10 Months

Lauren is 10 months old as of Tuesday!

• She is crawling fairly quickly and with purpose now - normally to go get one of her brothers toys which drives him nuts.
•  She pulls up on anything she can and just started cruising.  
• She just started walking behind push toys today and it makes her oh so happy. 
• She babbles a ton - a lot of 'baba', 'mama', and 'dada'.  
• She is in 12 month clothes.
• She eats 4-5 bottles a day and refuses any sort of finger food.  Even baby food with texture is out.  We are only successful with some Stage 3 - so she is on a mixture of stage 2 and 3.  
• We're still soy and dairy free although even on this crazy new formula she's still been congested...I've come to the conclusion that Lauren and food is complicated. 
• We lowered her crib so she can't escape and it makes her look so much bigger.
• She tries to only do one nap a day (aaaah!) and then is ready for bed before 6.  We're working on breaking that habit.  Two naps and a later bedtime would be wonderful.
• She loves Knuckles and Knuckles is starting to realize how 'dangerous' she can be now that shes on the move.  With Mommy or Daddy's help she can pet Knuckles and smiles and laughs the whole time.  
• Her favorite types of toys are ones that she can put things in.  Like the shape sorter buckets, balls in her house, toy that shoots balls.  She will put anything in them - the shapes intended, her pacifiers, her brother's cars...
• She loves the Johnny Jump Up and would jump all day if you let her.  
• Basically she loves to move, whether its crawling, cruising, or jumping.
• The hair she has is really starting to grow but not much new hair is coming in right now.
• No teeth and I'm not sure any are close yet.  She's been a droolin' fool for months now so I don't buy it that it means teething. 
• And of course she still has the sweetest little smile and cutest little laugh. 

We seriously suck at picture taking the second time around...like really bad...here's a few from the other night and some from my phone.

bad timing, she really isn't picking her nose :)

Sooo big!
