10 Months

I can't believe that Miley is already 10 months old.  It seems like she was just born!  She is getting so big and acting less and less like a baby every day.  Except for when she wakes up crying in the middle of the night, then we remember that she is still a baby.

 Miley has quite the little temper and is really good at telling us when she is mad.  One the other hand, if she isn't mad she is really happy!  She just has one tooth right now and my favorite thing ever is when she smiles so big that her one baby tooth peeks out above her bottom lip.

Miley's two favorite places in the house are the pantry and the bathroom.  She really loves her food and bath time and knows what is coming when she goes into either of those rooms.  She gets so excited and starts flapping her arms, trying to clap. She has a similar reaction when we open any of the doors to go outside.  She would stay outside all day as long as you don't try to set her down.  She is not a fan of the grass.  Sometimes we can trick her if we put her on a blanket with enough toys. It only lasts for about 3 minutes before she realizes what is happening though.

She loves to tell us that she is "so big" and is starting to get pretty good and listening to us if we tell her not to do something.  She still loves to play the piano and will come "running" into the room whenever she hears me sit down to start to play.  That means that I only ever really get to play for the time that it takes her to get to the room before she has to get up in my lap.

She is starting to be a little more vocal now.  She has been slower in this department than her sisters, probably because she has been working so hard on her gross motor skills that she kind of forgot about everything else.  She can go up stairs, but not down yet, she pulls herself up on anything she can reach and lately has started to stand without assistance for a few seconds.

One of Miley's favorite things is to go around the house and help me open up all of the blinds right after she gets out of bed in the morning.  Maybe she likes it so much because she thinks that means she gets to go outside.  Either way it makes her really happy.  I love how easy to please little children are.  It will be a sad day when that is no longer the case.

We love her spunky personality and she keeps us on our toes every day!  Happy 10 months, baby girl!
