10 Months!



I think my baby girl grew into a pre-toddler over the past month. 

 

Just look at those long legs...

Momma, I'm a big girl!!

 

I know...It makes me cry a little on the inside, but I'm so proud of everything you are learning to do!

Yeah, like my pulling up trick?!

Yes, like your pulling up trick.



 

Hmm...that's pretty far to reach...

 





I think I'll just peel my number off instead.  That's a fun trick too.

See, Momma, I got it off all in once piece.

 

Yes, sweetheart and I saw you did the same thing at least 10 times already.  Let's put it back on...

 

Again...

 

Ok!  You better hurry up and get your shot!

 

Yay!! Momma helped me reach!

 

Hehe!  Try to catch me now!!

 

So what is happening at 10 months?

 

She still loves to laugh, smile, babble, and imitate annoying sounds that her daddy teaches her.  It's funny until you have to listen to the same sound for an hour straight in Target. ;)

She still doesn't crawl.  She seems to get close, but she ultimately just scoots on her bottom to get where she's going.

She is now a wiggle worm when she sleeps.  She rolls to her side, belly, and back again.  Sometimes she sleeps with her bottom sticking up in the air.

She can sit up from a lying position.

She can pull up all by herself, but she prefers to have some help if you're nearby.

She is getting really good with finger foods.  She loves bananas and those little dried yogurt bites that taste like space ice cream.  She has been trying a lot of soft foods.

She loves baby yogurt.  She'll down a whole pouch in 5 minutes flat.

She loves giving hugs and kisses.

She will lick you in the mouth if you're not careful.

She loves her Pooh Bear.  She holds him up by her face and pats his bottom like he's her little baby.

She loves the dogs, and if they'll sit still for her, she'll pat them, hug them, and pull their ears.

She got her first two teeth about 3 days after my last post.  She acts like there are more coming...

She still goes to bed around 8 and wakes up once during the night.  Then she's up around 6:30 every morning.

She usually takes 2 naps...A short one in the morning, a long one in the afternoon.

She wears size 4 diapers.

She wears size 12 month clothes, ideally.  I'm still trying to make her 9 month summer stuff stretch until it gets cold enough for some new fall clothes.  It's 100 degrees outside right now, on September 10th...

 

It "feels like" 102 with the heat index.

 

Let us take a moment to soak that in.

 

Now, I hear a baby girl... er... pre-toddler talking to herself because she just woke up from a nap.  I'm gonna go scoop her up and call her my sweet baby.
