10 Months

Happy 10 month old Birthday! I know I sound like a broken record, but I just can't believe how fast Hannah is growing up. It seems like yesterday we were praying Hannah would sleep through the night and now we are starting to think about her first birthday party. Hannah is the joy of our lives and everyday is wonderful watching her explore the world. So what is Hannah up to at 10 months old?

Sleeping: Well, it's hard to admit, but Hannah is officially down to only one nap. It's on the early side to drop a nap, but she would just way rather play than sleep.

Eating: Hannah now eats real human food cut into small pieces. Her favorite things so far seem to be pears and avocados. She has also tried banana, corn, applesauce, pineapple, chicken, cheese, rice, broccoli, and oatmeal. She is working on picking the food up and feeding herself. We are also working on using a sippy cup, but so far it is just a fun toy. It makes me sad to read the baby books that encourage getting rid of the bottle at one year and no more bedtime feeding at 10 months. This seems so young to me. Hannah is still a little baby in my eyes and we are in no rush to push her into toddlerhood.

Tricks: Clapping, waving and pointing are still her go to. Hannah crawls everywhere and is getting fast. She also pulls up on anything and everything, including her crib. It is so weird to see her standing up waiting for me in the morning.

Sounds: Hannah said her first word last night "DaDa" At first I didn't count it because it was more like babbling, but over the last 24 hours, every time she sees Tim she points and says "DaDa." She loves to babble "yayayaya" and also make the farting noise with her mouth.

Favorite things: Hannah is in a mommy stage so I am probably her favorite thing:) With that said she also loves all toys, books (especially when you let her turn the page), Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Music, remote controls, cell phones, opening drawers, dogs, being outside, singing songs (Old McDonald, Twinkle Twinkle, Elmo Ducks are current favs)did I mention opening drawers.

Dislikes: Not getting what she wants, being left alone

What may be coming soon: Teeth???? walking, more words....

Here our pics from our park outing this morning:
