10 1/2 Months

Makena is 10 1/2 months old. She has been crawling since November and is incredibly fast.

She loves getting into drawers and cabinets, especially the drawer with plastic containers. She loves her walker and can walk all over the house in it. She can stand on her own, but only when she wants to. She walks all along the furniture. She will only drink water from a sippy cup and loves it. She begs for your food more than any dog I know!!! She likes to squeeze in between your legs or under them when making an arch on the floor. Her eyes are still huge and her eyelashes keep getting longer, which draws even more attention to her beautiful eyes.

She drinks about 27 ounces of formula a day (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and before bed)

and she eats 3 meals(solids). She will eat anything you give her but the first time she tries something she gives a "what is this" face that makes her dad laugh! :)

She goes to bed at about 9 or 9:30 and wakes up around 7:45 or 8:00 during the week and she has even got down sleeping in till 8:30 or 9 on the weekends. 

She loves to wait by the window for her dad to come home from work and then they smile and wave at each other when he pulls up.

We have started playing hide-and-seek. She crawls away real fast when we count to ten and then stops and we pretend not to see her as we walk all around looking for her. When we spot her she laughs and claps her hands and waves her arms. She doesn't do this every time because she doesn't totally get it but after a few times she gets it more and does that pretty consistently. It is super cute!

Makena has four teeth. Two on bottom and two on top. 

She likes to chase her parents around on the walker and thinks it is funny to grab their legs. And she collects all the kitchen towels.

She has been grabbing for the spoon when we feed her and if we get some food on it she can put it in her mouth and slurp the food off. 

She is an absolute doll and we love her to pieces!! 

The last time we weighed her she was 21 pounds. So she is still a big baby. She is just below the 90% for both weight and height. Don't know how she grew so fast!!!

Well, that is all. She is begging for some attention. :)
