10 Months Old

Reagan turned 10 months old yesterday! Double digits! I can't believe how fast this year is going and yet some days seem so slow. Again, we tried a new strategy for taking the 10 month pictures . . . we caught them while she was sleeping. We got the pictures and my sign is still in tact. She never knew we were in there!

At 10 months old Reagan:

• Says "Mamamamama" and "NighNighNighNigh" and "Dadadadada" and a bunch of other gibberish syllables, but no words are directed at anyone in particular. It's fun to hear her talking to herself.
• Loves Marley (monkey), Bob (dog) and Minnie Mouse.
• Loves to open and close everything: doors, cupboards, her garden door and mailbox, boxes, books, etc.
• Has some signs of separation anxiety, but isn't too bad about it. I'm glad she's a momma's girl for now.
• Has four teeth. Two on the bottom that came in last April and as of yesterday, two on the top that finally poked through.
• Needs to work on sharing. It's easy for her to grab toys from the other kids at ECFE because she can move and most of them can't get away from her.
• "Dances" when music is playing by bouncing up and down.
• "Sings" in her crib ususally around 4am.
• Feeds herself a lot of finger foods. In the last month we've included turkey from the deli, cheese, mac and cheese, diced peaches, mashed potatoes and sliced banana.
• And the most important milestone for last: At 10 months, Reagan is WALKING!
