So Jemma is about 10.5 months old and she is such a cutie. She is getting more fun every day!
She smiles all the time. All I have to do is bounce her a few times on my hip and she is smiling and squealing with laughter.
She also has recently started making loud, happy noises. It started when we were in Detroit last weekend. She will screech super loud. She likes doing it in enclosed cars and in restaurants. It only happens when she is happy and she likes doing it. We keep saying we need to teach her to use indoor voices. It's not really appropriate to discipline her because she isn't doing anything wrong but it can be quite loud sometimes!
She has a little wheeled thing that she sits on and we pull her down the hallway and she loves it. She has learned to pick her feet up when she is going to that they don't drag on the floor. She can even get onto it by herself now. Her feet can't quite touch the ground when she's on it though but I think she is going to love being on that thing as soon as they do.
She is getting way pickier about food! She spits stuff out all the time now. It can be quite frustrating. I fed her potatoes with beef the other day and she swallowed all the potatoes and spit out the beef. She seems to only eat meat if it is pureed with other stuff. We have these little yogurt puffs that sometimes she likes and sometime she spits out. She doesnt seem to like the cereal puffs anymore either. She LOVES fruit though and yogurt. She seems to be bottomless when it comes to them. She is getting pretty good at feeding herself and I have been giving her a spoon recently to try out also. She does ok with getting it in her mouth but it might turn upside down and a million other ways first, then she wont give the spoon back so I have to get another one to keep feeding her. I had high hopes of making Jemma all her food but that idea sort of hit the fan. When I was morning sick i just didnt have the energy after work so we started using jars of baby food. They work well.
Cloth diapering is going ok but is getting a little frustrating. They have started to get smells that I cant seem to get out. I let them air in the sun and put vinegar in the wash and some still have a mildewy smell. I wonder if that is cause it is summer and humid. I don't know ... They arent really stained though which is good. I have been using the dryer a lot lately too due to laziness instead of hanging them up. I used disposibles the entire time we were in Detroit and, honestly, it was kinda nice.
I am still breastfeeding Jemma but only once a day, in the morning when she first wakes up. I'm not sure how much actually comes out though but I know she is getting something. She seems to have no interest in it in the evenings. I have completely stopped pumping as well. With the next baby, I want to try and make it to a year, but with Jemma, that just wasn't possible.
Her favorite toys now are doggie, a blue and pink inflatable ball, stacking cups and her chairs. She LOVES sitting on things, including the ball, chairs and even dogs.
Silky does not seem to like her and growls at her all the time. It makes me worried sometimes that silky will bite her one day. Jemma is definitely getting better about being gentle with her but sometimes still pulls on her ears on tails. But it is super cute when she stands there and pets the dog.
She is also getting pretty good at walking! She can easily go over 10 steps and does it pretty repeatedly. She then falls on her butt. But she is definitely getting there!
