Malachi,

 

November was a busy month all around. You had ANOTHER double ear infection and we have a referral for ENT for you. Hopefully we can get all of this figured out soon because this is absolutely no fun!

 

We started transitioning you to a sippy cup this month and you drink water from it no problem at all. We are going to try to transition you off of the bottle and 100% on the sippy cup. You still love meal times and you really love food. When you see food you are READ to eat and get so excited. If it takes us too long you let us know how impatient you really are.

 

You spent a few  days with Papa and Gigi in Ohio while Momma, Daddy and Dominick went to WDW again. You had a great time and got lots of spoiling while we were away.

 

We were able to celebrate your first Thanksgiving (in Michigan) and being the food lover that you are you were a BIG fan of Thanksgiving.

 

You now have 8 teeth and another one is fixin to come in. You are getting SO close to standing from sitting unassisted and have started taking a few steps at a time. We are all waiting for it to really happen and cheering you on while also hoping you take your time and stay little. You wave hi and bye and it’s the absolute cutest. You will also say bye which I guess is your first official word (although we think you said momma before bye, but we’re not sure if you’re just making the m sound over and over or saying momma). You also started clapping and I just love that. You have such a great personality and it’s really starting to come out more and more. This month your personality has really soared!!!!! One thing that I love that you do is if we’re not looking at your or paying you as much attention as you think we should you will put your face RIGHT in our face and when we look at you you will cheese SO hard. You also understand the word no and sometimes you give us a little grin and keep doing it, while other times you cry. Some mornings Dom gets on the bus before you wake up and he will whisper outside your door, “bye Malachi” and give you an air hug. It’s the sweetest thing.

 

One of my favorite things is going to see Santa really early in the year when there’s essentially no line. Dominick NEVER cried or was scared of Santa, but for your first trip let’s just say I got the crying picture I always laugh at. You were NOT fan.

 

Kai baby,

 

You are SO loved and such a wild little thing. It’s hard to believe you’re entering the double digits in months. These t10 months have flown by, but we are so lucky you are ours. Your smile lights up my life and I couldn’t be more grateful, proud, lucky and happy to be your momma. You filled a void in my life that I didn’t know was missing. You are such a dream baby and also very much a hip baby. You love to be held and don’t play all that great by yourself. We try, but honestly nobody likes it when you cry so someone always comes to you. Malachi I hope you always know how loved you are because it’s a tremendous amount. Happy TEN months, muffin!

 

Love you to infinity and beyond,

Momma
