Well, we're in the double digits! Mady is ten months old now. I will go back and look at her pictures when she was born and when she was just a month or two old and I miss those days when she was so tiny but I do have to say that I am so enjoying her at this age. She is so much fun and learning so much everyday.
Right now, she does not stop for one second. When she is up, she is on the move the entire time. She goes from one toy to the next. So much to do, so much to see, and so little time! She can high-five, and when you ask her how big she is she will raise her arms high up in the air. She has become a lot more interested in her books lately too. She has a few favorites and will sit and listen to you read them and she'll turn the pages for you. One of the books she likes says "Reach for the sky" and she will raise her arms up. Then it says "Now reach for your toes" and she will put her arms down and touch her toes. It is so cute! She's had a few times now that she's stood on her own. It's just for a few seconds but it's becoming more frequent. She'll be standing up against her activity table, or the coffee table, and then let go to use her arms and she stands there on her own for a little while. She's getting a lot better at walking with her dino walker too. Only on the carpet though, because it still rolls away from her on the tile and wood flooring.
She is still a great eater but she is not eating her purees as much as she use to. She would much rather have her finger foods so I think we'll be moving to just table foods soon. Her favorite food is strawberries. She gets so excited when you put them on her tray. If we have strawberries on her tray with other foods she will pick the strawberries first to eat and they will be gone quick!
Her routine is still pretty much the same as its been for months. She wakes around 7-7:30 and has her morning nap around 10. Her morning nap has gotten shorter lately to where she will wake up around 11:00. Her afternoon nap is usually longer from around 2:30 to 4 or 4:30. and then down for the night around 7:45.
She is such a joy and we are enjoying every minute!
