10 Month Update

Last week our rapidly growing littlest princess turned double digits! AHHHHH!!!!  I really do not like how fast they grow up, but I have been so blessed to get to see it happen each and every day :)

Here are some fun facts about Calliope around the 10 month mark:

* She weights an estimated 20 lbs
* She is about 30 in. tall
* SHE IS WALKING!!!  She has been doing this for about 2 weeks now, and getting faster by the day
* As of today I see that she is FINALLY cutting her two bottom teeth! WOO HOO!
* She is a really really busy girl.  She loves to explore all over, and as with most babies, loves to put everything in her mouth.  This makes for a very tense mom some days!
* She is still a tough cookie to get to laugh that intense belly laugh.  She has such a serious demeanor, its pretty funny.  However, we do get her to cackle alot, and her favorite person to laugh at is her big sister Peyton :) P definitely gets the most laughs out of her.
* She loves to try new foods, and I am thinking that she will be able to make the transition to whole milk just fine.  I have been introducing foods with some milk in it, and she seems to be doing great with it.
* We are weaning her off of her Prevacid for reflux.  She is currently on half of the dosage per day. 
* She really likes to watch the MickeyMouse Clubhouse, and we do the hot dog dance each day :)
* She LOVES to imitate what others do...  she claps, waves, says bye bye, and is trying to say many other words.  I read to her each day, and she loves this too. She of course has momma, dada, nana, and papa in her regular vocab...
*She is drinking 4 bottles a day, anywhere from 4-8 oz.  Just depends on what kind of mood she is in. She eats stage 3 baby food 3 times a day, and also has her snacks. Which she LOVES! She never shys away from food, go figure! Just recently she tried watermelon, and she LOVE LOVE LOVES it. Just have to be careful to not give her too much.
* She wakes up at 6ish, and goes to sleep by 7ish. We try and get 4 naps in, because she never really rests for more than 45-60 minutes. But it works for her and I.

Now, enough of words, here are a few pics of her snapped on her 10 month birthday:

Cuddling with her new bear she got from the KC Zoo on Memorial day

Such a little poser!

This is one of her new "smiles"... she gives me new little faces each day...

This is the latest, the nose scrunch.  She does is ALL the time, and it is PRECIOUS!

I just last night discovered that she learned it from Drew!  I caught him making the face at her...

Could just kiss this face all day, everyday

This face shows just how rotten she is. My keyboard also agrees.  She has ripped off the caps lock key...

She looks like the is up to no good in this picture!
