10 Months Old

10 Months Old! 
Grace is looking more and more like a little girl
 and less and less like my baby. 
-sigh- 
Where has the time gone!?

GRACE at 10 months:

~Hasn't started talking yet, but sure does like to babble and she is LOUD!  She's very expressive and I can't wait until she can really say what's on her mind. 

~Loves to walk around the house holding onto our fingers.  Her top half tends to get too far forward, so I don't think she's that close to walking yet.

~Has stopped sleeping well.  Gah.  She got all turned around again and has been waking up for several hours in the middle of the night wanting to play.  And going in to put her back down just makes her MAD.  So we've been going through the torture of letting her cry herself back to sleep.  But I'm hoping it was all caused by...

~Her new tooth!  After months of teething, we finally have something to show for it!  Her top left tooth finally popped through and the right one seems like it might be coming in soon, too. 
Yay for new teeth!

~She has figured out how to show when she wants to be picked up or be held by someone else.  I must say I feel pretty special when she chooses to come to her momma.  ;0)

~Has discovered the joy that is the bottom shelf of the pantry.  After an afternoon spent cleaning up spilled noodles and then spilled oats, I think I have it fairly well baby proofed, but everyday her reach gets just a little longer...  Pretty soon nothing will be safe!

~We've started stage 3 foods, but our little stinker has figured out how to eat the sauce while spitting out the chunks.  But she loves to eat her finger food!  So far bananas and avocados have been big hits.  Peaches and Sweet Potatoes are next on our list.

We find ourselves in awe of how much joy she brings to our life. 
What a precious little girl we love!
