10 months

Anna Claire turned 10 months a week ago.  It is hard to believe that it is time to start planning her birthday party!  She has really become such a sweet and funny little girl.  She is full out walking now.  No more crawling for her.  She does fall a lot but she just gets right back up.  She is curious about everything.  The plastic outlet covers were a waste of money.  She just pulls them right out.  I almost think then may be more of a hazard because they catch her attention.  She loves to walk around with her magic wand.  She all of the sudden will go to more people.  She use to cry whenever someone tried to hold that was not mommy or daddy, but she is finally getting over that.  She still screams at church though.  She really hates sitting in those tables with the built in chairs.  She really doesn't like being confined.  As I am writing this, I am thinking of all the pictures I need to be taking.  I will add some in in the future.  She is eating mostly table food.  She is only difficult if we wait too long to feed her.  If she is in the middle of a full out meltdown, she will not eat, so cooking can not take too long!  Thank goodness for cheerios and mum mums.  She loves to push her ride on toy around the yard.  She uses it as her walker, and can get around really fast with it.  So, if we are outside she is heading straight for it.  She loves to laugh at herself, so she will constantly do things that makes her laugh, and us too.  Bathing is very difficult with her.  She doesn't like to sit still, she likes to stand in the tub.  I made the mistake of trying to bath the girls both at the same time.  Will never do that again!  She gravitates to the stairs.  The gates have to be at all times.  I am starting to let her practice climbing them though.  Going down will probably be a while.  She can't seem to understand that she can't go head first!   I am so proud of my sweet girl and look forward to seeing more and more of her little personality coming forward.
