Layla, at ten months you are one big bundle of energy. You do not sit still for a second. You are a very curious, adventuresome little baby. At our Little Gym class, Miss Alli has designated you as the outgoing one of the group. You really have no fear, which doubles my fear for you! I think you've actually cried all of two times when you've fallen - most of the time you shake it off and keep right on doing what you were doing.
You are loving big people food and are pretty much over baby food at this point. And you beg! If Daddy or I are eating a snack on the couch, you crawl over, pull up on the couch next to us, and stare with your big blue eyes. Between you, Turk, and Mallard, we have a whole line of our babies wanting what we're eating - such bad habits! But it's pretty cute too, I have to admit.
You are learning new things every day, mostly by imitating us. You're at a stage where you attempt to copy every sound we make. You still love being sung to, dancing, and reading your books. You've started doing "twinkles" with your hands when we sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, which is adorable. And you are very social! Going to HEB or Target is definitely a different experience now, because you pretty much charm everyone you come across. You wave, smile, and try to talk to anyone that catches your eye, so we are often stopped so you can have a little visit with a perfect stranger!
You say "mama" and "dada" pretty consistantly now. And whenever Turk or Mallard are around, you say "duh" - so I'm going to take that as you trying to say dog. We're working on it!
We are having such a wonderful time with you. I can't believe how fast you are growing. We are so proud of our sweet girl and I can't wait to see what's in store next!
Here are some pictures from a lazy Saturday morning, right after Layla woke up:
