Nicole is 10 months!

Nicole turned 10 months old on Sunday, May 11.

Proportions: She weighs 20 lbs and is finally tall enough to be marked on the wall height chart in her bedroom (29 inches if I remember correctly)

Eating & Drinking: She can drink from a sippy cup (½ juice, ½ water typically). More and more we’re letting her eat what we’re eating for dinner. For example, on Mother’s Day she had chicken, green beans, corn bread, and a few tastes of the creamy part of a deviled egg. She really enjoys feeding herself and having an attentive and encouraging audience while she does it!

Activities: Nic will pull herself up on any and everything – toys, furniture, walls, pant legs, nothing at all (see pictures), etc.- and is a very good cruiser (walking holding on to something) now. A new fun activity is climbing- over legs, up stairs, onto window ledges- and, unfortunately, she has no fear about diving head first off of tall surfaces like beds and couches. I'm forever grabbing her ankles and letting her down to a flip on the floor.

Cute Tricks: Playing “Indian” (bopping her mouth with her hand), waving bye-bye, giving kisses with a noise, imitating noises (especially blowing “raspberries”)

I love the bum pic. So cute! :-) It's amazing how fast the kids are growing these days. Can you believe that this much time has gone by already?
