10 months on the 10th!

LOVES: clapping, waving, pointing at EVERYTHING, balloons, stuffed animals, making noise with anything she can, bath time, story time and reading, singing and dancing, tap dancing in her jumperoo, bouncing, piggy back rides with daddy, any and all food, standing on her own for 20 to 30 seconds on a good day but not wanting to take that first step, Christmas lights, and observing things before touching them.

DOESNT LOVE: getting dressed and undressed, car seat (getting better!), and being forced to do something (particularly crawling when she's perfectly happy getting around by scooting with arms and rolling)

I will update more pics later - I am updating through my phone and it's acting wonky with uploading pictures!

9 months!!

LOVES: throwing and "catching" her ball, waving hi and bye, piggy back rides with dada, talking and saying mama, dada, and babababaBAbaBA, eating anything and everything, standing for 10 to 15 seconds on a good day, story time, dance parties, bubbles, playing and walks outside, any and all animals, rolling all around, and making noise with anything she can.

DOESN'T LOVE: getting dressed, diaper changes, the car (even after we upgraded her to a convertible car seat), and having to wait to eat.

Weighs 17.3 pounds (20th percentile) and is 28 in long (70th percentile).  The doc asked to come back in 6 weeks for a weight check since she's dropped quite a bit in weight percentile but we aren't worried! She still doesn't have any teeth and is more content sitting with a toy rather than being forced to crawl. She's the best!
