10 months!

Today marks Cadence's 10 month birthday--I can't believe she will be a year old in 2 months now--it's crazy!  Yesterday we ended up getting a few pictures taken with the other babies and some with just our family as well, and unfortunately Cadence was not her normal happy smiley self--of course until the pictures were over.  I think she was just hungry, tired, and in a wet diaper, and I can't blame her!  Taking pictures with small children is exhausting--and 5 babies together--yikes!  It'll be interesting to see how they turned out.

She had her 9 month check-up last week, and came in at 19 lbs. 3 oz. and 29.75 inches.  So we're almost too tall for the infant carrier, but 13 oz. shy of weighing enough for the next car seat.  Guess we'll just wait and see if we can't pack some ounces on her soon!

Cadence has tried lots of new foods lately--watermelon, egg yolks, chicken, cottage cheese, yogurt...bread is still her favorite, but she really chowed down on the watermelon tonight!  She can definitely crawl now, although it's still just an army crawl, and she always wants to be standing and walking around.  It gets pretty exhausting, especially since I'm busy growing baby #2, too! 

Speaking of baby #2, I told my parents today and James told his dad, which is probably as many people as we'll tell (including James's mom and the Swaffords) until our first appointment.  I'm definitely still pregnant, and got my first taste of morning sickness this morning.  I'm happy to report though that all I had eaten was a banana, and bananas are really not that foul smelling coming back up--still gross throwing up, for sure, but way better than my battle with chicken salad when I was pregnant with Cadence.  Thus far Baby #2 has not been as kind as Cadence was--and I will remember this when it comes time to hand out an allowance!
