin patch Malina is ready for her FIRST Halloween!!

Tooo funny!!!

Malina is too funny!! She keeps us laughing and smiling all the time!! She is very happy!! She smiles all the time:). Even when she gets hurt or mad she'll cry quickly (sometimes longer than others..haha) then she's back to her happy self.

She started playing peek-a-boo with us!! She likes to go under the tv tray then come up. She laughs sooooo hard. Also if we hide and say "BOO!" to her she laughs a lot!!
She also has started crawling very quickly EVERYWHERE!! She likes to crawl, look back and if we are coming she goes fast and laughs very hard:). She likes to go places where we tell her not to, of course!

A few other things that make her laugh....people, tv and books!! She likes to play with anyone who will play with her. If she even sees the Kids on Demand channel she gets excited knowing Yo Gabba Gabba is coming on!! She will sit and watch and dance the entire episode...haha. We are sooo happy but she really likes books!! She opens them up and talks to them and sometimes even yells!! She likes her lil photo album that has pictures...she constantly looks at all the pics of her family and friends!

3/4 of the way!!!

Happy 9 months to our lil beauty!!

Yep, she is 9 months old!! I can not believe it!! Time has really gone by quickly. EVERYDAY she is doing something new. She has gotten her forth bottom tooth and I'm starting to wonder if she'll get top teeth...haha:). Last week she also started crawling, no more army crawling!! She is very quick, and definitely know what she wants and crawls after it. She's also continued to stand up on EVERYTHING.

This last week, she has become really clingy :(. I don't mind the clinginess, but it's just when I'm not around and she cries. It's very flattering, but it makes me feel terrible :(. On last Saturday, for the first time the Kids Klub told me she cried the entire time she was there. That made me sad because usually she is always very happy and excited. I did continue to take her all week , and today and yesterday she did better,I'm soo glad!

I'm hoping it is coincidence, but Malina has started shaking her head "no". Malina do you want your paci "no"...malina eat this "no". She shakes her head and puts her lips together too in case you don't understand the head shaking. Speaking of food, this girl does not like baby food anymore. She refuses to eat ANY baby food....uuuugggghhh!!! She will only drink a bottle or eat little snacks (yogurt melts,puffs, etc.), I don't get it!

Each day is a new adventure with this girl!! We look forward to seeing what the 9th month has in store for us!!

Sept 10 Malina's 8th month

Where's our little baby??!!??

Malina is changing way too quickly!! EVERYDAY she does something new. Last week we left her for 3 nights (wahhhh) with Nana and Grandpa while we went to "play" in Vegas for my birthday. I swear in those 3 days she changed so much...haha.

Her 3rd tooth is officially out:). No top teeth yet, but the 4th bottom is now popping out. She loves to use those teeth. She is constantly chewing on everything. Last week I found teeth marks in her crib:(. Thankfully, cousin Mason gave her his railing cover, so now she can't chew on the wood...heheh.
She is also standing very good. She isn't very interested in her toys anymore, she'd rather just walk along the couches. She gets up and then moves side to side, it's quite funny! I also caught her doing laps in her crib holding onto the wood..LOL.

She's had a lil cold off and on. She gets pretty mad when she is stuffed up. She HATES to cough. Her little cough is really cute but I feel bad because she cries when she coughs. Thankfully each time she's been sick there's only been ONE bad day and it's usually or Friday or Saturday night..haha It's like she knows I'll be off the next day. This last Saturday she was soooo uncomfortable and would NOT sleep. Finally after getting up like 5 times in an hour I put her in bed with us. She slept sooo good:). We were both scared the whole night to roll on her. Let me tell u that will not happen often. This girl is ALL OVER. I had her hand on me, then her feet , and finally her butt....needless to say she was back in her crib the next night:).
Yesterday, she started getting on her knees and crawling. She's been rocking back and forth awhile but she finally started crawling. She still goes back and forth with a crawl and a the army crawl, so we'll see what she decides to do..hahahaa.
EVERYDAY she gets much more fun. She definitely keeps us busy and on our toes. We can't wait to see what else she has in store:).

8 months old

CRAZY,CRAZY,CRAZY!!! malina turned 8 months last week and I barely got a second to sit down and update her blog. Daddy's bithday was right after, then Lola's death anniversary, then mommy's birthday. Needless to say, we've been going, going, going since last week.
Malina is doing GREAT!! the lil munchkin is not missing anything. She's started to hold her own bottle (when she wants), rocking back and forth and army crawling a lot and CHEWING her crib:(. Yes, she is is part chipmunk. I looked at her cribn and was stunned to see some of the wood gone. I guess that's out pay back for lowering her crib...haha. We already need to put it all the way down because the lil monkey is still standing up. Of course she has lots of rrom, but still makes us nervous.
Overall, Malina is doing fantastic. If only she would consistently eat, then i'd be super happy. I did start giving her snacks and of course she loves them. I think she's gonna be a snacker like momma:)
