since this event happened the end of may, i'm having a hard time remembering what happened when she was 9 months as opposed to 10 months. but i'll give it a whirl.
major accomplishments
- started crawling!!! wahoo!! on the exact day of her 9 month birthday around 7:00PM. yes. i remember weird details like that.
- 7 teeth had made their debut
- clapping when we say "yay!"
- went swimming for the first time. it went fabulously. she LOVES the pool. sigh of relief for mom.
- first time on an air plane. overall, it went ok. she hates confined spaces. could have been worse.
- she must have an imaginary boyfriend named "bob". talks about him all the time.
a few of her favorite things
- morning walks. this gal loves her some outdoors.
- her daddy. still quite the little pair. if he's around there is nothing by joy and giggling.
- the pool
- reading books
- watching other little kids
- not wearing her hat. refuses to wear a hat or sunglasses while swimming. argh... which resulted in the first time a stranger commented on my lack of parenting skills. it was a 50 year old man, married to a french women and they had an adopted asian child who was perfectly dressed in her designer swim apparel and big floppy hat. and their pefect child kept her hat and sunglasses on the entire time. he basically told me that because i wouldn't keep a hat on my child she would be BLIND. FOREVER. and it would all be MY fault!!! i wanted to hand reese over to him and say, "ok smarty pants. you make her wear it, and then come talk to me. just because my child has some spunk..." but i refrained. and smiled. and said "thanks for the suggestion." and then i moved to a different side of the pool.
the major event of the month was our family vacation to california. other than the plane, she was quite the traveling champ. We skipped naps, stayed up late, went all sorts of fun places, and totally threw away the schedule and she still managed to be a happy little thang majority of the time. i didn't realize how thoroughly exhausted she was though until we got home and she slept 14, as in FOURTEEN straight hours the first night in her crib. Her normal is about 11. The second night she slept 13 hours and then it was back to normal. but still. isn't that crazy?? she's never done that before, and hasn't done it since. She's a funny little chica. Sure love her.
