Samantha at 10 months

Our Manfers is getting to be such a big girl! She is eating all sorts of table food now and drinking from a sippy cup (thanks Marts for the tip on the Nuby brand!). She loves cold cut meats, cheeses and generally eats what we are eating. She uses the baby sign for More to indicate to us when she is hungry or wants more, it is soooo nice!

She is crawling full speed, pulling up and cruising a bit. She hasn't tried to stand on her own yet but I have seen her go from standing holding on to squatting to sitting without holding on.

Her naps are down to 2 a day and she is generally up from 3:30pm until 8:00pm which is fun for us meaning more trips to the park and beach. She sleeps from 8:00pm until 6:30-7:00am; a few times this week she has slept until 7:15. Heaven!

We are entering the tantruming phase...she gets easily upset on the changing table and in her high chair if she is bored or tired. Unfortunately when she cries Aspen & Bruno start to howl which makes a difficult situation all the more frustrating but we are working on solutions.

She loves to play hide-n-seek and peek-a-boo and will squeal like crazy when you find her!
