10 months old.... that is so close to a year that it makes me cringe a little. I know when she's 18 I'll be thinking that she was so tiny at 10 mos, but, right now, it feels like she might as well be 18 already she's so big. :) Look at those teeth! :) (Hopefully she'll have a few more when she is 18!)
At 10 mos, Beni is sleeping better than she was at 9 mos. We spent a few weeks doing our own version of teaching Beni to sleep- I just couldn't handle the waking ever 45 minutes anymore. So it took less than a week of getting her used to falling asleep without nursing (I nursed her and then put her in bed to fall asleep). There were tears, but, I never left her to cry it out on her own. She now goes down fairly easily for sleep- both naps and bedtime, and stay asleep at night for 3-4 hours at a time. Last night might have been a fluke, but it last 5 hours. That was nice.
Lookit that face. Beni is at the point now where she likes to eat more, and HATES having her face washed after eating. Oooeee...it ain't pretty. She struggles and squirms and yells. Ah, but Beni... no one likes crusty Vegemite or pears on their cheeks!
I can't get over how able Beni is now. Between the crawling and the balance and the grabbing and pushing and cruising and self-feeding... it's all a little crazy. She's such a different kid from who she was 5 months ago... heck, even 2 months ago. They change SO QUICKLY at this age!
Beni loves black beans. :) I like to make rice and beans and eat it quite often. Beni doesn't like the rice, but I pick the beans out for her and she gobbles them up. Yesterday she used the sign (as in, baby sign language) to ask for more beans when hers were all gone. It was awesome. She also knows the sign for all done, and bye bye. :)
I swear it was not long ago that she could not see over that table. Heck it wasn't that long ago she couldn't stand like that!
I didn't think I'd get looks like this from her until she was a pre-teen at least, but, there it is... classic, "Mom, can you knock it off? You're annoying!" Sigh. Like I said, growing up too fast!
