10 Months

Our little girl hit the 10 month mark yesterday and there is officially no looking back in terms of her mobility. She can crawl and climb with the best of them (as evidenced by the races she and her friend Miles had this weekend...more on that to come) and she's pretty steady on her feet when we walk with her. Yikes! After weeks of painful gums and a few restless nights her top two teeth have finally popped through, for a total of 4. But watching her eat you would think she has a teeth to spare. If there's one thing this child excels at it's eating. For the sake of convenience we send baby food with her to day care but other than that she eats all table food and can easily take up to an hour for each meal. Not because she's pokey, but because she's a bottomless pit. She lives up to her new nickname of Crested Screamer and loves to make sure she's heard. She is becoming both more affectionate and also more attached to mom & dad, making day care drop off a little teary. The drama factor is definitely increasing when she's irritated, but the snuggles, hugs, and klunks (as we call her little forehead-to-forehead bangs) are absolutely priceless.

Here's Little Miss Busy (and a sneak peek at parts of her new room):
