Little Scarlett Ann turned ten months old last week and she's got some new tricks up her sleeve! She is now pulling herself up on pretty much anything she can find - furniture, steps, cats. She learned how to stand up in her crib, but she hasn't mastered the sitting down part yet. Almost every day now I rush into her room to find her crying because she's stuck standing up! I try to teach her to bend her knees to sit, but most of the time she's already so freaked out that I end up picking her up and calming her down. Poor boo.
Her babbling vocabulary is growing, she now says things like "ba", "ga", "na" and "nang" along with my favorites "ma" and "mom". Her favorite babble of the moment is "da". Everything is "da da da da da da" and she says it in the sweetest high pitched voice. It's funny, when she's frustrated or mad she says "mom mom mom" in a low voice and when she's happy it's "da da dat tee" all light and breezy. Sounds like a daddy's girl in the making!
Let's see what else... When my mom was visiting she taught Scarlett 'So big!' We say "How big is Scarlett?" and she reaches her arms way up in the air and we say "So big!". She also likes to wave hi and bye-bye to everyone. She has two waves in her repertoire - the whole arm wave and the hand wave. It varies day to day, guess she likes to keep in fresh. Since I'm with her all the time, I notice little things like how just yesterday she learned how to take off her hat (super!) and how to bang two toys together. It's so awesome to watch her learn things right in front of me even if that means I'm going to spend a lot more time putting hats back on her head. Just trying to protect that blonde head from the harsh California sun! A mother's work is never done.
