Holly at 10 Months

Holly continues to be our beautiful, happy, fun, and NAUGHTY little doll. She is so sweet and just adorable, but she is also so mischievous. She immediately crawls to anything and everything that she should not have. Charlie just wanted to be with me, which was challenging in it's own way. Holly is happy to play on her own, but her favorite thing to do is find trouble. She has climbed into both the refrigerator and the shower. Telling her no only makes her laugh. I even tried smacking her hand and smacking her bottom, but that really made her giggle. I end up putting her in a play pen a lot when I have to make dinner or do anything where I can't watch her constantly. When she climbed into the shower I was 3 feet away putting on my make-up. And when she got into the refrigerator I was next to it pouring juice for Charlie. The girl is fast.

Here are a few more notes about Holly at 10 months.

• She is still crawling, sort-of cruising, and she will stand on her own for about 2-3 seconds before falling. 
• She babbles a lot. Her favorite words are Mama, Dada, and Jack. Sometimes she says baba, which I think means brother, but I'm not sure.
• She is finally eating real food. For a long time she wasn't interested in food and only wanted her bottle. But one day she just started eating and right now she will try anything, and likes most things. She has eaten grapes, deli turkey, cheese, corn, green beans, cornbread, chicken chili stew, barbecue chicken, potatoes, carrots, spaghetti, macaroni and cheese, and a lot more that I can't remember. I have started giving her whatever we are having. Right now she is easier to feed than Charlie!
• She started waking up at night again. At first I thought it was a growth spurt, then she was teething, and now she has a cold. So there is always some excuse for me to get up with her. In the next few weeks we have got to make it stop though!
• She has two teeth on the bottom now and I can feel one or two more coming through on top.
• She is wearing 12 month clothes, although some of the arms and legs are too tight on her. 

Here are some pictures of our sweet little girl who keeps us on our toes!

So first I took this picture and thought they looked so cute playing together... 

...but then I noticed this. I asked Charlie if he did it and he said, "No, Holly take marker out my hand and draw on herself." He's probably telling the truth.
