10 months old

I'm 10 months old now. I'm about 30 inches long and around 21 lbs. Momma said I'm a busy body because I like to crawl and explore everything around me. I also like to stand up and walk around holding on to whatever I can get my hands on. I'll even stand on my tip-toes to get something out of reach. I started "climbing" and that means I can reach even more things. I like to reach and stretch to get cell phones and remotes, though Momma and Daddy don't usually leave them where I can get them.

I still like to sleep. I sleep mostly on my stomach with my hands over my head. I pull my knees up under me and have my butt up in the air. Momma said she thinks I look "silly" but if I'm "comfortable", that is fine with her. I sleep about 12 hours a night and take a couple 1 1/2 hour naps during the day.

When I'm awake, other than getting into anything I can reach, I like to eat. I've been eating puffs for a snack in the morning and the afternoon. New foods I've tried are Pineapple, Corn, Cantaloupe, Cauliflower, and lots of new spices like ginger, rosemary, and cumin. I have 4 teeth which help me eat lots of yummy food.

When we go places, I like to smile and laugh a lot but I like it most if Momma or Daddy don't leave me, especially if I'm a little sleepy. I say "da-da" a lot and "ma-ma" sometimes. I say "ma-ma" mostly when I'm upset and need some attention.

My favorite thing is bath time with Daddy. He lets me splash in the water and dumps water over my head. I also like it when Daddy hums rock-a-bye to me while we are getting ready for bed. I like when Momma lays on the floor and plays with me and when we snuggle before I go to sleep for my naps. Momma says everyday that I look bigger than the day before and while she seems a little sad, Momma and Daddy both said they are really happy I'm growing up big and strong.
