Stevie - Ten Months

You have mastered walking and are beginning to try to climb on things... oh my! You can also finally stand up unassisted so crawling is now few and far between. You love to explore and carry your favorite toys around. You love your babies and are such a sweet mama to them. You "love" them by patting them and hugging them. You are attached to taxi and Ellie and sleep with both each night. You love your keys (and mommy and daddy's keys too!) We love to watch you play and explore with your toys but your favorite thing by far is to read. You are constantly bringing us books to read with you. You LOVE all llama llama books and can pick them off of the shelves (and anywhere else we have tried to hide them...!) It is so fun to see you developing favorite stories, pictures, toys, and games. You are so smart and observant. You love to take in the world around you and are constantly learning from everyone. You and fitz play tugawar which you think is pretty great. You have learned to feed him from your high chair, which he really appreciates! You are daddy's girl lately and will go tattle on mommy to daddy when I upset you. You loved your first Christmas and had so much fun with family. You loved the Christmas tree and lights, but especially Christmas books- llama llama jingle bells was read a hundred times and you laugh at the llamas singing songs! We love your new two-tooth smile and you are figuring out why teeth are so great! You still love to eat and will still eat anything. Still not a lot of words mostly just sounds for now, but you did say 'Boo' playing peek a boo one day. We can always get some giggles by tickling you.  You are so brave and will walk up to any big kid we see in public like you belong right there with them. You have such a big heart which we can't wait to see more of. You are smart, silly, brave, sweet, determined, and strong and we love you more than words can say.

 Sooo Big! And Sooo silly!

 

This is what most of the pictures I got this month look like....So Busy!
