Maria at 10 months

Today is Maria's 10 month birthday. When I think about how many pictures I've taken of my kids through the years, these bear pictures are my favorite. Each kid has had their own bear. From the newborn stage and every month following to their first bday, I take their picture to see how they've changed in the previous month. Here is what Maria looks like at 10 months:




She is so sweet! She loves her brother and sisters (I think she's especially fond of Lydia who can make her laugh just by looking at her)! She isn't crawling yet and I'm not a bit sad about that. She's eating mostly baby food still, but I hope to graduate her to more chunky stuff soon (I've tried already, but it didn't go well).

There are only 2 more months until her first birthday and then the bear pictures will be finished...after 4 kids and 5 1/2 years, I guess it's about time :)
