Here are some of the things she's been up to the last month:
Walking: She mastered the walking thing. Just a few days after turning 9 months old, she had it down. Now she very rarely crawls and prefers walking. She falls about a billion times a day because she just doesn't care what is in her way, she'll walk over it! It's fun to have her walking, she follows me everywhere and looks like such a big girl!
Talking: She still talks ALL. THE. TIME! On our various trips for different Christmas gatherings, she pretty much yaked the whole time. Like an entire 2.5 hour car trip... And she's loud! She says Mama, Dada, more, Gigi (her giraffe), and no, no, no. Sometimes we think she says "hi" and "all done" but it's hit or miss so we're not sure :-)
Toys: She got a Bitty Baby for Christmas from her grandparents and absolutely loves it. It's really sweet because she mimics what I do. She's always picking it up and giving the baby hugs and kisses and sometime she'll pick it up and pat it's back. It's so sweet!
She got like a billion toys for Christmas so she's had fun playing with all of those. She loves the bongo drums her uncles got her because she just loves to dance.
She also of course still loves giraffe. She's started calling it Gigi like I mentioned before. She takes it everywhere and it's looking
Bathtime: She still loves bathtime, but had a few days there where she hated it. We think it's because we got her a whale bath toy to play with, it makes noise and shoots water. She's deathly afraid of it. And a few days after that, she acted scared of the tub. But the whale is in hiding and she's back to her normal splashing self. She also has those foam bath letters that stick to the side of the tub. She will only play with the green ones. What's with that? She will pick up say a red one, look at it, and chuck it to the side and repeat until she finds a green one. Then she chews on it. It's kinda strange but very funny at the same time.
Other than that, there's not much new, walking was the big thing this month. We're hoping she slows down her growing a little bit, at her last appt. she was 90 percentile in height and weight. Just this week she's fitting into some of her 12M and lots of her 18M clothes. With a new 18M wardrobe from Christmas she's styling :-) She's looking (and acting) like a toddler. Where did my little baby go? She's just so much fun and so sweet.
She also went to her first Illini game last night. That may be a post in itself, but I will say she absolutely loved it. 16,000 people might overwhelm most 10 month olds, but not this child. She likes an audience!
And again, I repeat myself month after month, but we feel so blessed to have her as our daughter. She is so full of craziness and is just has such a fun personality. While she definitely has an attitude at times, most of the time she is happy, crazy, and full of sweetness!
