Taylor is 10 Months old

Dear Taylor,

Today you are ten months old! Each day you are doing something new and keep me plenty busy. Here are some things you are doing now. I can not wait to see what the next month brings.

-You started taking steps at 9 months old. By 9 1/2 months you were half way across the room. Now in the last few days all you want to do is walk.

-You can get up from a seating position to standing and can even go from one knee to standing with no use of your hands, your legs are so strong.

-Playing with your brother is one of your favorite things to do. You play just as rough if not rougher then John, but you both seem to be enjoying yourself.

-Water water water, how you love playing in the water. We have spent so much time in the water this summer to cool off its no wonder you have become a water baby.

-You have discovered Poindexter's water and food bowl and no matter how many times I tell you "No" you still go for them daily.

-You still love putting anything and everything into your mouth. Thankfully your bitting interest have slowed way down, my fingers thank you.

-You still have eight teeth and you love brushing them with your Little Mermaid toothbrush.

-Your fear of other people has improved. Over the last month you let other people hold you, play with you, and love on you. At first you are still a little shy, but warm up fast. Everyone is loving being able to hold you now.

-Baby food is boring to you and if you see that I am feeding you baby food you protest. You can eat your weight in table food and your loving it.

-You love your straw sippy cup with water in it which is wonderful given the heat we have being having.

-You are such a talker, more so then John ever was at this age. You love telling us what you think of this or that.

-Your close to 20 pounds already and 30 inches tall. Your head is up to John's shoulders now.

-You are wearing a size 5 wide in shoes!

-You can reach the door handles and open the doors now.

-You are still a daredevil, always finding new things to climb.

-You love yourself and love giving your reflection kisses.

-You are still a awesome sleeper at night time and during naps. Right now you take two naps a day for about two hours each, some days your afternoon nap will be three hours long. You go to bed at about 7-7:30pm each night and wake up at 6-6:30am in the morning.
