10 months today!!

Yes, we have a 10 month old!  This is so crazy (I think I say this every month)!!  This month has flown by!  Ellee seems like she has done so much growing/developing in the past 30 days!

• She went from crawling backwards to crawling forwards...and at a very fast pace.  Along with pulling herself up on furniture..and whatever else she can find.
• You tell her to clap, clap, clap and... she clap, clap, claps! 
• She stays balanced on her 2 chunky little legs for a few seconds at a time.
• She gives REAL hugs and my favorite...REAL kisses ---ON DEMAND!!!
• She knows when she is in trouble...she will look at you and smile.  It is so darn cute which makes it hard to get mad at her! She loves our entertainment center...I think its something about all those fancy buttons on the DVD player and cable box.  Who wouldn't like to push all those buttons!! : ) Oh and she LOVES to pull ALL the DVDs off of their shelf. Which by the way, she is currently doing!! Yes...she is up past her bedtime but, who cares...It's Friday! : )
  Yes, we have a laundry basket in front of the DVD player!!  Hey, whatever works right!?
• She is almost fully transitioned into a sippy cup --she went the WHOLE day today with no bottle.
• She is using her fingers to pick up food. And is managing to eat small pieces with out choking. Her favorite is green beans and small pieces of cheese. : )
• She hasn't said any words other than Dada and the typical baby babble but, you can tell she is really trying hard. 
  I think they will come soon! 

Oh yeah, and she has learned the art of temper tantrums!  This skill isn't one that we are very fond of... Especially when we are trying to change her diaper or get her dressed...  Ha!

She learns new things every day..it is so amazing!  I can't wait to see what new changes this next month brings!!

And of course...this post would not be complete with out her 10 month photo collage!!
