Ten Things I Love About You

Peek-a-boo!

In honor of Rebecca turning 10 months old , I thought I would share ten things about her that you may or may not know. They are in no particular order.

1. She loves phones and remote controls, and only the real ones. You can't fool her with a toy or one without batteries. I have passed off a calculator as a remote once, but it did not last long.

2. She now has 5 (almost 6) teeth. (No babies were hurt taking this picture.)

3. She is still a wiggle worm. The only, and I mean only, time she is still is when she is asleep or she is in her high chair eating. Other than that, she is up and down, swinging her arms, bouncing, or crawling. She is busy, busy, busy.

4. Even though she has been crawling since before she was seven months old, she has no desire to walk. She can get anywhere she wants to go by crawling, she will even crawl over you if you are in her way.

5. She loves to climb into things.

6. She loves to pull things out.

7. She loves to eat. Among her favorites are: avocado, sweet potatoes, oatmeal, peaches, apple butter sandwiches, and bananas. (She does eat meat, but only when I hide it in the veggies.)

8. She hates being strapped into things such as car seats and high chairs. She especially hates getting into her car seat. She arches her back and rolls over; then she grabs the back of the chair and holds on for dear life. One day I struggled with her for at least 5 minutes before she gave up. However, once she is in the seat and all buckled up, she is fine.

9. She is still not sleeping through the night. We can not seem to get past the 5 (sometimes 4 sometimes 6) o'clock feeding. Shouldn't she be sleeping from 8 to at least 7 without waking up? Please someone tell me she is not the only 10 month old doing this.

10. She is a snuggle bunny. She loves to give hugs, and I mean the good, wrap her arms around your neck and squeeze hugs. They get me every time. It is the best feeling in the world.

On a side note, we went to Chattanooga this past weekend for Chattanooga Cousin's Weekend. All of Rebecca's Kimball cousins were there. She loved seeing everyone, but was not quite old enough to really hang with them all. Here is a picture of them all, minus JW, who had already left for the aquarium.
