10 Months

10 Months and you are on the GO. And on the GO means independence, happiness and getting into everything. You have gotten so fast in just a few weeks and can now explore and move from room to room. A few times I have to search to find you since you can be so quiet.


In addition to crawling, you are now standing while holding on to things. This is the one place in our house that I need to keep an eye on you at, the fireplace. You love crawling and climbing up onto the ledge and then play with all the magnets.


You are so proud to be crawling everywhere.


With movement comes mess. Between you and your brother there is usually a mess somewhere in the house. The other day you and Roman got into the rice krispies. This is how I found you.


We call you our little Ham! Look at those adorable Ham legs. I hope you aren't offended when you are older. Don't worry, we will stop that nickname when you turn 1.


You continue to love water and have recently discovered the water table. You love standing here and splashing in the water. You like watching Roman play in it and laugh when Marley drinks water out of it.

Some other highlights...
-You are very quiet. Not a lot of babbling, but you have recently said MaMa. However, your cry can be so loud and sound so sad.
-Prefer food over your bottle. You love to eat. Some of your favorites are chicken nuggets, waffles, blueberries, bananas, turkey. I really haven't found much that you don't eat. We are staying away from dairy until you turn 1 and then we can do some allergy testing.
-Major Stranger Danger. You are very dramatic and let it be known that you do not like anyone to hold you other than a few select people. You put on a very sad, pouting face and then scream. This is always such a hard phase, but one that also quickly passes.
-Starting to pull the bows off your head. OH NO!!! Not the end of your bows.
-Your hair is beginning to grow. Still pretty short, but you now have some wispy strands.
-Teeth: 2 top, 2 bottom
-Your tongue is always out. It is so cute.
-Your eyes are getting darker and I think starting to turn green
-Love getting into Marley & Serena's water bowl
-1st plane trip to Maui. You did great! No crying, just lots of movement
-Good sleeper, but still wake up at night once or twice when you lose your binky

Paisley...you are so sweet! You go with the flow and are pretty mellow. You are brave, active, sweet and very loving. Sometimes you just want to snuggle, while other times you are on the go. We love seeing your personality shine. You are becoming much more independent and starting to play with toys. You adore your brother and Marley and just want to be doing whatever they are. We love you P!
