When did my baby get so big? Baby J turned 10 months old on Friday and I am just in utter disbelief at the things she can do. It feels like she's just gotten so big overnight. Here's a quick list of what she's up to these days:
- Eating table food with gusto! Baby J still doesn't have teeth but she is chowing down on cheese, veggies, pasta, chicken, and pretty much anything we put in front of her. Her desire to feed herself is evident and she's doing a great job.
- Going from crawling to sitting up. I kept waiting for J to figure out how to do this. All of the kids her age seemed to be doing it at school and last night I turned my back for a second when she was belly down. When I turned back she was sitting up happily. Amazing!
- High fiving and blowing kisses. She does both of these mostly when she's in her high chair for some reason, but is getting the hang of it outside of her high chair too.
- Crawling at the speed of lightening! Baby J still does her own version of a commando crawl on her belly with one arm but she certainly is fast. She sets her sights on something and nothing will stop her. Occasionally she gets on all fours and crawls a tiny bit but she's so fast on her belly, it doesn't seem to matter really.
- Pulling herself up. I came into her room one morning and she was standing in her crib! Luckily we'd already moved her mattress down in preparation of this but I was still shocked. She's now pulling up on anything and everything that she can. It's crazy. And scary.
- Walking with assistance. Baby J gets this excited squeal and big smile when we stand her up and hold her hand so she can walk herself. She motors around and seems quite proud of herself.
