10 Months! Double Digits!!

I cannot believe Kacie is 10 months old. The past month has been FILLED with so much activity with the holidays, family, and being sick.

10 Months!!

• You wouldn't know it by the picture, but she has a double ear infection, bad cough, and a very runny nose. However, she has been in GREAT spirits and only fusses a little when we are trying to wipe her nose.
• She weighs 20 pounds, 13 ounces. The doctor weighed her at her appointment.
• She is finally crawling & pulling up. It seems like in the past week she has become so much stronger and faster. 

A new trick...climbing up the stairs

• She is babbling SO much. The "p" and "t" sounds seem to be her favorites. She uses so many different tones and inflections that we really wish we knew what she was saying.
• She has really been copying sounds. She says "dada" all the time. I think she is saying it as a word and not just sounds, because she looks at Jason when she says it. Or if he walks in the room she'll say "Dada!" and crawl over to him.
• She will point to her "hair" and "nose" when we say it.
• She started giving kisses! This is one of my most favorite things. She will lean forward with her open mouth for a kiss. So sweet!
• She started saying "Uh oh." At first, she was just copying us and my mom, but then she started using it appropriately when she drops/throws something without us saying it.
• She has 5 teeth! The past few weeks 3 of the top ones came in. That made for some rough nights.

• She is still eating baby food, but we have given her small pieces of things off our plates. She gets very excited and tries to grab anything we have in our hands.
• She started making a funny sound one day. Out of the blue, she made 2 fists and let out this loud growl. We have no idea where she got it, and I literally had tears from laughing so hard. She also started clapping when we say "yea" and here's a video of her doing both.

• Other things she loves right now: books, her doll, baths, "Fresh Beat Band," going outside, snuggling with blankets, playing with Earl through the window, eating puffs, empty water bottles, her daddy, music

We love our sweet girl and  can't believe it's time to start planning her first birthday party!
As always, here are the "extra" pictures from her 10 month photo session.
