10 Months Old!

Our little Ashlyn turned 10 months old today!  She is really starting to get her own little personality. A few things that have changed in the last month:

-Lots and lots of talking! We think she's created her own language. It often sounds like she's really saying something or asking a question...just not in English. Although she will try to repeat what we say a lot like "dog". The words she has learned that she uses often and most of the time in the correct context are "no", "mama", "dada", and her absolute favorite (but not really a word) "uh oh!"  Anytime something falls, or something just goes wrong she says "uh oh!", sometimes about 10 times.

-Lots and lots of walking!  She is now pretty much walking as much, if not more, than crawling. She can walk pretty far distances (across a room) without falling. She is VERY proud of herself too.

-She's pretty much off the baby food now except for snacks here and there. She gets about 30-40 oz of formula a day and regular table food or the Gerber Graduates if she can't eat what we're eating. We still give her the formula in a bottle, but she drinks at least three sippy cups full of water every day. We decided we're going to keep the formula in the bottle until she's 1 year, but at 11 months slowly introduce regular milk in a sippy cup.

-Two teeth! She finally got two front, bottom teeth.

Here's a few updated pictures:


 She adores stuffed animals and blankets. She loves to cuddle with both.
 I know the boogers are gross in the picture, but you can see her bottom two teeth :)
