10 Months (The Many Faces of Merit)

 Here is the nose wrinkle smile.

 Here is the happy Chapter snuggle smile.

 This is the "Chapter hit me" face. :)

And this one might be my favorite of the month.  Swinging in the yard with her fluffy hair!

Merit is pretty much a doll.  She grew all 4 top teeth in a week this month.  It was a miserable week for all of us, haha.  This month we discovered that Merit loves to swing!  It was a pretty big surprise because Chapter HATED swinging (still kind of does) and it just makes Merit giggle and giggle.  

She still isn't walking, but I attribute that to her crawling prowess and the fact that we tore out the wall between the kitchen and living room so she is pretty much always locked up in a bedroom or in her high chair (or downstairs, but that room is so full of furniture from upstairs that there isn't much room).  This month we started styling her hair in a faux hawk and it seriously cracks me up!  I can't believe it took me this long to do it.  

And here's a picture of the Chap-man-do because he always wants a picture too:)
