Louise Newsletter: Month 10

Lou - somehow you are now 10-months-old and are definitely keeping us on our toes! You are crawling so fast we can barely keep track of you. And you are stealthy and quiet while doing it sometimes. Other times you drag along a toy in your hand and then you are hard to miss as we hear, hand, slap, hand, slap as you move along. And other times you crawl around with something in your mouth like a dog. Too funny! You are a serious climber. You climb up and out of my arms while holding you, you climb inside the dishwasher, you climb up and over chair rails... Too bad you are going to be super tall like the rest of us, otherwise you might have a career as a gymnast or rock climber =) And you love to climb stairs, giggling the whole way up. You are babbling more and more. You say mama and know what it means. Everything else is pretty much, "baba". Signs for "milk", "more" and "all-done" are getting there. And you bang your chest with your hand when you are hungry. We feel that your walking days are not far off. You are pulling up to stand on ev.ery.thing. And up at the cabin a few weeks ago, you let go and stood for a few seconds until you realized it and then quickly fell to your butt. You continue to be a phenomenal sleeper, going 12-hours straight at night. You are still napping 2/day and have almost mastered the ability to put yourself to sleep. Sometimes you fuss a bit and we put your paci back in and then you are fine. With the hot weather, we have been at the pool a lot which you love. Though you don't necessarily like to crawl through the wet puddles near it, so you elephant-walk along. And you show no fear when trying to get in the pool to keep up with your brother, yikes! Happy Summer Weez. Love you, Mama
