Bud, Kim, Abigail & Charlotte: 10 Months

I can't believe my baby girl is 10 months old today! I started this post yesterday when I realized that today was the 24th and couldn't believe how fast the month had gone. Abby is getting so big and so fun as her little personality develops. Here is what she's been up to:

SLEEP! We did it! Abby now officially sleeps through the night. My friend let me borrow her video baby monitor which made letting her fuss for a few minutes so much more bearable because I could see that she was ok. The first night she fussed for just under 10 minutes and then slept through the night. I figured it was a fluke though because she had only taken a 50 min nap earlier in the day. The next night she woke up at 2 am and I took the monitor on the couch so Bud could sleep and watched her. It took her about 10 minutes to fall back asleep (she was just fussing not crying hard) and ever since then she has slept through the night. It is SO nice and now she is on a more regular napping schedule too. :-)
She LOVES strawberries, string cheese, hard boiled egg whites, regular Cherrios, wheat bread and many other fun new foods.
She enjoys baths and took her first swim with grandma while in UT and then again with us.
Crawls really fast now and loves to stand up and hold on to anything including my legs.
She plays really well with her toys for 30 - 45 min and babbles and talks the whole time.
She still wears a few 6 month things like onsies but fits into almost all of her 9 month clothes and even a couple 12 month things.
Has a fettish with noses for some reason and is always trying to rip mine off my face. Ha!
Continues to be very social and loves other kids
Has two top molars that are trying to break through so she has had some sad days.
Continues to love letters. Her favorite shows are "Super Why" specifically the character Alpha Pig because he sings the alphabet and she loves Wheel of Fortune. Ha! I'm not joking she claps every time they spin the wheel. She also enjoys Baby Enstein and another letter video we have.
Has started to "dance" (bounce) when she hears music and it is so cute!
Gets a huge smile on her face every time I ask her what Dog and Cat say. She doesn't say the sounds yet but she knows them.
Still says "Uh oh" all the time and say "Daw" every time she sees a dog.
She loves her Daddy and gave him the most adorable hello after seeing him again when we returned home from UT complete with smiles, queals and lots of Da, da, da.
Has started slowly taking steps while holding onto a walking toy I bought her at a second hand store. Often the top half goes faster than the bottom but she is starting to get the hang of it.
Loves for me to crawl after her and chase her.
