10 months old!

Caleigh Grace was 10 months old last Friday!  I can't believe that it has been 10 months already.  She seems so much like a little girl to us and so much less like a baby.  Overall one word I would use to describe the past 2 months is busy!  Caleigh is into everything and she is so fun!

At 10 months Caleigh is:

-taking 2 naps a day, at 9 and 1 and each one lasts about 2 hours and then asleep for the night from 6:30 or 7 pm - 7:30 am

-all done with baby food - we are creatively trying to use the rest of the baby food that I made since she won't take anything from a spoon from us

-Caleigh is now eating pretty much everything that we eat and loving it - mealtimes are a mess!

-still taking 4 bottles a day - Caleigh will take water and juice from a sippy but not formula - the transition may be a little tricky

-saying 'dada' and 'all done'... when she is done eating she will arch her back and say 'ahhhh duh' which we think it all done - she is also babbling all the time and it sounds like she is just talking to us - very cute

-crawling (her version of crawling with one leg more like a scoot)

-cruising everywhere

-has great balance - will stand alone for several seconds

-will walk when she holds our hands but she is not a big risk-taker so she probably won't take her first steps for a while

-loves climbing on anything and everything - stairs, toys, chairs

-loves swinging at the park

-doesn't really clap yet or wave bye-bye... she will raise her hand to wave when we say bye-bye but that is about it; doesn't sign anything yet

-loves playing with nesting toys and taking them out of each other 1 by 1 with her pincer grasp - also likes doing this with tupperware containers and the clean silverware in the dishwasher

-loving her silky (blanket) - she would prefer her silky to comfort her more than us - one of our nicknames for her is 'silky lover'

-loves reading books

-has 6 teeth total: 4 on top on 2 on the bottom

(disclaimer about this video: we took this video so that we could remember the way she cries and then sounds like she is telling us everything that is wrong - it is only a few seconds of crying without us getting her - don't worry)

Also at 10 months Caleigh has turned into quite the joke-ster.  Here is her new favorite game - playing peekaboo with herself and laughing hysterically.  It is really really funny.  She is so speedy with it she is hardly covered up for long...

Also since I forgot to give them at 9 months here are her 9 month stats:

18 lb 5 oz (42%)

28 inches (67%)
