10 Months


Anna's last couple of weeks have been full of fun new tricks and surprises. She has two more teeth on the top, she kinda crawls AND the most notable change is her ability to say "Dada"! In fact, the first time she said it she looked straight at Peter and said "Hi Dada" clear as day and repeated it for two hours (probably because we were all going nuts! :)

Her "Hi", "Bye-Bye" and wave have all come together this month. Anna totally gets peek-a-boo. I throw a towel on her head (not recommended) and she pulls it off and on every time waiting for "Peek-a-Boo!". She also seems to know who Kate and Max are because we will ask where is _____? she will looks for _______ and then gives a big grin.

We have tried a few new foods this month including prunes, cucumber, bread, tofu, watermelon, grapes, broccoli :( and graham crackers.

She continues to roll everywhere with a little push off her toes, wall, or furniture to help her along a little. She has just started something that resembles a crawl/wiggle/worm that does move her forward. She loves it when we hold her in a standing position and she dances like crazy!

We started physical therapy this month because she was not sitting.  Fortunately, we have concluded that there is nothing physically or neurologically wrong; therefore, with a little extra work (Rx: play time with larger toys), we should be able to help her figure out this skill...  Thanks to sitting boot camp with Kate and Max, Anna was sitting in three days.

In the pool, she has started experimenting a little with dipping her head in the water. Our pool has a zero entry area for the kids and she will roll across the part with a couple inches of water and VERY carefully dips the top of her head in the water and lets the water roll down her face.
