Sarah - 10 Months

Events:

Thanksgiving: We hosted Thanksgiving with Ted and my families at our house this year. Both our parents and our brothers were able to come and we had a great time. I loved seeing Sarah interact with her uncles. She had so much fun. She also enjoyed eating with the family. She was so tired that day she fell asleep at 6:30 and slept through the night!

Stairs!: This past weekend we noticed that Sarah can crawl up the stairs very efficiently. She now regularly crawls the whole way up a set of stairs. I have tried to get her to crawl down the stairs, but she just likes to go up right now.

Day to Day:

Eating: Sarah definitely prefers to feed herself with her fingers. Her favorite foods these days are corn, mac & cheese and chicken nuggets.

Playing: Sarah loves pulling things out of toy boxes and baskets these days. She also likes stuffed animals. One of her favorite games is to offer you something, you take it and say thank you, then she takes it back.

Sleeping: Sarah still wakes up pretty frequently once a night. But, there were definitely some nights this past month she slept through!

Communicating: She's definitely babbling and it must make sense to her. (We often think she's saying "what" or "cat" but we're still not sure). There's lots of intonation in her voice and she looks at us like we understand her. She likes to clap her hands when she's happy too. We're teaching her "High 5" and "Kisses" and she's really picking them up fast.

Favorite thing about this age: When she's joking around and cuddles and lays her head down on my chest.

Least Favorite thing: She puts everything in her mouth! I think I pull something out of there daily.

Photo session this month was a challenge... Here are my favorites!
