10 months!

Dear Zoe,

You are 10 months old! Here is what we want to remember about you:
-Still sleeping like a champ...unless you're waking up at 1:30, 3:00, and 4:30 due to teething, that is!

-Some days at dinner time you resemble the Very Hungry Caterpillar...you just eat, and eat, and eat...unless you have that perpetual stomach bug that keeps looping around your class.  You eat lots of finger food and mashed food and barely any baby food at all.  Your favorites are cantaloupe, Cheerios, bananas, and cheese.

-You are saying new combinations of sounds every day.  An interesting one is when it sounds like you are saying "didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't."  You say this when you are mad and when you are happy, but there is a definite difference in your intonation when you're feeling one way over the other.  We think you must be practicing for one day when you need to say "I DIDN'T do it!"

-Right now we are trying to teach you "bye, bye" but you show no signs that this means anything of significance yet. However, you have started to feed us when we open our mouths like a baby bird while you're sitting in your high chair.  Very sweet!

-You now have full command of the house as you are a proficient crawler at this point.  You stick your right foot out in front of you and push off the floor to move the rest of your body.  Kind of reminds of of Lurch, from The Adam's Family.

-There's not much point to 12 month clothes...we're going to move on to 18 months.  Maybe those will fit you for more than a week.

-Sometimes you think it's fun to give Mommy a raspberry on her leg or to attack Daddy's face with all of your gums and drool.  You KNOW you are being funny.

-Every day gets more fun with you around...keep it up!
