New Milestones - 9 Months to 10 Months

I am 10 months old now. Mommy is very sad that I am growing up so quickly. She says I'm not going to be a baby anymore. I tell her that I'll always be her little baby. This month I had two big milestones.

For one, I now eat food and mommy makes me fresh, yummy fruits and veggies. I eat broccoli, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, pears, peaches, watermelon, and cantaloupe. I do not like bananas, apples, and avocados. I've got a sweet tooth just like my daddy and mommy, so I prefer the fruit over the veggies. I also eat oatmeal, gerber graduates puffs in sweet potato, banana, and apple cinnamon flavor, and gerber graduates peach yogurt snacks. Mommy has also let me sneak in a bite of her cookie and blueberry muffin. They were yummy. I'm also really like drinking water out of glass, although I sometimes spill all over myself.

The other milestone is that I am picking myself up and walking everywhere - with assistance of course. I love walking!!! Yolanda helps me walk all over my house. If no one is there to help me, I use the walls, the couch, chairs, the table, Mommy's legs - basically anything I can get my hands on - to help me walk. One day soon, I'll get the courage to let go and walk on my own.

I can also turn on/off my music toy that is attached to my crib. Mommy doesn't think it is so funny that I turn in on in the middle of the night, when I should be sleeping. In fact, Mommy doesn't like that I wake up every few hours in the middle of the night. When is she going to learn that I just want her to see my smiling face? I'm having fun each day as I grow and continue to learn new things and have new experiences!!!!
