Perry Frances is TEN months!

Our baby girl is 10 whole months old!

Perry's two top teeth popped through this month, and the two next to those are about to come in, too!  It looks like she will have a massive gap between her top middle teeth, just like her momma. Sorry, baby! ;)   

She is so active and so curious!  She is constantly moving, trying to get into something new, playing with a new toy, etc.  On the flipside of that personality trait, she is also a bit ADHD.  Haha!  Perry is not cautious when it comes to trying new things.  We could have some bumps, bruises, and broken bones in our future (fingers crossed that I am wrong!).  She literally cracks herself up all the time.  She just randomly laughs a lot, and it makes me smile.  Girl knows how to have a good time. ;)  She is so smart, and you can just see her taking it all in!

She stood without holding on for about 3 seconds on a couple of different occasions, but she isn't too interested in doing it.  She has started walking all over the place while holding on to her walker.  She smiles so big and is so proud of herself when she does it!

She started waving this month!  We are still practicing, but she is usually pretty good at it.  Sometimes, she will accompany her wave with a "buh" sound to say bye!  Her wave is more of an opening and closing of her hand, aimed towards herself.  It's adorable.

She has started eating more and different kinds of food and is a pretty good eater!  She gets so excited with anticipation when we put her in her high chair for mealtime.  Her favorite foods are strawberries, bananas, yogurt, and veggie patties.  She also really likes meat and cheese.  She will eat almost anything, except squash, peas, and sweet potatoes for some reason.  I've tried making her blueberry muffins before, and she was not a fan at all.

Perry is really a social butterfly!  She loves her teachers and friends at school.  When we go to music class, she is always crawling over to the other babies and wanting to play, while some babies sit in their parents' laps the entire time.  She loves people!  It will be fun to see her little personality transpire as she grows up.  I have a feeling she will be quite the extrovert!

She LOVES books now!  She likes to turn the pages.  I think she would prefer it if we didn't even read them, but just let her turn the pages back and forth.  We usually read her 2-3 books before each nap and before bed.  She always gets sad when we stop and turn off the light because she wants more!  Her favorites right now are Where's Spot?, Bedtime Blessings, and anything where she can lift up the flaps and see what's behind.

Perry Frances, you are such a joy!  We love you, big girl!
