Almaz 10 Month Update

Beautiful Baby Almaz turned 10 months last week! She has definitely changed a lot since she first joined our family in July. She's put on a lot of weight (I'm having a hard time finding pants to fit her big belly) and is moving around like a rocket. She's just started to stand on her own and, quite literally, just stands there until she gets bored or tired.

Her bottom two teeth are huge and she's been working on her top two teeth for almost a month! She has a constantly runny nose and is a big drool monster. We are very anxious for those teeth to come in. Thankfully the teething process hasn't affected her sleep or her happy temperment.

Alex and Almaz have a lot of fun together. Alex loves hugging Almaz but we are always reminding him that he needs to be gentle when he hugs her since his hugs are more like tackles. Grant taught Alex how to do the Body Slam wrestling move and now Alex tries to "Baby Slam" Almaz (his words). I always need to be watching him/them. Alex's methods for getting me to go to another room have become quite comical and not very subtle (example: "Mommy, go away. Go to the baffroom.")

I had to include this picture! It makes me think of Will Smith in Hitch when he has an allergic reaction to the seafood!
