Frances is 10 Months Old!



Our little one is growing so quickly! She has two visible teeth (center bottom), and just sprouted the beginnings of a massive top tooth this week. No luck capturing them on film, but she will stick her fingers in her mouth if you ask about her teeth. She pulls up to stand and play with her toys sometimes, and pulls up to stand in her crib ALL THE TIME. Sleep has been difficult for all of us for over a week now, but we know it will get better with time.



We think she might be saying "doggy," and just this month she's started really communicating with us, recognizing and responding to words we use. She points to her ears when we ask her where they are, and points to anything on my face when we ask her where any other facial features are. She almost always gives a kiss if you ask her to. She claps and dances all day long.

She's all over the place now, so life is a nonstop game of scooping her up and relocating her to where we'd rather she be. This is going to be a fun Spring and Summer, when we can finally get out with her and let her take in her surroundings. I think she's going as stir crazy as we are.
