10 month old Tootie!

and her 'bad' self...

'On the go' pretty much sums up this month....Sailor is still butt scooting everywhere. I don't think she is going to crawl. I think she will go from the scoots to walking. She's getting pretty fast too, which makes it even funnier to watch her. She looks like a monkey or something. But she gets where she wants to go. From one end of the house to another. I have had to lock all the cabinets again. Baby proofing the house has been in full swing for a while now.

(too busy looking for your brother)

Sailor loves to raid the cupboards while I'm in the kitchen. I remember when Grey used to do this. She pulls all my plastic containers out and whatever else she can get her little hands on.

We are still in teething mode for sure. It has interrupted our sleep just a bit. Sailor has been a little restless at night, so I usually bring her in our bed to snuggle until she falls back asleep. She has two bottom teeth so far.

Sailor takes two naps a day. One at 9 and one at 2. Usually both are about 2 hours long and she goes down for the night at about 7:30/8 and up at 6:30/7. She's been sleeping through the night for a little while now, but as I mentioned I think more teeth are making their way through and causing her some discomfort.

She loves food. She will try anything we give her. She gets a lot of 'table' food these days. I am still buying some baby food just to have on hand but for the most part she eats whatever we eat. She also loves her puffs, cheerios, and loves to 'steal' fruit loops from her brother's bowl;)

Your hair keeps getting longer and longer and still really blonde. I love the little sprout we have going on top of your head;) It is always accompanied with a big bow OF COURSE!

You are such a GOOD baby and have been since day one! You go with the flow for the most part. We usually leave for the day after your morning nap and you are always ready to go wherever with a smile on your face.

You don't like to get your diaper changed AT all. You arch your back, kick your legs, and whatever else you can do to get out of it. This is usually where I call for Grey to help. My usual words are "Grey come bring Sailey a toy or come talk to Sailor while I change her diaper" and that really helps! Needless to say, your face LIGHTS up when you see your big brother. Especially in the morning when he climbs in your crib with you....you go CRAZAY! I love watching the two of you. It's the best!

But you also don't back down from your brother which cracks us the heck up! If he has a toy and you want it...you have no problem scooting right up to him and trying to snatch it and vice versa if you have a toy and he tries taking it from you - you put a death grip on the thing and start with this high squawking sound-ha!...you will learn the rules soon enough;) He is so good with you though!

(nothing like sitting on a bench covered in bird poop -right?!)

You have started to pull yourself up on things, but your legs are not quite strong enough so it makes me nervous when I catch you doing that.

I usually bring you to grandmas house for your morning nap during the week while I go to the Y. But you still LOVE it when you see me again. Your face lights up with the biggest smile for your mama! What can I say, we're pretty tight me and you!

I laugh though because I call you a little scavenger because you are one of those that puts EVERYTHING in your mouth. Grey never did this like you. I like to compare because it's funny how different kids can be. I am constantly 'fishing' things out of your mouth. YOu've already chewed on countless leaves, rocks, and have tasted sand and dirt;)

You are still a babbling machine but your favorite word is da-da...you say it constantly. I can get a ma-ma on occasion but not like da-da. You also say ba-ba for bottle and a ton of other mumbo jumbo words.

You LOVE to dance! Usually when I make lunch or supper Greyson turns my ipod on and the three of us have a dance party in the kitchen. You clap your hands to the beat - I think it's amazing the rhythm you have already;) Don't worry, it won't be too long until I have you in dance classes;) But, we should probably learn to walk first;) (I'm sure all of you would love to see one of these dance parties - we really let loose sometimes-ha! - maybe I will have Nate record one sometime) Even I find myself peeing my pants over some of Grey's moves...
