10 months

(This little troublemaker is actually 11 months old, but let's talk about her at 10 months.)

One day I was in the middle of emptying the dishwasher. When I turned around, I found this.  Let's just say she was being a good "helper".

She is the proud owner of two new teeth.  (Her top front.)   Her cute smile is somewhat showing them off in this picture.

And those teeth have been the cause of a fair amount of whining, drooling, 

And chewing on any and everything in sight.  She's not too busy chomping to give a cute smile.  Love it!

The preferred method of carrying things lately is in the mouth, not the hands.  Don't believe me?  Look at the evidence.  #1:

Even at 10 months, she still loves jewelry.  (Even if it is so she can try and eat it.)  But we did manage to capture a picture of her wearing these lovely earrings.

A few other things about Brylen at 10 months:

-She is great at saying "No no no."  She thinks the heater we keep downstairs is called a "No no no",  because every time she starts crawling over to it, she says "no no no."

- She is a master crawler and can get anywhere she wants to go.  

-She eats most table food and isn't picky about any adult food.  But she is slightly more particular about baby food.  And if she sees regular food while eating baby food, she wants nothing more to do with the baby food.

-She is incredibly STUBBORN when it comes to drinking liquids!  We have tried formula and soy milk and she will.not.drink. more than a swallow (or two).  And she WILL NOT drink from any bottle!  Boy, she is stubborn!

- She is still VERY small for her age. She weights 13 lbs 6 oz. We have had to take her in for weight checks every few weeks to make sure she is progressing, but due to sickness, she has lost some weight a few different times.

-She has been sick SO much this winter!  Poor thing almost always has a cold.  (Which I am convinced is effecting her weight.  She just doesn't eat as good when she has a cold.)

-She pretty much is the cutest baby around!
