Happy 10 Month Birthday!

Dear Nora,

Today, you are 10 months old! You had fun this morning at a Chick-fil-A birthday party for one of Luke's friends, Peyton. Everyone thought you were a doll, and I agree!

At 10 months,

you are pulling up to stand. You did this in Luke's crib yesterday morning for the first time. I put you in there with him when I go in to get him up and you two play for a few minutes. When I was getting him dressed I was surprised to look over and see you standing up!

you are on the move, crawling all over the place. I have to keep telling Luke that if he doesn't want you playing with something, he needs to move it to his table or our bed, because otherwise, you can reach it.

you are eating more finger foods. A couple days ago you had your first bean and cheese burrito. You liked it and I'm sure there are many more burritos in your future. Cutting it up into a grid brought back such a keen memory of doing that for Luke.

you are making more sounds: dah, nah, gah, and yesterday I heard mah!

you have a top tooth about to come through the gums and I think you have been working on some 1st year molars this week.

you hate your baths now and actually start crying when you hear the water running and realize it's for you. I'm not sure what changed, but it's pretty sad!

you've been sitting up in shopping carts and high chairs and like your view of the world from there.

you like listening to Daddy play guitar and bop around to music. Luke says, "she's dancing!"

you have had your first dentist appointment. I was worried you might have tooth decay because of spots on your two little teeth. Thank the Lord it's just some staining from food you've been eating and the dentist is not concerned. Whew!

you are consistently pulling your headbands and bows off your head. :( I just keep putting them back on, but it's beginning to feel like a bit of a futile endeavor.

I love you, Nora!

Love,
Mommy
