10 Months Old!

Posted by Abigail

I turned 10 months old this month and it has been one crazy summer! I found out I'm going to be a big sister because mommy has a monkey in her belly (whatever that is). I also have been spending tons of time with my friends and cousins. I even help at trivia night every Wednesday by giving Daddy the right answers. Today the temperature is above 101 degrees in sunny Georgia and mommy has promised to take me swimming just as soon as I'm done tacking out this update.



I have started learning more of what I like and don't like lately. Mommy says I'm stubborn, but I just think I'm opinionated! It's good to know what you like and don't like, and I think it's even better to let everyone around me know too. So here's an updated list of what I've been up to, what I liked, and what I didn't!

Likes:

• I really like Birthdays! We went up to Gwinnett a few weeks ago to celebrate my cousin Jake's 1st birthday and he had a froggy theme! We had a really good time playing with his new toys and he even pushed me around in his new push-car! Here are some of the pictures of our day:









I really like cousins! We've been spending more time in Gwinnett hanging out with my cousins Raine, Graham, Becca and Jake. I even got to go to my very first All-stars Little League Game! Graham is an awesome baseball player - maybe one day he'll teach me how to play too.



I really like my new friend Corbin! He's almost my same age and we like the same things - like Babytime and swimming. We went to a puppet show at the library together last week and he even came to the 4th of July cookout at our house. I was napping when he got there, but when I finally woke up we had tons of fun playing on the floor together.


I like Babytime at the library - it's neat to see all the bigger kids crawling around and walking. I also like all the songs and bubbles.


I like to get up on my knees and rock. Mommy says I'll be crawling all over the house in no time!


I like to pull myself to standing in my crib or at the coffee table. I also like to stand holding onto my new baby doll stroller Gigi got me!


I like to bite my new baby doll's head. Mommy says this does not bode well for Monkey.


I like to make the "B" sound! It sounds like I'm cold, but really I'm just practicing saying "Boo!"


I like to say "Dada"...a lot...

I like to sleep on my belly.




I like to clap my hands when mommy sings "If you're happy and you know it". I sure am happy!

Dislikes:

• I still really don't like physical therapy.


• I don't like to sit still for diaper changes. Mommy gets really frustrated because I like to roll over while she's changing me. I just have so much to do in such little time!
• I don't like to wear my diaper during naps - but I DO like to take it off and surprise mommy!


• I don't like purees very much anymore - I'd rather have whatever mommy and daddy are eating. To show them, I've been trying to grab the food off their plate :)


• I don't like putting on my clothes. I still make a fuss. I'd rather be nekkid.


• I don't like watermelon - I make a face.

There are so many more things I like and don't like, but mommy says it's time to go! We'll have to continue this discussion after the pool. Bye for now, friends!
