You turned 10 months on September 1st. So what have you been up to? The better question might be, what have you not been up to? You are SO full of energy and constantly entertain those around you. You're a very happy and very active baby. I think months 9 & 10 have been my favorite so far, but I'll probably say that with lots of ages.
You crawl really fast now and try to get into everything. Papa is anxious for you to walk, but so far you only take steps holding onto furniture or our hands. If I turn my back on you you're playing with outlets, eating the remote control, playing with my cell phone, pulling books off the books shelves, or un-potting our plants. You love that you can stand up and spend a lot of your day standing and holding onto furniture. Your favorite place to stand is at the front door. You like to look outside and watch the leaves/people/cars/dogs/flag. You know how to wave goodbye when people leave our house and you love having visitors.
You never sit still unless you're really tired after your morning bottle. During that time you'll rest your head on my shoulder sometimes and it's the sweetest thing in the world. This usually only lasts about 10 seconds, but every once in a while you'll give me a good few minutes of cuddles. You've gotten better about sitting still to read books and now we can usually get through one or two books before naptime or bedtime before you squirm away. You're favorites are "Brown Bear, Brown Bear", "Little Penguin", "The Wheels on the Bus", and "Time for Bed". You usually go to sleep at 6:45 or 7pm, after your bath, and sleep through the night until sometime between 5:15 and 6am. You're an early bird, but so are we, so that's ok. You also take a morning nap two hours after you wake up and then (usually) an afternoon nap.
You LOVE to eat. I hope you'll always be a foodie. You want to feed yourself everything, but I can hardly stand the mess so I try to still feed you really messy foods and let you give yourself less messy things. It's hard to say what you're favorite food is since you eat everything. The only food you don't like is hamburger - you spit it out twice when we tried it. Secretly this made me happy. :) You beg for food is somebody is eating and you're not. Also, whenever Papa or I go into the kitchen for any reason you quickly crawl in after us and whine/pull on our legs until we pick you up to show you what we're doing and/or give you food. It's a good thing our kitchen is small, because with you constantly hanging onto my legs, it's tough to move around.
You're very vocal and very friendly. Strangers don't bother you at all and in fact you seem to love the extra attention. You growl a lot, yell, babble, and laugh. You also know how to clap. We're working on "touchdown" and "high five". Somedays you get it and somedays you don't. If we put you on the ground near another baby you always crawl towards them to say hello.
