10 months old

Our baby girl is 10 months old!

At 10 months, Bria is so much fun. She's a copy cat -- she loves to copy hand motions like clapping, waving, "giving five" and more. She has started doing some sign language, too, including the sign for milk.

Bria weighed 15 pounds, 1 ounce (6.8 kilos) at her doctor's appointment on Tuesday, which puts her in the 5th percentile for her age. Her doctor was very happy with that, saying she has stayed right in a healthy curve of growth.

She is still a good nurser, and loves food -- as long as she can feed herself! None of this baby cereal or mashed baby foods, thank you very much. Some of her favorites are scrambled eggs, french fries, and chicken. She also eats fruits and vegetables really well.

Bria is crawling around being busy, busy, busy all the time, and has been considering walking for a while. She stands up for a few seconds on her own, and spends a lot of her time standing up with her back leaning against something, rather than holding on.

She sleeps through the night in her crib, which is a big yay, and new this month. It was a pretty simple transition, and she was probably wondering why Mommy and Daddy didn't do it sooner!

Bria is starting to open up to outside people a bit more now -- Gramma has been glad that baby is finally a bit happier about letting her hold her. Her favorite people to go to are still her family members, though. She isn't a big fan of strangers unless they keep their distance!

She is a very happy baby. She loves music -- dances to the most random things -- and really enjoys spending time with other kids. She picks them out everywhere! ("Ooh Mom, gotta stop, there's a KID!" as we walk by.)

Bria is also becoming quite the little communicator. She likes to try to repeat words you say, and has a few that she says often...Mama, Dada, Daddy, Hiiiiii!, Bye-bye, Uh-oh, Wow!, Whoah, Ball....
