Anna at 10 months
Our little girl is 10 months old today! She continues to amaze us. She looks less and less like a “baby” and more and more like a little girl. Last week she was promoted to the toddler side of the daycare room! We thought there might be some tears involved because she certainly was attached to her teacher, Ms. Van. The only tears we heard about, however, occurred when Anna briefly had to go back to the infant side one day when her new teacher was busy. Cue meltdown! She seems to love Miss Renee and “big girl” activities like crawling in the play structure, making animal sounds during circle time, and using Play-Doh.
Anna has become very adept at repeating words… we’ve heard her say “dog,” “pop-pop,” “blue,” and “pretty” when coached. She has begun using “ma-ma” and “da-da” with the correct parent, and also uses “hi” and “uh-oh” at appropriate times. Her newest word is “baby,” though I’m not yet sure she knows what it means. She knows to wave “bye-bye” when leaving day care.
Anna continues to try new and exciting foods. The produce where we live in California’s Central Valley is amazing and we’ve been able to try out lots of fresh fruits and veggies between our CSA deliveries and trips to the Davis Farmer’s Market. Anna’s starting to get frustrated with being fed by spoon and wants to feed herself. Mommy’s been trying out some new finger food recipes with some success. A couple of colds and some teething pain have put a damper on eating in recent weeks, but her fifth tooth is in and she’s on the mend – so her appetite is returning with a vengeance.
This past weekend we had a visit from Aunt Laura from D.C. Anna and her aunt had a wonderful time together taking walks, reading books, and napping together. We hope to see her again soon in late July when we will be heading back East for a short trip.
Anna’s SO close to walking that we thought we might be able to report a first step for this blog update. She’s started reaching for things farther and farther away when she’s standing, but so far, she still breaks down and crawls to them. She is working hard and perhaps will be taking a few tentative steps in time for vacation with her grandparents. We are headed to Oahu for a week, starting on the Fourth of July. We are so excited and can’t wait to see Anna’s reaction to the beach and pool!
