Ten Months Old

My doodle dee is ten months old (okay, this is late and she is almost eleven months old) and had her checkup and flu shot last week. She didn't even cry when she got her shot. Crazy! Just a grunt and a whimper.

She loves to play with any toy Amelia is playing with. Loves following her and being around her and wants Amelia's sippy cup, snack, etc.

Her favorite toy is any baby to hug and kiss or something with buttons that you can push.

She won't really sit still for many books to be read to her and honestly has never shown an interest in books much at all. We are still trying :)

Her eating habits are great, especially if it is "big girl" food. She loves breads of any kind, black beans, crackers, cheese, bananas, chicken, yogurt, and any Gerber snacks. She won't eat green veggies, but eats almost all of her fruit baby foods. Still only two bottom teeth.

Sleeping is usually an atrocious nightmare. I don't even know what to type. Praying for some big turnaround soon!

She stands without holding on to anything and squats down and can stand back up! So big. She walks all around holding on to furniture or push toys and is so proud of herself. During Meme's birthday party she took four steps. We might have a walking baby soon.

As far as talking, she says mama and dada but not always discriminately. She seems to say thank you, dog, cat, moo, duck, and hi.


Elise, I am so thankful that you are a part of our family. It is hard to remember how my heart felt before you came into this world. Loving you is a natural part of every minute. Your big smile continues to be my very favorite thing. But, I'm pretty crazy about all of you :)
