10 month update

Trying to play like the big kids!

MJ turned 10 months old last week! She's definitely growing by leaps and bounds! Her top two teeth just cut through last week and I think they made her even more whiney than usual. For a couple of nights last week she was up every couple of hours again but the last couple of nights she has cut that back down to just once a night and Sunday night she slept through the night and then took a good morning nap! She's getting tall and has started to climb on whatever she can. On Saturday we got both of the girls' bedrooms upstairs super clean and she had tons of fun crawling around all of the new open space and exploring areas she hadn't been allowed to crawl in the past.

MJ is starting to stand without holding on to something and she is starting to figure out how to walk when someone is holding her hands. She loves to come in the bathroom while I am showering and play with the shower curtain. This usually results in her head, arms and shirt getting completely soaked! The other thing she has started to do is imitate people. The other day Luke was making some growling noises at her and she started growling back. She also tries to imitate the sounds when someone says uh-oh.

We are trying to teach her how to go down the stairs the right way. Sometimes now she will crawl up a couple of stairs and then put her feet down a step and crawl back down to the bottom. I'll still be nervous until she learns what to do when she approaches the stairs from the top.
