10 Months

In 2 more short months I will be planning your one year birthday.  I can't believe how fast you are growing up!!!!  You have the cutest personality and are one very determined little girl.  Walking is right around the corner.  I can't walk away from you for a second because you just want so badly to walk and will let go of whatever you're holding on to just to try to walk.  After about 4 controlled steps, you get incredibly wobbly for a couple more steps, then falling flat on your face or into the corner of a table.  NOT SAFE!!!  Lots of bruising going on here!  You are getting so smart and I can tell you are understanding more each day.  Here's some things you're doing at 10 months.

*  still drinking 4-6 oz. depending on what you feel at that moment
*  still fighting me on baby food but is a little better than last month with all the teething going on 
*  eating bites of just about everything that I am eating (especially likes to eat Nana's Southern cooking every Saturday)
*  waves bye bye on demand (says "dye") ....has the cutest wave I have ever seen...it is backwards from the Miss America wave
*  knows all done (both hands wave)
*  starting to understand me when I say milk...she starts whimpering around because she wants it so bad
*  loves to do pat-a-cake
*  already discussed the walking in the first paragraph....it's getting close
*  hates it when we put you in the walker because you want to get down on the floor
*  sleeping ...ehhh...decent.  You still wake up several times a night.  Sometimes it's just for a paci check.  Other times it is for a quick snuggle and rock.  OR even for a quick bottle.  If none of that works, you come to bed with me.  BUT YOU SWEAT LIKE CRAZY!!!  So then I take you back to your crib. 
*  Loves to swim.  We have been having issues with you getting sick though after we swim so we decided no more for you for a while.  But the temperature is very hot and so is the pool water so we tried it again.  Maybe it was warmer for you and you won't get a cold. 
*  Probably 18 pounds
*  Wears 12 month clothes
*  Size 2 and 3 shoes
*  You have decided you don't like daycare or the nursery at Church...you cry when I leave you and I hear you screaming at school when I pick you up.  They say you don't do it all day.  I sure hope not!!!!

You are a spoiled rotten mess and we love you!!!!  You make us very happy parents and love watching you grow.

This may be picture overload!!!
