10 Months!!

This past week, Laurel's teacher asked me if I would be ready for her to start visiting the next class during the month of February so she would be ready to move up at the beginning of March. My initial reaction was, No Way... she is so young. Well, not really, she will be turning one in only two months and this was a reality check I wasn't quite prepared for!

- She has become very, very mobile in the last month. Crawling, pulling up and getting down, getting herself into a seated position and even a few steps along the furniture. It makes her seem so much more grown up. Although, when she wants to get somewhere fast she still uses her army crawl!

- She watches everything her sister does with great fascination. They have started looking at each other and giggling together in the car. They have races down the hallway laughing the whole way. She lights up and dances when Maya sings songs to her, patty cake is a huge favorite.

- Music is definitely a must, Laurel LOVES to dance.

- She won't eat any baby food anymore and so far she has loved almost everything she has tried; veggies, fruit, meat, bread, you name it.

- She started saying uh oh, which Maya got a huge kick out of.

- If she gets mad about something, watch out, she is sure to let you know. There is no holding back!

- Still no teeth. Her Doctor tells me not to worry about it, so I am not. The bright side is that no teeth is great for nursing!
