Hello friends! It's been a while since my last post - I've been pretty busy! I turned 10 months old a couple weeks ago. I'm still not walking yet (which makes Mommy happy); but I am starting to stand on my own for about a minute and then I fall back onto my bottom. I've even tried a couple of independent steps when Mommy or Daddy are close by - usually falling into their arms. I'm also starting to climb on things when I can. I can go up stairs, scale the bookshelf, climb into the bathtub and even hold on to the kitchen table and hang for a second (Mama says I'm a monkey)! I'm trying all kinds of new foods (although I like Cheerios the best - I have them at breakfast, lunch and dinner). I love going to day care and seeing my buddies. We sit and chat a lot, have lunch together and go on adventures inside and out. Mommy is planning a birthday party for me since I'll be one year old soon - how exciting!! You're all invited so look for your invitation in the mail soon.
