Rhys @ 10 months

This weekend was the Strawberry Festival in town, so she's dressed up in her berries, even though we didn't make it downtown. Natalie isn't feeling well, so we decided we better not go.

Rhys is a busy little girl at 10 months!

She loves to stand behind the doll stroller, will hold our fingers to "walk" (oh my poor back! She is just starting and it already kills my back), she is pulling herself up, and she's cruising along the couch! Getting to be quite mobile!

She is a messy, messy eater! I moved her booster off of the carpet rug...so now when she just tosses things off her tray and onto the floor it is easier to clean up! We try to time messy meals (ie banana!) for bath nights.

She is kind of over the purée foods. She gets annoyed if I try to spoon feed her. So, even though she has no teeth, she has been eating: peas, carrots, corn, banana, bread, crackers, eggs, and anything else small or mushy enough to get her fingers on. Not a huge fan of avocado still, and I'd say her favorite right now is yogurt - the one thing she will let me feed her!

She is still sleeping well, now that we are past the initial baby stage. Rhys goes to bed about 7/7:30pm and is up around 6/6:30am. She's taking two decent naps - about 1.5 - 2 hrs each.

This past week she has been really "talking"...she repeats "ma-ma" all day!

She waves bye-bye! I saw her do it one day and thought it was a fluke, but daycare got it on video last week, and now she tries when we ask!

She thinks it is funny when I sign "all done", "milk", or "more".

10 month stats:
Height: 26+ in
Weight: 18.5 lb
Diapers: Size 3
Clothes: Size 9 mo and 12 mo
Shoes: Size 2

Not a whole lot of change in size the past few months.  I looked back at Natalie's paperwork from her 9 mo Dr. appt and Natalie was 16lb 13oz and 26.5 inches, so she was a little longer and a little lighter, but not by a whole lot!
