I can't believe that in just two short months we will have a one year old! It seems like just yesterday that you were an itty bitty newborn... Now, we have an extremely mobile ten month old. This month has kept us on our toes! It seems like overnight you developed a desire to go and do anything and everything you can in the house, whether that be something that is safe for you to play, or something not as safe. :) Mommy and Daddy are definitely getting our exercise with you these days. We love you so much Elizabeth Anne! We can't wait to see what next month holds!
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
Weight: somewhere between 16 and 17 pounds
Length: 28 inches
Diaper size: Size 3
Teeth: We have one tooth, and a second that should break through any day!
Clothes size: You're wearing 6-12 months, 9 months, and even some 12 months clothes!
Sleep: You go to sleep pretty much right at 7 (after your last bottle of the evening). Most of the time you'll sleep until 6:30-7, but there are times you wake up earlier. We try to let you play in your crib until close to seven, which works most days!
Favorite activities/things: Sitting up, crawling, pulling up, trying to stand without help, cruising around furniture, watching GiggleBellies, trying to pull on the blinds, crawling to the dog bowls (yuck...), playing peek-a-boo, and trying to get the camera when Mommy is taking pictures
Eating: For most of the month, you've been taking 3 bottles a day, plus a sippy cup full of milk throughout the day. Two days before your 10 month birthday, we attempted to drop the mid-day bottle. The first day it didn't work, the second did, and the third (today) didn't... Hopefully it won't take you long to realize you get as milk out of a sippy cup as you do your bottle! You're still eating 3 meals a day, and most of them time you eat a snack after your afternoon nap. You eat whatever we eat (within reason), and have become an excellent eater!

Nicknames: Sweet Pea, Miss E, Lizzie, Little Bit
Talking: You're still very talkative. You make "p," "ma," "da," "ba", and "ga" sounds. You've started stringing them together and are just so proud when you hear yourself talk! You've been saying "mama" a lot lately, but still haven't associated it with me. Another funny thing is that you'll work on one sound for a couple days, then move to another one...
New adventures: You got to stay home alone with Daddy for over 24 hours! Mommy went on a retreat with her Sunday School class, so Daddy had you all to himself. The two of y'all had a blast! You also got to go to Colorado after Christmas! You rode your first airplane and did great, plus you got to play in the snow once we were in Colorado. You weren't quite sure what to think of it.
New Skills: Letting go while standing up and actually standing for a couple seconds, initiating peek-a-boo, climbing up the stairs at Gammie and Pops house, started giving Mommy kisses when asked, learned how to turn off the lights, and really started clapping and waving (but only when she wants to...)
I finally got some smiles outdoors for this photoshoot! I was a little nervous that it was going to be too wet (we got 3 inches of rain the day before), but it worked out! Miss E was definitely more interested in the grass than in taking pictures most of the time!
She's getting so big! Such cute pictures, I love the last two!
