10 months old

Adalyn turned 10 months old today. It is quite difficult for me to believe that we'll be celebrating her first birthday so soon. I've started getting a few things ready for her party and now I better work on it some more as the busy holidays are here and then her birthday is just a few weeks after that. Here are some pictures of her this morning:

Standing in the living room


Doing a backwards wave



At 10 months, Adalyn:

-Has 4 teeth through, the bottom two and the top two eye teeth (little fangs!)

-Can pull up to stand throughout the house (using the couch, chair, kitchen cabinets and chairs, toilet and bathtub, bed, crib, etc. to stand)

-"Cruises" walks around things holding on as she goes (playpen, crib, couch to couch, and using us to hold on to)

-Lets go with one hand and briefly with both hands

-Waves, claps, gives a low "five"

-Babbles a lot, mostly da da sounds and says things that sound like words but not consistently yet

-Has been feeding herself pieces of puffed cereal since just over 8 months, and now loves feeding herself pieces of toast and cooked vegetables too

-Has been drinking out of a cup with help starting at 6 months and has been using the cup with a spout by herself for about the last two months

-Loves eating spaghetti and lasagna jarred meals, all types of fruit, our pasta and rice dinners that I puree for her, baby oatmeal and most vegetables

-Not so fond of eating potatoes, chicken or beef with vegetable jarred meals, and carrots

-Loves her mommy and daddy and sometimes takes a while to get used to anyone else :) (but after she does, she loves playing with everyone!)

-Entertains us every day with her cute smiles and new tricks!!

We sure do love our little girl!
