10 months

On the 11th Leah was 10 months. Holy smokes! Maybe it's because she was born so early in the year, but time is going by much more quickly it seems than it did when Isaac was this age.

Leah is MOVING! And into everything. EVERYTHING! And once she's into it, it is usually right into her mouth. I know this is the norm, but Isaac didn't crawl until he was almost 14 months and even then he rarely put anything in his mouth unless it was food that he liked. We've had to move so many things!
She is a happy, smiley baby. She still prefers Mommy, but is quite content with anyone especially if I'm out of sight.
She is not sleeping through the night. She did. Once. Jake can get her to sleep MUCH easier than I can-she has to be held and her bum patted to get to sleep. She's starting to prefer sleeping on her stomach.
Leah is attempting to keep up with Mr. Isaac, but he's a quick one so she's got some work to do. She loves to play with Isaac and his toys. One of her favorite things to do is to try and steal his cups when he's drinking from one.
She will eat anything-which is great at meal time, not so great when there's a speck of anything on the floor.
This girl is determined-she does not like being told no and usually just whines and then carries on with her mission. Favorite places to explore: under the desk, which requires her to crawl (and then get stuck) under the chair to unplug whatever she can before getting caught. The book shelf-thankfully, no books have been damaged (yet). The bells on the Christmas tree...and thanks to me and Jake skipping a day {or 2} watering it, it formed a new seal on the trunk and is D-R-Y and the needles are falling off all over the place! And lastly, behind the rocker in the family room where the laptop is stored. Even if we sit so our feet block the space between the chair and the couch she will ram her little head into us hoping we'll move. She'll keep going until we pick her up or move her!
Leah is still nursing ever 3-4 hours, but is becoming less and less dependent on me all the time.
She is a little stinker at times, but what a joy she brings to our home. She gives the best hugs and kisses and we couldn't love her more. I can't believe she's almost a year old!
