10 Month Update

Addison turned 10 months on Saturday...WOW!  I know I say it every month but I think the months are going by faster.  I'm going to have to try again on the 10 month photo shoot...someone wasn't being very cooperative.  Below is the best and the last picture I was able to snap.

Developments this month:

• She is nursing 4 times a day and eating 3 meals with a solid snack.  Meals have moved from baby food to mostly food she can feed herself because she doesn't want my help.  New favorites are spaghetti, mac and cheese, cantaloupe and cucumbers.  If we put food on the end of a spoon or fork she can get it into her mouth...most of the time.
• She is sleeping after her last feeding which is between 9 and 9:30 until we wake her up at 7:30 in the morning.  She went through a bad streak of waking up once a night for some snuggles but as of late she seems to be doing better.  And she is still taking 2 good naps ranging from 1 to 1.5 hours each.
• She is wearing 9 month and 12 month clothing and a size 3 diaper.
• She is a full time walker these days...baby gates have gone up and we continue to baby-proof the house as she helps us identify things she can reach/get into that she shouldn't. :)
• She went on her second big road trip to MI and was able to experience a lot of 'firsts' with cousin Claire -- the zoo, Lake Michigan, the park and swings.
• She can shake her head "NO" and understands what it means when we say it...and sometime she obeys.
• She is waving bye-bye.
• She still loves the water...the pool, the water table, Beaver Lake and even the Splash Park.  We've signed her up for the next session of swim lessons again.
• She has two teeth now -- both on the bottom.  She got one while we were in Michigan on July 18th (I noticed it while we were at the zoo) and she got one this past Wednesday, August 8th.

Now, I have to start planning her first birthday party!
