10 months old

This post is a few days late because Taylor was miserable from her ear infection on the day she turned ten months old, and wasn't in the picture taking mood.

Taylor, at ten months, I asked your daddy what I should write down about you at this age, and the first word he said was, "playful". I would have to agree!!

At 10 months, here are a few things we want to remember about you at this age!

** You weigh 18 pounds, 10 ounces (slightly below 50th percentile) and are 28 inches long (50th)

** Wearing size 3 diapers and 12-18 month clothing

** You go to bed around 7:15-7:30, and wake up for the morning around 7:00. You still sometimes get up once during the night, but are not hard to get back to sleep (unless you are sick! We spent a lot of time rocking and walking together during the first two nights of your ear infection)

** You had your first ear infection

** You have half of one tooth on the bottom!

** You love, love, love to eat puffs and fruit

** Laughing, pulling up to your feet, climbing, crawling, clapping, smiling, hugs and kisses are things we get to enjoy every day with you

** Rides in the car can sometimes still be a little sad for you, but it is getting easier

** You got to meet Santa for the first time, and were very curious, but there were no tears :-)

** You love watching other kids play

** Two comments we frequently hear about you, "she has such big, beautiful, blue eyes" and "what a cute little nose" :-)

** Changing your diaper has become a challenge as you want to roll, roll, roll all the time

** You will sometimes "dance" - bobbing your head and body to the music

** We frequently catch you sitting on your knees

** You will flip through your books - usually turning the pages the right direction, which makes the teacher in me so proud! :-) You will have those concepts of print nailed down by the time you get to kindergarten... :-)

** When I am holding you and someone starts talking to you, you will sometimes turn and bury your face into my neck as if you are shy... silly girl

** You are very good at pulling up to your feet, and one of my favorite things is when I am washing dishes, you will crawl right up to me and pull up and stand between my legs - love that!

** You will sit and listen to as many as five or six books at a time, helping to turn the pages, and you know exactly where to touch in the touch and feel books...


...there are so many fun things about you right now! Christmas is going to be such a joy and I can't wait to see what new tricks you learn in the next month!

Pictures!!

 Eating puffs


Trying to capture you dancing

Playing with the ornaments from the tree

Drinking from your sippy cup (getting much better at this, which is good for when we start weaning you from bottles!)


Eating breakfast one morning...so sleepy! :-) 



We love you so much!
