10 Month Update!

   

This little miss has 3 teeth, 2 pigtails, and a truckload of sassy personality.
 

Age: 10 months

 

Stats: Weighed  19lb 8oz (69th percentile) and was 28" tall (46th percentile) - although these are not official doctor's visit  measurements, wears size 6-12 months in clothing, size 3 diapers & has 3 teeth (2 bottom middle and 1 top left)!

 

Favorite Foods: Same as 9 months, plus pepperoni! That is definitely her jam! On the flip side, she hates black beans. I mean hates. I gave her one when we were at Chipotle and the Epic Bean Meltdown of 2015 (said in a booming James Earl Jones voice) occurred. Whoa. You would have thought the world was going to end.

 

Words: Same as 9 months, plus she has started repeating things! I don't know if she knows what they mean, but she has said goodnight (when Daddy was reading her Goodnight Moon), shorts (when Momma was changing her clothes) and hello, all really clearly. She has also increased her really cute babbling this past month. 

 

Favorite Activities: Same as 9 months, plus clapping! About a week ago she just started clapping one morning out of nowhere. So cute! And we have also taught her to high five. I'll put my hand up and say "high five!" and she will slap me some skin and laugh like it is the funniest joke on the planet! She is also loving practicing different facial expressions. She has started doing that silly fake smile that all kids seem to end up doing in pictures at some point. It cracks us up!

 

Favorite Things: Same as 9 months, plus swinging! We had been going to the park in the past, but now she is sooo into it. We have been going every night after dinner, before bed. The higher the swinging, the happier the little chick. She gets so sad when we have to leave. Did I mention balloons before? We went into Party City and she almost didn't know what to do with herself. All of those mylar balloons lined up on the wall.. this little one went crazy! Flags too. Waving in the breeze. So funny to her!

Least Favorite Things: Same as 9 months, plus black beans, per the aforementioned meltdown scenario.

 

Signature Moves: Same as 9 months, plus she has started to grab and hold on to us when we pick her up (that sound you hear is my heart melting into a puddle). She has also become a super pro at standing with no hands. Even when she gets excited and flaps her arms, she can keep her balance. She has tried to take some steps on her own a few times, but so far not much success. Her crawling has transformed into this crazy, super fast monkey crawl (G came up with that). This girl can get around!

 

 

 

Both your Daddy and I have noticed how much more grown up you seem this month. Time sure is flying by, but we are trying to enjoy every moment of your journey.
