Scarlett is TEN months old!

At ten months, Scarlett:
*weighs 19 pounds 8 ounces (50%ile)
*is 29 inches long (75%ile)

*has FINALLY started sleeping through the night, but only on occasion.  The nights she does wake up it is for a bottle and then she goes right back to sleep.  First night to do it was July 22!
*naps great - usually 3 hours a day, sometimes one nap and sometimes 2

With Nana and PawPaw at the Arkema Company Picnic

*has 4 teeth - she got her top right on July 15 and top left on July 22
*is on the move!  She started army crawling on July 28 and is trying to figure out crawling on all fours.  Due to pushing off on ONE big toe she got a pretty bad sore which then got infected. Took her to the Dr and after a round of antibiotics she is better!


*can hold a bottle by herself but sometimes is too lazy to do it!
*uses a sippy but only the ones with straws!
*says "hi" and "ball" along with Mama and Dada
*gives open mouth wet kisses!
*drinks 3-4 bottles of Alimentum formula.  We tried to switch to soy but she woke up screaming 2 nights after that.  Now we are trying to add "sensitive" and she is doing ok so far.

*no longer eats baby food but eats lots of things we eat - tortillas, avocados, rice, beans, chicken, ham, toast, puffs, cheerios, waffles, pancakes, bananas, etc.  There are not many things that she refuses...in fact, I can't name anything!  Girl likes to eat!

*is working hard to pull up on furniture
*wears 9-12 month clothes and size 2 shoes
*size 2 diapers
*eyes still light blue and hair is dark blonde/light brown with soft curls forming

*doesn't like Bible class, especially if you take the hand held mirror away from her!
Trying to get a picture of her Bible class was difficult to say the least!

*is still a snuggly girl, which I love!
*throws a hilarious fit when you take a toy or don't feed her fast enough.  She is a spitfire - quick to cry but even quicker to dry it up, thankfully!
I can't even remember what this fit was about, but isn't she pitiful!?

*I went back to work this month and you stay home with your Nana.  You love her and she loves you - but I MISS YOU!


Scarlett Jean,
You make everyone around you laugh and smile - especially your Sissy.  We love watching you grow and trying to keep up with you!  It is so hard to believe we only have 2 more months of babyhood!!
