Lets see....some specific things she has been up to.........
Here are 10 specifics in honor of her 10 month birthday:
1. Anna now crawls up on her knees some of the time. She still relies on her tried and true "army crawl" though for most of the time. She does creep a lot now and can make her way around the living room using the furniture. She uses her little cart too.
2. When she pulls herself up to a standing position, she has started letting go for a few seconds and seems pretty steady on her feet.
3. She loves to stand at the toy box in her room and take EVERY toy out, look at it, and toss it to the side to grab another toy. This continues until the box is empty. She thinks it is funny if you sit next to her and put the toys back in as she takes them out...especially if you use sound effects.
4. She has just started pointing at things and making a "eh eh" sound when she does it.
5. I think she might know what the work "cracker" means because when I ask her if she wants a cracker she looks at the cupboard where they are and makes her "eh eh" sound....don't know though if this has just been coincidental. She has done it a few times though.
6. I also think she might know where the phone belongs. This also might be coincidental but she did it two nights in a row. I was talking on the phone sitting on the floor with her. When I was finished talking I put the phone on the floor. Both times, Anna picked it up and held it toward the table where the phone charger sits and made her "eh eh" sound. Each time I picked her up and took her over to the charger and we put the phone in it and she smiled.
7. She has started what I call "playing with a purpose". She knows how some of her toys actually work and is entertained by some of them for a little while. Especially her Jungle Tree with the sliding animals.
8. She still LOVES to look at (and chew on) books.
9. I have been cutting fresh fruits and vegetables into small finger food sized pieces for her each night. She has loved every single one she has tried....don't know where she would get that from. She only has a mother who lives for eating fruits and veggies. I hope she continues to love them as much as I do. Other than graham crackers I hope to hold off on any other junk foods for a loooooooooooooooong time. Well, except ice cream after she is a year old. I mean, who can live without ice cream (her mommy's FAVORITE junk food).
10. She continues to be the most precious incredible gift we've ever received =).
Crawling on all fours
Still crawling
Decided to turn away from mommy....
Being under the kitchen bar is much more fun....
Wow...looking at these pictures makes me really realize how bad we need to replace the floor...hopefully next summer.....
Playing with her Jungle Tree. Right now this seems to be her favorite toy.
Still playing....like the pose??
Oh yeah, one other thing just popped into my head. Anna knows how to climb stairs. Since we live in a bi-level house, she never really has had access to the stairs. At the top they are gated and we don't spend much time downstairs unless it is winter when the wood stove is burning. Anyway, the other day I was in the computer room downstairs and Anna crawled into the hallway. I followed her and she went right over to the stairs. I wanted to see what she would do, so I stood behind her and she very methodically climb right up them without even stopping or looking back. She was so excited as she was doing it because she was squealing and laughing th whole time! One thing she still doesn't seem to have any interest in doing is drinking from a sippy cup by herself. She still waits for me to hold it for her..........I know she will do it in time though. It is not like she will be 30 and I will have to come to her house to give her a drink.....I hope =)......
