Ten

Sweet Baby Girl is ten months. 

All of a sudden she seems so grown up.

She still speed crawls everywhere and steals toys from her brother all day long.

She can now crawl up AND down the step from our kitchen to our living room.

And can stand for a bit on her own.

 She has some sweet dance moves.  She is quite the party animal.

There has been more than one occasion where we look away and within seconds realize she is half way up the entire flight of stairs.

She knows how to wave bye bye.

And if you give her a phone and say hello she knows how to pretend to answer it.

She has three words.  Mama, dada and baba (bottle).

Smart Cookie.

She never keeps her socks on.

And when she finds her stray socks laying around the house, she tries to put them on her own feet.

She LOVES real food and has started to scoff at baby food. She is a super clean eater.

She still drinks her 6 oz bottle every 3 to 4 hours.

She will take a short nap in the morning and in the afternoon but there is really no schedule to it.

But at night she is SO ready for bed by the time 7pm rolls around and she sleeps until 7 or so in the morning.

Tatum, at ten months old you are a riot.

You make us laugh all day long and we cannot possibly keep up with you.

At this age I avoid taking you shopping at all costs as you just don't enjoy it all. I think there is still hope that you will grow up to be my little shopping buddy. 

We often find you playing in the downward dog position and your energy is refreshing!

I really would not be surprised at all if you grow up to be a gymnast

OR a club owner...you really are the life of any party. 

We love you so much pumpkin noodle. 

Your lovable spunk is such a treasure!
