10 months.

It is amazing that Gracie is 10 months old! Every month it gets more difficult to get her to sit still for a few photos. It was a lot easier when she laid/sat

 where I put her!  

I had to let her play with the cell phone just to get her to stay halfway still!

I am not sure who is calling her, but she looks intrigued!

Gracie is doing new things all the time. At 10 months, she is crawling like crazy and pulling up on the furniture. She cruises around on the furniture but doesn’t have any idea how to take steps on her own, which is just fine! She loves to spin in a circle when she is sitting on the floor playing with her toys. We aren’t sure where that trick came from, but it is very cute. She loves her bath but still hates having her hair washed. She has no time for getting dressed or diaper changes, regardless of the time of day. She has finally started waving and will usually wave if you say “bye-bye!”. She is inconsistent with playing high-5, put will oblige us from time to time. She still LOVES her food and is obsessed with Cheerios and puffies. She is usually pretty calm, but gets quite demanding when it comes to food. You cannot eat around her and not share. She loves bread and potatoes—mashed potatoes seem to be her favorite. She still loves music and has stared to “dance” when she hears music—she puts her hand up in the air and waves it awkwardly. She seems to have her mother’s dance moves, and it is adorable. She has recently developed an attachment to a small baby doll. She cannot say baby, but says “bu-bu” when she sees it. If we ask her where Baby is, she will go look for her. She also loves the Little People—she has a few that wear hats and those are her favorite. She will often carry Baby in one had and a Little Person in the other. She hasn’t quite figured out that she needs to hold on to something when she stands up so she often falls over due to her refusal to let go of a toy.

She is a very sweet girl and it is amazing that she will be 1 year old in 2 months!
