ten months old today

So what is she like at ten months?

She is still off the charts in development...pretty soon she will weigh as much as Aiden and she's not much shorter either.

She roles over constantly and laughs when she thinks she's gotten away from you. She doesn't like being still and she is frustrated that she can't crawl well yet (she can only go backwards). As far as crawling goes she gets up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth but then starts moving backwards.

She is very attentive and nothing gets past her. She recognizes everyone and socializes with everyone. She always returns a smile but does not like to be stared at by strangers. As a matter of fact, just recently she has grown very attached to me. I think it has something to do with me being with her 24/7 in Kauai...she just got used to it.

She prefers to feed herself and has recently decided that she has completely outgrown baby food. She is a very good eater and is patient at the table. Sometimes she is taken back by Aiden's rowdiness at the dinner table.

She plays with Aiden but then feels overwhelmed by his screaming and horseplay. She is patient with him to a point and then she lets him have it with an ear-piercing scream. If that doesn't get him away she throws herself backwards (yeah...and sometimes hurts herself).

When she is sleepy or just very content she likes to hum a tune. She also likes to clap and really likes it if you join in the clapping too. She still likes to jump in her bouncing swing and when I say, she can jump, I mean she can JUMP.

As far as potty goes she's already started using one. I just have to watch for her cues and immediately put her on the potty and she happily produces. What an overachiever!

Its nice when little Sky gives you a hug. She is a very hug-able cuddly little girl. She never gets tired of being hugged and kissed.
