Grace: 10-months

Double digits!!! WOW! I feel like this last month she has gone through a huge growth spurt both developmentally and physically. She is crawling FAST, pulling herself up and walking around everything, she's even climbing up the stairs completely unassisted. She is taking less and less spills and you can see noticeable improvement in her skills every day. She is even standing by herself. It's so funny -she'll take her hands off whatever they are on and just pause for as long as she can and then catch herself before she falls. I'm sure she'll be walking by her first birthday!

She still only has her two bottom teeth so she is just drinking a ton of breast milk with a bit of oatmeal cereal and some pureed food around 9:30am and 6pm. I feel like she's finally starting to get hungry for more than just milk and it's been fun giving her food...she hasn't met something she has disliked yet!

A few weeks ago she started sleeping through the night! All the way from 8pm to 7/7:30am! She takes two naps a day -one around 9:30am and one around 2:30pm. They are both pretty good. The morning nap is unpredictable because most of the time she's in her car seat so that we can get Caiden out of the house to burn off some energy (otherwise he does things like throw balls in the house and crack our television...yep, that's right. He threw this tiny little hard plastic ball and it cracked our tv and destroyed it. He sat in time out for 45 minutes for that one).

Anyway, back to Grace. Her afternoon nap is usually an hour or two and is always in her bed because Caiden naps during that time too and Mama don't want to miss out on her alone time!

Her personality is coming out more and more every day. She is such a pistol when you take something from her that she is not supposed to have. She will yell at you to let you know she's not happy. She puts EVERYTHING in her mouth. She finds the tiniest turd of something on the ground and she's putting it in her mouth -and she HATES when you try to take it out. She clamps her mouth shut and then when you finally get your finger in to scoop it out she screams at you. She's our little sassy pants!

Look 'ma...no hands!!!
