10 Months

Can you believe it? We're still kind of in shock over here. Peyton's personality shines through more and more every day and we can't get enough of her. This month was full of late nights with the olympics, fun visitors, attempts to crawl and walk, and squeezing in snuggles whenever she'll let us.

This month Peyton:

- cruises along any and all furniture she can
- has figured out how to splash in the bath tub - quickly making it her favorite part of the day
- has gotten pickier with her food
- eats more "grown up" food than before
- found about 5 different kinds of laughs that she cycles through
- discovered her love for bubbles
- recognizes the sound of dad coming home and gets SO excited every day
- LOVES stuffed animals (this has been a fun one to watch develop recently)
- still loves walks
- is happiest with a full belly and holding on to mom or dad walking around
- figured out how to point and loves to point at anything and everything, especially outside
- still loves watching other kids/babies no matter where we are
- enjoys playing in laundry baskets, especially if there are socks to play with
- is getting better at staying in the carseat happily
- dances lots to all kinds of music
- has 4 teeth! We think we feel the next one too :)
- has continued to sleep through the night, thank goodness!
- is exploring new sounds (still no mama though)
- found the knobs on kitchen and bathroom cabinets and loves to grab them
- also loves her dresser drawer pulls
- figured out she can pull all the movies and books off the shelf
- loves to be moving constantly, which is probably part of the reason she likes to eat so much
- does not like to be put down, loves to be held or walking 99% of the day (the pictures make this pretty clear)
- is obsessed with looking at lights and light fixtures
- signs "more" and "all done" pretty frequently (she understands a few others, but won't sign them back)
- makes us the happiest parents!
