Tinley | 10 months

Wow, ten months...really?

 

At 10 months, Tinley:

- Loves walking more than ever, and has grown taller making it less painful for our backs...ok well, not Carleton's.
- Walks along things, the wall, ladders, chairs, boxes, pumps herself up by taking loud shallow breaths before she goes from one bar to another (on the back of a step ladder).  Doesn't need to be pumped up if she's walking from one person's hands to another.
- Can take around 12-15 steps at a time.  We haven't tried letting her go any farther.
- Claps for herself when she's done something she's proud of, if she's holding onto something with one hand, she'll slap her leg.  When she claps, it's her way of telling you you should be clapping.
- Says uh uh and shakes her head "no" if she doesn't want something or doesn't like something, or spits out her tongue and blows bubbles.
- Claps or kicks her feet really fast for "yes" or if she's excited about something.
- Crawled once, she covers a decent distance on her belly for not crawling, she's kind of army crawling.
- Has 8 teeth that are FREAKING sharp
- Loves chicken, black beans, tomatoes, and oranges.  The last two are probably her favorite things, but still loves almost all foods.
- Takes her bow out if it's hanging down at all but once I put it back in, she's pretty good about leaving it there.
- Is fascinated by the faucet while in the tub.
