Ten Months Old

Another month down! Which mean, another month of exciting new developments from Claire!

At TEN months old, Claire:

• has mastered the act of cruising around furniture. She will cruise along anything she can get her hands on.
• keeps improving on her walking skills. She usually takes a few steps at a time, and definitely crawls more than she walks, but I don't think it will be long before that changes...especially since she took 16 steps (yes, I counted) tonight!
• still doesn't sit still for very long periods of time, as evidenced by the picture above. This was the best photo I could get this month.
• LOVES daycare. I swear that she senses when we arrive in the parking lot each morning because she starts kicking her legs and gets a BIG grin on her face. Fortunately for me, she also LOVES when I pick her up each day!
• definitely has favorite foods. The top of her list includes fruit, cheese and toast. She is not a huge fan of vegetables, that is for sure.
• still has ZERO teeth...I'm not sure we will recognize her when she gets her first pearly white!
• has started to enjoy books more and more. She will actually sit with us and let us read a few books to her every morning and evening. Her favorite books are the ones with peek-a-boo flaps.
• is a fan of music. She enjoys dancing with Mom and Dad and listening to her children's CDs in the car.
• loves spending time outdoors. More often than not, that is where I find her each day when I pick her up from daycare. She also enjoys several stroller rides each week.
• is super careful and very gentle.
• is becoming more and more like a toddler. It is such a delight to watch her change from each month to next...can't wait to see what month eleven has in store!
