Blake - 10 Months



Ten months has come and gone.  Blake hit the double digit mark over a week ago, and finding the time to write this let alone get anything done with our busy girl is nearly impossible.  She cries whenever I leave the room! I love that she loves her momma but a girl could use a solo bathroom break every now and then.

She found her legs before her teeth, she took her first steps about a week or so before she hit the ten month mark.  And here we are over a week later and she still has no teeth.  Her teeth are so close, they are sitting right under her gums.  Her legs are a bit wobbly still.  She will take steps but she falls and then goes back to crawling.  She will have it mastered in no time as she gets braver every day, and when she does I think she will be running not walking.

Regardless of teeth or not, she is eating like a champ.  She has tried everything and for the most part has whatever we have for meals, and she seems to like everything.  She definitely likes solids more than baby food. It also seems to be helping to keep her a little bit more full. Whether it is her eating more or just being a little more mobile she has been sleeping better through the night as well.

She's growing like a weed, her little legs are getting long and she has started losing some of her baby fat already.  She is going to be long and skinny just like her brother!  I'm not sure what she weighs or how tall she is.

The funnest thing this month has certainly been the discovery of her voice and laughter. FINALLY!  Beau and Mark chase her around the house and she cracks up.  It is the best sound! She has started saying momma more consistently, along with a lot of baby talk, and uh-oh.  She also claps now and plays peek a boo.  Her personality is starting really starting to show and while she has been a lot of fun I think we are in a lot of trouble!! She is a girl through and through and already throws temper tantrums.

I hope the next month brings teeth, steady walking, and more still more sleep at night.  Until then...
