10 months

 

Corinne, you little diva you :)

You sure do make life interesting, and though it is exhausting, I love it! You are much more of a "busy baby" than your brother was, so it is safe to say that you keep me on my toes!! Just in the last month you have really started crawling fast all over the place and cruising on the furniture to get where you want to go. You have also learned how to crawl up the stairs. Talk about scary!! We were having our A/C serviced for spring/summer and you noticed the technicians walking up and down the stairs. I saw you get that look in your eye and out of nowhere you scrambled over to the stairs. Luckily I had my camera close by! :)

Heaven help me....

You're a climber!

You have also learned how to sit from standing/vise versa, but only still if you are holding on to something. You have let go two times, brave little girl, but unfortunately it only proved that you are not quite there yet. You fell on flat on your face :( Bless you heart. You got your lack of coordination/clumsiness honest. Sorry!

Playing with your BFF, Lydia!

We also FINALLY starting doing bathtime in the big bathtub! You love it! So much more water to splash :)

Splish Splash

On top of all of your motorskills, you are also talking up a storm! You are certainly Little Miss Personality. It never fails that when we go somewhere people stop to tell us how cute you are and they LOOOVVVEEE it when you wave at them - which 90% of the time you do. You know they like - people pleaser :)  People think I am kidding when I tell them that you have been talking since you were 4 months old, but I am serious! Here are a the main things that you say/do on a daily basis. You can say Mama (5 months), Dada (4 months), Lala (6 months), Bye Bye - with hand wave (9 months), Yay - with hand clapping (8 months), and Peekaboo - cover you face until I say "Where is Corinne?" (9 months)! Such a smart girl!!!!

Not only are you a talker, but you're also a screamer. Yes, you are "that child" that will let out a blood curdling scream for no apparent reason - other than to get peoples attention. You particularly enjoy doing it in large rooms that echo...like in restaurants, Target, and unfortunately in Church :-/  Maybe this is just a sign that you are going to be a cheerleader? Put those vocal cords to good use :)

Love your sweet giggle

You are still in 9 month dresses, but if I put you in a onesie or a sleeper, it must be 12 month. Since you're trying to walk, I have bought you a few shoes, which a size 2 fits you perfect right now. You are in a size 3 diaper and currently weigh about 20lbs 5 oz. You are growing like a weed, sweet girl! I can't believe that just this week I started planning your 1st birthday party. Where did the time go? I love you so very much, Corinne. I am so glad I have been given the gift of being your Mommy! Your beautiful face, the way you love you big brother like no other, and your sweet, sassy personality always has a way of putting me in the best mood.

LOVE you, baby girl!
Momma

**And just on a side note, there were very few 10 month pictures that you WEREN'T screaming in. You are currently cutting 6 teeth and are going through some serious separation anxiety...so most of your pictures look like this...

and this...

Bless it
