A perfect 10

I forgot how much fun 10 months can be. Rachel is:

• cruising


• standing


• thinking about taking a step


• having fun showing off the 2 front teeth Santa brought her for Christmas


• loving the Leap Frog table Tracy gave us


• saying "dadadadadadadada"


• pointing to the light and say "liiiiiiiii" (as of today)


• trying to put on her socks and shoes


• clapping for herself at every possible moment (maybe a little too much self-affirmation?!?)


• closing every door in the house (I think she learned this from Libby)


• into anything and everything that Ethan does not want her to be into


• pointing to her hair when you ask her - quickly followed up by yanking her bows out


• enjoying being outside all bundled up


• eating the Christmas ornaments


• eating very small leaves that she finds by the door


• eating old McDonald's fries from the trash


• eating the mail


• eating nuts still in the shell


• eating Christmas light replacement bulbs (okay, only once did she do this, but I'm sure she would try it again if she could figure out how to get them off the tree)


• happy, happy, happy


• loving yogurt and bananas


• happiest when she's with Ethan

I'm not sure about her "stats" right now, but she seems very comparable to Ethan at this age. The only other thing I didn't mention is that she LOVES her daddy. Clay worked on getting lights on the house this weekend, and he bundled her up in his jacket - made for some sweet photos.
