10 months...Wow! You are growing into a little girl more and more each day. You are no longer my little baby, but a curious little girl who wants to see, touch, and eat everything! We have moved into a bigger house, of which you are the Queen Bee. You have toys in the corners of every room and travel around like you own the place. We have had some construction done on the house and you have melted the worker's heart with your laughter, smiles, and screeches. 
You have started to play with other children. You chased a boy around at church who was about your same size, but six months older. All you wanted to do was play, but you scared him. You don't know your own size yet. 
You are now a master at picking up food and feeding yourself. You love bananas, avocados, yams, and pears. Pancakes have become an easy snack to give you on-the-go; you even had some gnocchi yesterday and liked them. You are a total jabber-box--it is hard to keep you quiet! Our new house doesn't have a separate room for Dad's office. When he has to make a phone call, I have to put you in your room, which you love, by the way. I am constantly surprised at how well you play on your own. You love having the freedom to roam and will do so without needing me for a half hour or more.
You have 5 teeth and a sixth that should be making an appearance any day now. You have also started making different faces while you are playing. I don't know if they mean anything or you are just trying different things, but they are hilarious.
Your hair is finally getting long enough to be able to do different things. The back is getting really curly, I am excited to see what happens when it gets long!
We have added to our "good night ritual." Dad has been so busy during the day that he doesn't get to play with you as much as he wants, but he stops the last ten minutes before you go to bed and "wrestles" with you. You have come to expect it each night. It melts my heart each time. It is the best way to end the day :)We are having a heat wave, so I pulled out some of Ari's summer clothes. This outfit just barely still fits :)
