10 Months!

Teresa Rose, you are one crazy little gal.
At just ten months old you are on the move & always looking for a giggle. You like to chat but it's still mostly dada, mama, & baba. Lately you've been approximating no, yes, please, & Jesus. I'm guessing you'll have them by next week. You like to click your tongue & smack your lips. You love to eat table food... baby food is for wimps. With that 8 tooth grin you can handle most things. Once you even snuck a jalapeƱo off of Daddy's nachos! We didn't let you finish it, though. I've been trying to teach you the sign for "all done" but you already have your own: you just begin plastering your hair with whatever is left on your tray. You walk all over & refuse to hold anyone's hand for help. You're still a little wobbly in shoes, but when you are barefoot you practically run! Thank goodness you are still a fan of your stroller when we are out & about. A new thrill is chasing Rebecca around the house for a game of hide & seek. It's adorable! You love animals, both real & pretend. Today you were panting like Rebecca's puppy & squealing every time you saw it. Other hobbies include emptying bookshelves, unrolling toilet paper, climbing stairs, putting away Tinkertoys, "dootzing", playing in your jumperoo, throwing shoes in the hamper, singing Wheels On The Bus, & sneaking the phone off of it's charger.

You'd think with all of that activity that you'd sleep like a rock! Well, occasionally. You usually take a 40 minute morning nap, hour & a half afternoon nap, & wake up at least once at night. Daddy can sometimes rock you back to sleep but you definitely prefer to nurse. I'm trying to get you to take a sippy cup more often. You usually suck the water out & then spit it down your front. Great fun but not really positive fluid intake. You'll get it soon enough, I guess.
We love you bunches!
