10 Months!

Show us how many months you are, Cambria!

good job!

She now has her 4 top teeth along with her 2 bottom ones.

She loves creating disarray by pulling books off of tables, or by pulling every item of clothing out of our bottom drawers.

Most of the day she goes around saying ma ma ma. She also goes around saying da da da and buh buh buh. As of lately she seems to talk to herself while she's playing and makes lots of different sounds as if she understands what she's saying.
Along with her pureed food she now eats cheese, cheerios, cut up grapes, animal crackers, goldfish crackers, wheat bread, applesauce, bananas (shares one with mom every morning), rice krispes and anything else that looks of interest to her.
She now climbs up on chairs, stools, the coffee table, couches, the vacuum, the dishwasher and anything else she finds to help her walk around during the day.
She loves climbing up the stairs and crawling down the hall to push dad's office door open and see what he's up to. She's pretty good at stair climbing and can do it fast. It's a good way for her to burn energy.

Mom's first Mother's day with the sweet little girl who made me a mom :)

She has pretty good balance now and manages to stand for a few seconds at a time before she gets nervous and squats back down.

Dad found Cambria her first turtle! She got to crawl around after it for a while before we walked it back down to the watershed.
She picks up EVERYTHING off the floor and puts it into her mouth. I am surprised she hasn't tried to eat an ant yet. She knows she's not supposed to put things from the floor into her mouth so if she knows I saw her do it she'll give a guilty look and try to crawl away from me as fast as she can.

Her dad brought her home a giant bear full of animal crackers. She LOVES them and gets a really excited expression when one of us pulls the bear down from the top of the fridge and lets her take out a cracker or two. Here she is making her surprised/guilty face even though she is allowed to be eating the animal crackers.

She enjoys the swings at the park. She gets to go swinging with mom while dad practices tennis on the courts.

She will not sit down in her bath. She is up and all over the place. It's a chore trying to find something to occupy her long enough so that she forgets how much she wants to stand up and climb around.

Daddy is her best friend and she loves to play with him. She has started crying and crawling after him when she notices him leaving.
