10 months and counting........

Lily is officially ten months old. She is scooting everywhere. She scoots on her bottom, her belly and occasionally gets the knees and arms working into an actual crawl. But give her something to pull up on and she is vertical in a heartbeat. It is obvious that she prefers the walking on two legs to the four appendages. She hasn't started cruising yet, but she is trying a few steps here and there. She is approaching 21 pounds and is still on the shorter side. She has fallen into a routine quite nicely here in July of two naps and going to bed earlier than midnight. She still has some of the acid reflux but loves to eat, especially big girl food. She loves scrambled eggs, pasta, crackers, puffs, cheerios, and any other food that she can put into her own mouth. I am still shoveling in the veggies too, I figure I gotta stock her up so she can go years like her sister without anything other than nuggets. Speaking of her sister, Lily loves to play with Grace, watch Grace, giggle at or with Grace, play with Grace's toys, be in Grace's room and anything that has to do with Grace - she even says her name. Lily's words consist of Gacie, Dada, ni ni, and Tom swears she is saying mama - I haven't heard it yet. We are working on the baby sign language - milk seems to have stuck in her brain. She still has NO TEETH, but we are hoping that the 1:00 or later wake up calls have something to do with teeth coming in. We'll see. Grace starts school in a week and Lily will be going with me to preschool in August, should be an interesting month. I will let you know how it all goes.

Sissy getting in on the fun!
