10 Months old!!!

Time for another monthly update!! 

Adeline turned 10 months old on July 5th. She's in an incredibly fast development stage right now, and she surprises us everyday with something new that she's learned. 

Her favorite thing right now is saying "Ma-ma" this applies to Reed and I both, as much as Reed tries to get her to say "Da-da" she always responds with a very defiant Ma-ma. As if to say "No no no, I think it will be easier for all of us if you two just have the same name." Her other words are "hi", "yay", "yeah", and everyone's favorite "heeeeeyyyyyy" (Fonzie style). None are particularly used in specific contexts other than repeating, or to signify she's happy about something. 

She also claps to show happiness. "You have pleased Princess Baby" we say. Just yesterday she started noticing when the people on TV were clapping, so now she claps along with them.

She's cruising along the furniture, walls and window sills now, but is showing very little interest in walking on her own. Crawling though, crawling this girl has DOWN. She crawls with PURPOSE, fast and direct. And when she spots something she wants she goes for it. 

 We're still raspberrying all day every day. But now she does it in varying tones, pitches, and speeds. This seems to have led to "singing" as well. So far she's high pitched and tone deaf.... like her mommy.

In the rocking chair (this was the rocker that Reed's mom used when he was a baby)

Look what I found Mom!

You know, just a quick game of pool.

Clapping

More clapping.... she was happy that i was letting her crawl wherever while I was taking pictures

She always has to pull the phone off the toy.

Sitting like a big girl outside.

One of my favorite pictures. Look at those blue eyes!
