10 Months

Wow, can you believe it. Felicity turned 10 months on the 17th. She is really growing very quickly! Everyday you can see how she is just understanding more and more of what we say to her and she is really learning a lot.

She has learned to play peekaboo, which is really cute. If you ask her "Where's Felicity?" she will put her hands up to her eyes, backwards (with the back of her hands facing her eyes). She usually leaves them there for a while before she pulls them away. She thinks it is really fun. She even likes to play peekaboo with a towel or sheet or anything cloth thing that can be draped over her head.

She is really into eating foods that she can pick up and feed to herself. In fact, when we try to feed her baby food, she usually throws a fit until bits of food are placed on her highchair tray. She knows what she wants!! She is really up to trying new and different foods. She will eat just about anything you give her, but sometimes it takes her a few tries before she likes it.

She is walking around anything that will stand still. She even tries to use the dogs to help her walk, but most of the time they walk away before she can even stand up. Her newest thing is to just let go of whatever she is holding on to and just stand there for a few seconds. Then she realizes what she is doing and usually reaches for something to hold on to again. It seems like everytime she does it she stands for just a little bit longer than she did the last time. Before you know it, I will be blogging about her first steps. Hopefully they don't come when Randy is in Globe or we will have one sad daddy!!

A couple of Saturdays ago our friends and their sons came over lunch. Felicity had a great time playing with "her boys," Mikey, Luke and Jackson and we had a great time just hanging out with Mike, Lisa, Angie, Joe, Jake and Carey. It was fun to watch the little ones playing together knowing that there will be many more days like this!
