Alynna's Ten Months Old

Ten months yesterday and too busy to take a picture with Brownie. The picture in the middle was the best I could do. I tried standing her next to him, sitting her behind him, trapping her between the bear and a corner, but it was no use. That's why there's a picture of Alynna crawling away from me. The naked picture was taken a two days ago. I had let her crawl around naked for the fun of it and within a minute she had peed on the floor. Then she used her little radar to find the leftovers from the lunch she had just refused. Kids.

This month proved to be a busy one for Sissy Girl. She crawled all around the house opening drawers, pulling the items out and onto the floor, crawling down the hall, and pulling books off the shelf. She's in that stage where you can follow the trail of mess to find her. I usually let her make the mess, because if she's not out busy with her own activities she's clinging onto my shoulder for dear life. She can be incredibly clingy. A bit back was miserable for both of us. I needed a break badly, because she would scream even if I put her down at my feet! I think she was teething one of her top teeth. It seems that once it finally broke through the skin she was good to go. It must have been a doozie.

She is now eating everything, including yogurts and applesauce, so that's good. The only thing I've found that she dislikes on a regular basis seems to be bananas.

She is a joy and a blessing in our lives. I can say that with sincerity now that she's not teething.
