Sophie at 10 Months

My baby girl is 10 months today! If I had to choose one word to describe her it would be "busy". Sophie is always on the move and does not like to be still for more than a few minutes (unless there is food involved). She refuses to sit down in the bath tub, tries to climb up on everything, and once fell asleep standing up in her crib. Even when she is in her car seat I can hear her little feet going "swish, swish, swish" in the backseat. I love to hear her jabber to herself as she moves around the house, and she loves it even more if you follow behind her while she explores. I love this cute girl!

Sophie at 10 Months

28.5 inches and 20 pounds
Got her 8th tooth so she now has an even four on top and four on bottom.
Takes two naps a day - most of her naps are unfortunately less than an hour, but every now and then she take a nice long one and it is such a treat :)
Can stand on her own for 5-10 seconds at time.
Has mastered going up the stairs, and she can also successfully go back down a couple stairs without hurting herself.
If anything, loves being naked even more than she used to, which is why there are so many naked pictures on this blog (nakedness brings out her big smiles).
Loves anything that will open and close (microwave, doors, cupboards, drawers toys, your hand, etc...)
Food is her favorite thing right now, and she will eat pretty much anything. Last night she tried to snatch my fajita off my dinner plate, but I caught her and she had to settle for corn instead. Her diet is mostly fruit, veggies, yogurt, oatmeal, cereal, small pieces of meat, and I still nurse 3-4 times a day.
