10 months

Our sweet girl is 10 months old!

At 10 months, Shelby:

• wears size 9 month and some 12 month clothes
• wears size 3 diapers
• has 4 teeth. These bad boys are so mean. She also started chewing on the crib and I am ordering some rail protectors to keep her from destroying her bed.
• crawls, pulls up, and can walk around while holding on to a steady surface. She also likes to walk while holding our hands.
• like to crawl under things. If there is a space to crawl under, she goes for it! She loves being under the kitchen table and chairs.
• can click her tongue
• is FAST! The girl can sprint crawl! She is especially fast when she seems something she wants. She will tuck her head down and go, go, go!
• is developing a little bit of separation anxiety. She will cry when I put her down or when I hand her to daddy and walk out of the room. However, she doesn't seem to mind going to the nursery or having a babysitter. I think she is just upset when she knows I'm home and available.
• loves to eat and hasn't turned down anything I've offered her!
• loves to play tug-of-war with Gumbo. I have to say, Gumbo is so good with her. We play rough with him and I was worried he would be too rough with her, but he has been so gentle. When she picks up his toy, he slowly grabs the free part and pulls just enough to make her laugh. It is so funny to watch! She will also throw his toy for him!
• is super ticklish!
• can growl like a lion. She doesn't know that a lion makes that noise but she mimics the sound we make.
• can be VERY loud.
• is busy, busy, busy. She is constantly moving and playing. She is so much fun to play with! She will climb all over me and roll around and giggle. I'm so thankful that I've been able to stay home with her during this time. She is such a blessing and we can't imagine our lives without her.
