Happy 10 Months Kate!

This month flew by! I think starting a new business kind of took over for me for a bit. I plan on taking a lot more pictures this month seeing as I only have 2 more months before my "baby" turns one!

This month Kate:

-Can roll 'em up


-is cruising so fast! She moves from one piece of furniture to another with ease & actually uses walking along things as a form of transportation

-mimics motions that we make all the time

-can drink out of a straw

-LOVES to dance. She does this to any music - my phone ringing, on TV, us singing, anything! Here she is riding in her favorite new activity - her car. She dances everytime she's in it!

-standing alone longer and longer

-eating more and more - added proteins (turkey, ham, beef), dairy (yogurt, cheese), grains (oatmeal, etc), pancakes, and waffles to her diet. No more pureed foods at all!

-waving: and it quickly changed from the full arm up and down "baby" wave to the adorable toddler scrunching of the hand wave. (thanks to Aunt Kristin)

-seriously...will this kid ever get more teeth? Just two.

-still not complaining about the same sleeping patterns (1st nap was 2 1/2 hours today!!!). She wakes up so happy too! I took this video so you could enjoy her little talking. Everytime she wakes up she usually just sits/stands and talks to herself for awhile. She looks at me like I'm crazy if I come in before letting her have her "wake-up" time.

-gives "hugs" - she leans her head onto your shoulder. So cute!

-hands things to you when she's done with it or knows she shouldn't have it.

-loves to push things around the house while crawling

-plays "peek-a-boo" around whoever is holding her looking for the person behind. FAVORITE game!

-actually started drinking out of her sippy cup alone (instead of just playing with it or needing help)

Love all the videos. Do you take them with your video camera or on your phone?

I take them with my camera - the one that is the same size as yours. Doesn't yours take little videos? They're so much easier to upload than the ones on the real video camera.

I LOVE the dancing video!! That is some of the cutest baby dancing I've ever seen!! We need Kate's Aunt Kristin to come over and teach the toddler wave. :)

I think I heard Jeopardy playing in the background on that last one...brushing up on your trivia skills these days? :)

Don't forget this month she's learned to play "where's Kate" with aunt Jennie too! So cute!

She is so grown up! What a fun age. And look at all that hair! Precious Kate!
