10 MONTHS


First of all, "9 Month Stats" at 10 months:

Weight: 19 lbs 8.5 oz (63.6%) -- She has gained almost 10 lbs since birth!
Height: 28.75 in (72.6%) -- She has grown almost 8 inches!
Head Circumference: 94.3% - Big noggin :)

Things she is getting better at:
She definitely knows her name now. She gives hugs and bite-less kisses now, even to Shade and Kellen. Sometimes when Kellen lets the kids sleep with him (while I am at work), Shade and Olive will end up cuddling together during the night. She is still crawling everywhere and pulling herself up to stand on everything. She has stood up by herself without holding onto anything a few times, but still no attempts at walking without one of us holding her hands, although she will walk with assistance pretty well now. She still loves bath time, books, and learning her alphabet (she will just stare intently at the computer or book whenever I do letters or numbers with her). She is working on tooth #8 (4 on top, 4th one coming in on the bottom). She is getting a lot more verbal, although still no real words other than momma and dadda. Sometimes she will sit and talk to something (or yell at it) like she is having a conversation. She is getting pretty good at feeding herself - in that she eventually gets the food in her mouth. She still likes to play with and explore the food first and can make a very big mess. She is getting to where she likes to mover her body when she hears music or any kind of beat, mostly by shaking her arms or bending her torso. She also loves hitting things to make noise, strumming on my guitar, smashing piano keys, and she also figured out how to blow into Shade's recorder. And finally, it appears that she is getting small patches of a very light brown in her eyes... Here's hoping that they stay mostly blue...

Video: Olive keeps finding candy we have accidentally left within her reach - Sharing a sucker with daddy (1); She found and ate/smashed 3 expensive chocolates while we were in the other room (2); figuring out (and tasting) the cupboard doors (3); Big brother loves can be annoying... (4); She LOVES watching Shade's math lessons on the computer (it shows a fish jumping and a rainbow, 5); Rocking in her chair and laughing with mommy (she can no longer stay upright in her bouncer chair, she even knocked it over and crawled into the other room once, 6-8); Talking and Tongue (9-11); Growling/Eating crackers (12); Still loves her binki (13); Standing up without holding onto anything (14, 15); Shade playing silly in the snow (16-18).
