{Monthly Baby Update} 10 Months

Checking herself out in the mirror
Weight: 22.5 lbs.
Height: TBD
Clothing Size: This baby is all legs! If she's wearing Carter's, she's in 18 months. If she's in Baby Gap or Old Navy, she's in 12-18 months. Luckily the weather is getting warmer, so pants aren't a necessity. That way, I can still get her into 12 month clothing.  
Diaper Size: Size 4 diapers now!
Feeding: Half-way through the month, I decided to get all crazy and give her Stage 3 baby food (in the jar). She did OK with it, but didn't love it. I think I freaked her out because after a few days of that, she stopped eating baby food. Like, wouldn't touch it. Ever. Over the past couple of weeks, she's back to eating her Stage 2 baby food, but that was a nightmare. In all seriousness though, I need to get her off of baby food relatively soon but I don't want to go through that all over again. She's still eating her trail mix (Cheerios, yogurt drops & blueberry Puffs), yogurt, and a little bit of scrambled eggs and pancakes.  We've been noticing that she's not interested in her small, 4 oz. bottle that she usually has with her baby food, so we've dropped it. I'm trying to work with her on taking a sippy cup of water instead, but she's not into that either. (Seeing a theme here?) So now we're down to roughly 30 oz. of formula per day.
Milestones: Baby is crawling! Whoop! The night before Mother's Day, Baby K finally decided to get moving. She maneuvered her way to a toy in the middle of the living room. Freaked out. Then cried while crawling to Daddy. It's wasn't pretty, but she did it! A little while later, we tried it again upstairs and she was much happier. Now she crawls all over the place. And then as soon as she crawled, she started kneeling. 

Baby K knows where her belly button, head and (sometimes) ear is. I don't know how we did it, but it's pretty amazing. 

This is what you get when you ask her where her head is.  Baby Girl is babbling up a storm! Most of the time it's "vo vo vo", but sometimes when she's really tired, it sounds like she's saying"god, god, god". So weird. But cute. And just as of recent, she's also started saying "mama". Melts my heart. 

Loves: We bought her a Fisher Price activity table right after Christmas and she was interested, but not really. Once she's started crawling, she's become obsessed with it. The usual drill is, crawl to the activity table, kneel, squeal with laughter as it plays music, sit, chase Jack around the ottoman, go right back to the table, kneel, squeal with laughter as it plays music and so forth and so on.   She also loves batting and hitting things away (which is mom's current hate). We're working on teaching her "no" (which I'm sure will be her current hate, shortly).    Hates: Men. She clings to me like a spider monkey when a man comes near her. Even her Grandfather's.  Looking forward to: Summer weather so we can get her in a pool! And now that we know that we're having her party at our house, we're going to be in full-on party planning mode soon.
