Even though this picture is kind of blurry and weird, it instantly reminded me of something.


Can you see it?

walking

Don't get too excited, it's not real walking. She's pushing her walker toy and going pretty fast!

10 months

Happy 10 months, sweet baby girl!

Best things (so far) about 10 months:
-after her first steps last week, lots more walking to come this month
-quickly growing hair
-showing independence
-able to follow simple commands (give mommy your paci, etc.)
-LOTS of hugs and big open mouth kisses
-the dreaded top teeth are coming through and should ease the teething pain
-so far, better nighttime sleeping and 2 solid daytime naps
-more experimental with food (she loved salmon!)
-can go up stairs and is working on going down

Hard things about 10 months:
-mini tantrums complete with back arching and flailing
-throwing food
-showing independence (see also best things)
-really seriously getting into everything

backpack

I've been wanting to try this out for a long time. This way she can stay close to me while I do important things like the dishes, laundry, and getting ready. I figured out how to put her in it myself and it's not so hard - hooray!

Oh, daddy!

more videos!

In this 30 second video see if you can spot all of the following:
jibberish, a big cheese smile, pooping (sorry), a hiccup, two bottom teeth, crazy hair, sticking her tongue out, and biting my knee?



We've been working on clapping for a long time and I think she's starting to get the hang of it!


Man does this girl love clementines!
