10 months old!

Abby turned ten months old today! Starting her day off with surgery was probably not what she had in mind but it all went well. - More details to come.

(This is mostly for my own record it is probably boring to read)

Things she likes at 10 months...

Her Daddy! She is a daddy's girl!
FOOD: Cinnamon and Maple Little Crunches are her favorite, Soy formula (which we just started giving her every once in a while), meats (ham, chicken, sausage, hamburger), scrambled eggs, Green beans and her favorite are frozen peas (warmed). I can put a huge pile of peas on her tray and she will eat every one of them. She still loves Mexican food (rice and beans) baby food and puffs. When she sees a container of baby food she get so excited and starts freaking out if you don't open it and feed it to her fast enough. She loves the taste of Generic Tylenol, and her Tri-Vi-Sol vitamins.

FOOD SHE DOESN'T LIKE: baby food Peas, and baby food Mixed Vegetable, Vanilla Soy Milk- Hopefully she learns to like something. I can nurse her and feed her formula forever. I think we will try rice milk next. If we give her something she doesn't want to eat she will throw it off the side of her high chair.

SLEEPING: She loves to sleep on her tummy and her right side. She rolls all over in the night. She still likes to be swaddled in her favorite purple blankie. She usually goes to bed between 7 and 8 and will sometimes wake up around 11 for a little nursing time with mommy and then sleeps until 8 or 9. A few times she has slept until 10-10:30. That was really nice! We lowered her crib mattress thinking that she would stand up and fall out, but she still has not stood up in her crib. She doesn't really care about her mobile now, I think it is because she can't kick it on any more. She still usually takes two naps a day one around 11-12 and another between 3-4. They are usually around an hour but sometimes a little shorter or a little longer.

PLAYING: She loves books! She just likes to sit and flip through the pages and talk. It's like she is reading it to me. Every time we change her diaper we give her a book to read to keep her occupied to she doesn't roll around. She also loves her snoopy dog that is always in her car seat. Lately we have had balloons around the house and she loves the balloons. Like most kids she loves looking at the baby in the mirror. Grandma has a floor to ceiling mirror and Abby likes to look at herself and try and touch that other baby. The other day she licked the mirror. It was pretty funny. My mom has these decorative balls that are made out of seeds and every time we go to Grandma Jo's we have to stand at the coffee table and play will the balls.

She is starting to understand what things are now. When we ask her where the balloon is she looks right at it. She waves bye, bye when you are leaving and you say it to her. She knows Mommy and Daddy and I think both Grandmas and Grandpas. I sware she is trying to say some words like dog. Her sounds more like dau, but every time we put her in her car seat we hand her her snoppy dog and say dog and she repeats dau. She loves music! She has started dancing when music is on - just a cute little bounce. She has a cookie jar toy that sings some cheesy little song and she loved to make it sing over and over again.
She is quite the little crawler now and she really likes to stand. She loves to pull her self up to drawers and pull out what is inside. She also loves to help me with the laundry. This involves pulling the clothes out of the laundry basket. She still loved bath time. She could play in the tub for hours. She loved to crawl around and play will toys, but hates to be laying down in the water. Once last thing she really likes going for walks in her stroller and being outside. It is so much fun to see her develop and grow everyday, but she is grown to fast before I know it she will be my little girl and not my baby!
