Claire turned 10 months without me even realizing it. I have a friend that had a baby the same day and she announced it on facebook that he was 10 months. I was thinking no our babies aren't 10 months yet. It is almost birthday month here at the Meilstrup household so I was getting everyones dates mixed up. She was 10 months on the 18th.
She still hasn't figured out that you are supposed to crawl on your hands and knees. So she still army crawls but she is fast. Dave and I have decided she is going to be a swimmer because when she gets really excited and wants to get somewhere fast she pushes on both her arms at the same time to push herself forward, just like the breaststroke.
She has just started to pull herself up on furniture but won't cruise along it.
She babbles all sorts of sounds but can't seem to get mamma or dadda out.
She still prefers me but when Dave comes home she crawls excitedly over to him, he picks her up and then she reaches for me again. Dave is the means to get held by me.
She loves being near the kids. Wherever they are playing she wants to be right up in their faces. The kids are really becoming responsible for her. In the mornings when we get ready while I am helping one kid the other kid is in a room with her playing with her or reading to her and making sure she doesn't eat anything small. They like being in charge of her.
I decided I really wanted to try cloth diapering. I finally took the plunge. I have wanted to do it for a long time. I don't know if I will like it or if I will stick with it, but I bought the stuff and am excited to try. Dave is not so excited, but he doesn't change diapers anyway so I thought I would atleast try. Today was the first day and we had success! Cloth diapers are cute and I am excited about the fact of not running out of diapers one day and having to go run out to the store. We will see how it works out.
