10 Months Old

WK you are 10 months old. You turned 10 months old yesterday 12-6-12!! Literally 2 months away from your first birthday. That is just crazy to me. Next month I have to plan a special little birthday for you. You are still my sweet and smiley girl. Happy 99.9% of the time. Love all people but are starting to get a little bit of separation anxiety when someone holds you that you don't know. Unless they have a pretty necklace on that is. Last week you reached for a lady at church that you didn't know because her necklace was so pretty you just wanted to touch it. Such a girl already! A lot has happened this month for you. Just this past week you started really crawling (not just crawling backwards) and pulling up. Its like it happened over night. Daddy came into your room last week before bed and you were standing in your crib. You started doing this on Tuesday 12-4-12. You are busy and I have to watch you every second because you put everything in your mouth. You also started talking so much more this month; you have the sweetest little raspy voice and you babble all day long. Around 9 months your very first word was "hey" and now you have a second word "dada." You started saying this about a week or so ago. Daddy is so happy. You know how to wave but only do it when you want to and when we say "yay" you wave both of your little arms up and down. You still only have a little bit of hair and only two little bottom teeth. You have slept through the night ONE time now. Actually last night you did it. It was the first night ever that you have not woken up to eat or cry. I was so thankful for a little more sleep. I hope that you keep it up. We love you sweet girl. Happy 10 Month Birthday. Here are some other things you are up to:

• weighs 20-21lbs
• probably close to 28 inches
• wear some 9-12 months and 12 month clothes
• size 3 diapers and size 3 shoes
• still nursing....usually now it is just for your first feeding and if you wake up at midnight
• gets breast milk in a bottle during the day-you drink milk every 4-5 hours

• eating three solid meals a day- eat a good mix of baby food and table food
• take 2 good naps each day
• enjoy playing in your crib before naps/bedtime
• love Wade and Charlie
• love bath time so much
• love to look at books
• love anything that makes music and lights up
• are so happy when you are outside
• can say hey and dada
• are so silly and love it when people laugh at you
• will stick your tongue out when we ask "where's your tongue?"
• don't love going to sleep by yourself (even though you always have!)-you love it when we come back in your room and let you hold our hand while going to sleep.
• laugh so hard when daddy dances with you
• have started "dancing" when we sing or turn music on
• don't really like t.v. yet (much different than your brother at this age) but you will watch Mickey Mouse for about 2 minutes every now and then
• play really well on the floor until I come into the room and then you want to pull up and climb on me
• said "hey" and then "dada" tonight when my mom was on the phone. Like she was trying to say Hey Dada! Almost everytime I get on the phone she starts yelling "dada." I think she thinks I am talking to him every time!!

This was the 2nd time she pulled up. I saw her do it and quickly ran to get the camera. She somehow gets under stuff...the little trampoline, Wade's bed!! She is going to keep me on my toes.

We love you so much. You are so fun right now and you make us laugh so much each day. We are so thankful for such a happy and silly girl!!
