10 Months

Hallee is 10-months-old tomorrow.  She has changed a lot this month.  She is always on the go. 

She has decided that she is too busy for bottles.  I can barely get her to eat 2 ozs before she shoves the bottle away and wants to see what is going on.  I can get her to eat more in the morning, but through out the day it is hard to get her to eat.  I think she prefers food to her bottle now.

She has also cut her nap time down.  She takes two naps, but she is acting like she could move down to just one nap.  She stays up later in the morning so her schedule doesn't work with picking up the kids from school.  Luckily there are only a few more weeks of school.

Hallee's new favorite trick is pulling herself up on everything.  She is so proud of herself every time she does it.  She just laughs and hits whatever she is holding on to. She also likes to walk around the room while she uses her table for support.

Her hair is still growing like crazy in front and it is getting thicker in the back. 

She loves to be on the floor playing with toys and she follows me all over the house.  The last few days she has wanted to be held a lot.  When I try to put her on the ground she will arch her back and throw her self back on the floor and cry until I pick her back up.

It is so hard to get her to fall asleep anywhere besides her bed.  Sometimes I can get her to sleep in the car seat, but she won't fall asleep in my arms anymore.  I think she is just too excited about what is going on around her that she can't take time for sleeping or eating!

Her first tooth finally broke through this month. She waves goodbye and she was clapping today during lunch.  She also thought it was funny to spit out her food while I was feeding her.  Unfortunately I laughed and it became a fun game for her.  All of the kids still love to play with her and they all still talk to her in a high pitched voice.  The cutest is when Wyatt sings to her in a high voice.  The other day in Sam's Club he was singing, "E-C-O-L-O-G-Y, Ecology," followed by "yeah, ecology, yeah, ecology."  I love her big smile and her big eyes.  I love the cute dimple on her right cheek and I love the sound of her laughing.  I love this stage, there are cute new discoveries happening all of the time!
