10 months!

We hit Grayson's 10 month milestone while we were vacationing in Florida, so I spent the one overcast morning, taking her pictures.   There was a wagon at the house we were renting, so I strapped her in and took her for her first wagon ride --- she loved it.  She is changing so much every day.  I can't believe that we are closing in on her one year birthday -- what a milestone!!     We went to the doctor for her 9 month check up a few weeks ago (we were behind schedule) and she had great stats.  Her doctor commented on how miraculous it is that she has only been sick once (double ear infection) in her first year...especially since she attends daycare!   Here were her numbers at 9 1/2 months (she is not a small baby!):

  • Weight- 20lbs 9 ozs (90th percentile)
  • Height - 29 inches (95th percentile)
  • Head - 17.5 inches (75th percentile)
Here are some other month 10 highlights:
  • She's up to 8 teeth and finally figuring out how to use them.   She has eaten sliced turkey, velveeta cheese, squash, peaches, and eggs among other small finger foods.  She LOVES cheerios and puffs.
  • She pulls up and can cruise along holding onto the furniture or any of her push toys.
  • She can stand on her own for a few seconds at a time...getting better and better each day.
  • Still a CHAMPION sleeper.  Takes two solid naps a day (2 hours each) and sleeps for about 11 hours at night.
  • Loves school -- is always very happy when we drop her off and pick her up.   
  • She has found her voice.  She now babbles constantly in what sounds like to us full baby babble sentences!   Her teacher at school calls it "Grayson's japanese language"
  • She loves to explore cabinets -- we have put locks on the dangerous ones, but i am constantly putting my plastic bowls and tupperware back in!
