10 Months Old & Growing

Emma turned 10 months old recently.  Her Pop took her to a well-visit check-up with her pediatrician.  He learned that Emma is developing well and meeting all her "goals".  Emma is a tall girl at 29.3 inches.  She weighs in at 17 pounds and 8 ounces.  That is the 75th percentile for length and 35 percentile for weight in comparison to others at her age. 

She loves the waiting room toys in the Doctor's office!

As a big,10-month-old she enjoys the following activities:

• Being little miss independent;
• Eating whatever her Mom & Pop are having for breakfast, lunch, and dinner;
• Playing with blocks;
• Putting toys away into a box, laundry basket, etc.;
• Giving high fives;
• Waving hello and sometimes goodbye to everyone, including strangers;
• Enjoying the March madness beautiful weather that New England has had;
• Sleeping on her belly;
• Sleeping through the night (I am totally jinxing that one);
• Not sleeping on airplanes;
• Crawling (a post on this soon);
• Smiling with a scrunched-up, cute, little nose that makes you crack up laughing;
• Mimicking her Mom and Pop by giggling when they giggle;
• Discovering sounds that she makes, such as baby babbles or smacking her lips together;
• Starting to mimic movements; and
• Getting frustrated, shaking her head & fists, and making grunting noises.
