10 months old already!


Well....10 1/2 months by now. The 10 month photo was taken on the first shot, all of the rest were crazy: Karin upside down, trying to jump from the rocking chair, covering her face with a puzzle piece. I gave up and called this one good enough. 10 months old and the girl is finally wearing shoes! They're necessary now, otherwise she yanks her socks off. Tights are pretty amusing...she gets frustrated after a while though.
Along with walking spans of about 10 feet like a little gun slinging cowboy...er...cowgirl, Karin's got a few more skills to add to her CV:
*Imitating noises (kissing, buzzing, etc.)
* "Words": Mammammam, ga?, doe doe doe
* Communicates that she wants a drink by flapping arms like a chicken and moaning
* Communicates dislike of weather (cold) by wrinkling nose and whining (don't we all do this??)
* Thinks anything her brother does is hilarious
* Capable of dealing without Mom for 1 hour at the neighbourhood pool babysitters while I either swim laps or do a deep water workout ("floaty class"). Chance is there so I think that helps.
* Starts daycare Dec. 1, 2 days a week (same days as Chance). I'm a wreck, stressed out, worried that she'll absolutely hate it & the professionally trained child minders will corrupt her behaviour leaving us to deal with a holy terror. Pretty much how I felt when Chance was starting daycare.

She looks so adorable in that chair! I keep track of and enjoy your blog plus pictures. Thought I should write a comment so you at least know that your blog effortsd are approciated! (I am still pretty busy around the house to fix things up and the blog is pretty low on the priority list right now, may be a good new year's resolution!).
