10 Months!

Annabelle turned 10 months on Sunday!

Eating: She has four bottles a day, 6 ounces or so each. She's been having one per night as well...so much for the four night she slept for 12 hours without waking :( She eats about 2 jars of baby food a day plus some finger foods. This is a big change since 9 months when is was maybe 1 jar a day. She really wants to eat what we're eating, but it's tough when she only has two teeth. She does love to chew on non-food things still. I have to put her in the pack and play when I vacuum because she wants to chew on the cord.



Moving: She cruises like a champ. Kris and I were just talking yesterday about how amazing it is to think that a few months ago it took her a few minutes to pull up and make her way down the length of the couch. Now, it's a few seconds! She's getting sooooo close to standing and will let go for a few seconds, but just not quite there yet.

Talking: She babbles a lot, but it's sounding more and more like real words. One things she's started doing a lot is pointing to things and saying "ooh". Like this...



Playing: Some of her favorite things to do:
Look at ANYTHING new. She inspects things with great intensity and is finally at the point where it doesn't go into her mouth...at least not right away.
Go outside - something about being outdoors has an amazing calming affect on this otherwise hyper girl.
Climb. She has started to try to climb on top of her activity table...even when it's in the middle of the room...where's she going to go then?
Look at books. I still read to her before every nap and at bedtime, but she has a stash of books that she can "read" any time she wants. It's funny to listen to her babble while looking at them. She also points at the pictures on every page.
