Blog | Ten Months ...
Yesterday, this little rascal turned 10 months old. It was a very cold day so we bundled up before going out. She is growing fast (18 lbs as of this morning), and is starting to move even faster. She pulls up on just about anything she can get her hands on, regardless of whether or not that object is stable.
She still doesn’t crawl in the traditional sense. Instead, she has settled on the army crawl — keeping a low profile is important when you are hunting kitties!
She continues to eat pretty much whatever we give her, including newly added carrots, green beans, and even leeks. She even likes her peas now, preferably mixed with applesauce and a touch of apricot. She is not a huge fan of cauliflower or zucchini, but that may be because of texture. The doctor recommends that we try cutting up small pieces of these food items and seeing if she will eat them that way. We will try that soon. She does love to eat puffs, particularly peach puffs, and will also eat small cut up pieces of banana and carrots. Next up are blueberries, spinach, and turkey.
Her favorite activities these days include squeaking the ladybug on her play mat (see above), crawling over to various books, picking them up, and handing them to us to read to her (very sweet),turning the pages of her books, saying bye-bye all the time (even when she really means hello), playing with her activity center, playing peek-a-boo (no assistance needed from Mommy or Daddy other than the actual words), knocking over any structure we make with her blocks, and mooing. Yes mooing. She moos whenever I moo at her, and as of last night, she moos when she sees her toy cow. Oh, and she loves (and I do mean loves) cables/strings/cords of all shapes and sizes. It is a bit difficult to practice the piano these days unless Jason is home b/c she gets into everything (the phone cord, Jason’s guitar cords, etc.)! Needless to say, we have started baby-proofing the house.
Here is one last picture — she was very puzzled as to how she was going to get her hands on that caterpillar…
