10 Months Old!

Today Gabre is 10 months old. I cannot believe how fast the last three months have gone. She has changed so much from just 9 to 10 months. Her personality is really starting to develop and I think we have a little comedian. Well she makes us laugh all the time. We look at her everyday and think how lucky we are to be her parents.
Here are some of the things Gabre can do at 10 months:

-She is starting to pull herself up to stand.
-She loves to stand, none of that crawling stuff.
-She has two bottom teeth.
-She likes to point with her left index finger.
-She can finally find shoes that fit. She can fit into size 0-3 month shoes now.
-She dances whenever any music comes on.
-She loves her Tofu.
-She still does not love her car seat.
-She had ice cream for the first time and loved it.
-She still has to fall asleep in mom's arms for all naps and nighttime.
-She is about 17 lbs. and 28 in.


First time eating ice cream.

Hi there, I just found your blog and have to say how adorable Gabre is! Happy 10 months!

By the way how do you pronounce Gabre? Silly question I know.

Our daughter will be 10 months on Sunday! I think you have the only girl with smaller feet than our baby girl as she still wears a 1, though she's almost in a 2! Size 2's are so much easier to find!!! I share in your joy and in all the things these sweet babies are doing! God bless. Cheri in Missouri

What tiny feet!! Gabre is so beautiful!! Leah, would you mind sending me some information on the yahoo group? I can't find it through googling. My husband and I plan to start the process for Ethiopia in Sept. We have a daughter from China as well, and would love to have you join us at FCC playgroups. We meet every Tuesday afternoon. Let me know if you would like to be on the listserv.

Your daughter is beautiful! My son was at the same orphanage as Gabre - although not at the same time, since he was there in May 2007 - July 2007. She wasn't even born yet! :)

We are official now and have started our Ethiopia adoption!!! And we are using your agency which so far has been great. I am so glad I ran across your blog the first time and saw your agency!
You guys are great and seeing your daughter makes me so happy thinking of our little girl that will be joining our family some day!

What a dollbaby! My she's a cutie! Btw, where do you get all of her adorable headbands/bows? I am DYING to shop for our baby but since we have no idea how big or small she'll be I can't. But headbands and bows are pretty safe :) Love these new pics. She's gorgeous! Oh, I meant to ask you, how did you find her name? It's so pretty. We'd like to look for Amharic names but didn't know where to start. Thanks. Sorry for the long post :)

Nicholas said...

Hey! Thanks for the comment about Tessa Bezu! She's three!

They always look bigger in pictures, but her latest measurements have her at a mere
27lbs!! Not for long! :)
