*She is so close to walking! She frequently gets in a standing position and lets go to balance - then either sits down slowly or leans onto the nearest thing. I believe in 2-3 more weeks she'll be taking steps.
*She is pretty much in a size 12 outfit, although she still has a pair of 3-6 month shorts that fit her and a few 18 month outfits that fit too... sizing is SO random!
*She doesn't ever wear shoes so I can't tell you what size she wears.
*She will "volley" a conversation if you repeat something similar to what she said.
*No real words other than "mama" and "dada" - and even those are hit and miss on using them in the right context. Although, I most often hear "mama" when she's callign for me from her crib in the night.
*She understands her name (will look when called). She seems to understand "no"...at least she stops momentarily and looks at us.
*We're trying to sign "more" and "eat" and "stop" and "all done" with her, but we're so inconsistent that she hasn't picked up any of them yet. It's hard with her being at daycare 5/7 days a week...
*She goes down to sleep at night wonderfully! Either nurses or dozes playing with her animals.
*Still up typically 3 times a night (and nurses back down). 10ish - 1-2ish - 4-5ish ... oh well. I love the snuggle time with her :)
*She is back to napping in her baby bouncy chair most of the time at daycare... I think being away for 2 different weeks in July really threw off her routine there.
***Mental note*** Try to get a picture of her asleep in it!
*Her favorite pasttime in the living room is to open the arm of the lazyboy chair where the remotes are stored and empty that out.
*She eats nearly everything. At this point, I couldn't even try to list the things she does eat! She does not like the consistency of cottae cheese. If I mash it, she'll tolerate it. She ate black beans with cheddar cheese for lunch today - she also enjoyed sharing my portobello mushroom sandwich the other day... she's been known to munch on onions and zuchinni too - so not just your normal "baby" foods... she's eating whatever we're eating :)
*Fruits are still her go-to will-always-eat food though!
*Still in medium fuzzibunz ...that's 7 months in the same size :) Growing out of the medium bumgenius though ...not sure if we'll get larges of those or not.
*At daycare, Suzie and Jenna get the biggest smiles these days. Her best kid buddy is currently Leah. We'll be sad when Leah goes to kdg in another month :(
*She loves chasing the cats. Toby is really good with her - she can grab fist fulls of hair and he'll tolerate a bit of that before he makes his exit. Usually Miranda sees her coming and makes her get away to the top of the couch.
*Laura loves being chased. She's a really fast crawler and she loves it when someone is crawling behind her to "get" her.
*She giggles the best giggles - full belly laughter :)
*She has 2 teeth. The second one (bottom right) came in a couple days before turning 10 months old. (There was no warning this one was on it's way!) Let's hope a few more come in that way! Look --- Finally got a picture!
(yes, this was taken on the day she was 10 months old)*Her favorite sleep position is on her belly with her butt in the air.
*She rarely takes a pacifier anymore.
*She has no interest in sippy cups. Would much rather take the bottle for pumped milk. If anyone has a waterbottle though - watch out - she wants her share too.
***Mental note*** Try her with a regular cup.
*She'd rather feed herself things than be fed off a spoon.
*She is great about her baths now - lets me pour the water right over her head and as long as I run my hand over her face afterwards to clear her face off she's fine. She even tips her head back a bit when she hears me count "1-2-3".
*She is taking anywhere between 8-12 ounces of milk at daycare plus a full lunch of solids.
*Size 4 huggies overnight. ...and I think she could fit in a 5... hope we can make it through with 4's for a few more months though. I have a case and a half left! (Thank you to the mom at daycare that cleaned them out of the closet and stocked me up!)
*A play session in the morning or evening typically goes like this: Play with toy - crawl to mommy and lay head in her lap for a short while - play with toy - crawl to mommy and lay head in her lap for a short while - play with toy (get the idea?) It's so cute - like little hugs.
*Hair is long and wispy on top and finally covered in all those bare bald spots :)
*bedtime is 7-7:30 if we're home.
*Naps are typically an am "cat" nap (like 20-30 minutes) and then a longer afternoon nap - OR a solid late morning to early afternoon nap.
*She has bitten me twice. Once was tonight actually and I said no and took her off. She looked at me and started bawling! I gave her a hug, rocked her for like 30 seconds and then let her eat. Didn't do it again.
I think that pretty much wraps up the details of my busy 10 month olds life.
Yes - I am aware that I am way behind on pictures. I am sorry for that :(

have you thought about buying those tupperware "sippy cups"? they aren't spill proof, but I think I am going to get some because they are such a good transitional cup for at meals, plus the milk/water will just flow out of it, so it is a different feeling than sucking on something...
She's getting so big! Both my kiddos sleep on their bellies with their bums in the air, it's totally cute :) Oh, and have you tried the sippy cups with a straw? Grace had a really hard time figuring out how to tip a cup back at first and the straw cups avoid that problem.
Yep, we've tried the sippy with a straw. She used to sip on it, but now just puts it in her mouth and doesn't do anyting to it.
