Ten Months Old

Miss Maddy Rose is ten months old today.

She is going to start crawling any day now.  Until then, she manages to get where she wants to go through a series of wiggles.

Here she's squirming toward a computer cord, one of her favorite foods.

She spents lots of time on her tummy.  There's so much to see, like Ben's toys.

She is easily distracted from being upset (see crocodile tear on left cheek) by cool stuff like the camera.

Even though she can't crawl, she can make her way through rooms and hallways at an astounding speed.

She got her first two chompers this month.

I gave her a pot and spoon to play with, thinking she'd bang the pot with the spoon.  She didn't.  She picked up the pot with her feet and hands, then bit it.  Like nails on a chalkboard.

Sometimes she puts things in her mouth that are actual food.  She's slowly getting better with eating "solid" foods like stage 1 pears.  She can now eat half a jar, twice a day.  Any more than that and she pukes.  Still no more than 4 ounces of formula at a time.  And she's down to two bottles during the night.  Other than getting hungry during the night, she's a good sleeper.
