10 months old

My sweet baby girl is 10 months old! She is more curious and fiesty than ever. Her major milestones for the month have been dancing and pointing. She dances to everything from music to tapping hands or feet. (She is bouncing right now to the tapping of the keyboard. :) )The girl's got soul! She began pointing to communicate her needs. What a blessing! She knows what she wants and it is great for us to now know, as well. She also waves, high fives, claps and does a few baby signs to help us understand her needs.

She has learned how to SCALE the steps. She just learned how to shake her head no. (Which she does to my husband when he asks for a kiss. He has a new beard which she hates and refuses to love on Daddy now, breaking his heart!) She can climb out of her high chair (and its buckle) and her bath seat. She has developed a more hearty appetite, willing and able to eat anything. She has tried and loved such foods as black olives, artichokes and feta cheese. Thank the Lord for what appears to be a good eater!

We are so grateful for her health and bright mind. What a gift to our family! The boys are more in love with her than ever.

Thank you so much for your advice and listening ear the other day. I so needed to be affirmed that I had made a legitimate decision, even though it felt terrible at the time. I so appreciate our friendship and the like-minded approach to life. And the creative input you always supply!

Love,
Maryanne
