10 Months Old

Yet another month is in the books. We are officially 10 months old. We have to admit, this month was pretty uneventful compared to last month, but we still did some cool stuff. Of course we spent the day doing what we do best - shopping! As you saw from our last doctor's appointment (refer to August 15th post) we are growing quite nicely. I am now wearing 12 month and some 18 month clothes. Lily is still chugging along in her 9 month clothes, but is wearing her 12 month clothes as well. This past month we were able to dive head first into solids...literally. We tried cheerios, ravioli, macaroni and cheese, prunes, cantaloupe, graham crackers, pancakes, cookies, mashed potatoes, avocado, and yogurt to name a few. We are getting really good at self-feeding ourselves which mom and dad appreciate. I think Wrigley appreciates it too! This month I started pushing up to a sit and pulling myself up. We also got a walker and I figured out how to walk forward in one day. It took Lily 3 weeks, but she is getting the hang of it now. We are also practicing our walking skills along the furniture. Good thing our couch is squishy. Lily is a master crawler now as well. She crawls on all fours, unlike me who still prefers the army crawl. Lily and I started playing the game "so big". It is crazy that raising your arms up above your head brings out such a big smile on everyone's face. We did both come down with colds this month, but overall we have no complaints. Here we come month eleven!
