10 Months

I haven't posted that much lately and as Greta is now 10 1/2 months old I felt an update was in order.

We'll start with my favorite thing, sleeping. Greta continues to be an excellent sleeper going 11 hours through the night and still taking 2 naps a day. She generally goes 3 to 4 hours between naps and sleeps for 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the day.

Greta has a love for all things food related. She has tried a lot within the past month, mainly due to the generosity of family members. Thanks to her Granny (Great-Grandmother Collins) she has tried cake (minus the icing) and punch. Uncle Jack presented her with a few small bites of his Neapolitan ice cream sandwich to which she said "Vanilla is good, strawberry is ok but chocolate rules!" She also sampled pizza and pronounced it yummy. Another favorite is cinnamon rolls (minus the icing). Greta is definitely a fan of bread.

Miss mobility has been cruising around everywhere. This past week she has gotten super adventurous and is really walking well on her own. She'll take anywhere between two and ten steps alone and is quite steady. Each day she seems to go farther but her preferred method of fast transportation is still crawling. She is speedy!

The nursery puzzle has finally been solved. Greta has eyes only for men. The past 3 weeks we've been able to get Greta to stay in nursery and nap, provided she is held by a man. After her nap she wakes up happily and stays that way until we arrive to pick her up.

No new teeth to report although I think she's working on one. She doesn't really show any signs of new teeth until they are in so it's hard for me to say for certain.

We had church directory pictures this past week and Greta loved it. I'll post some shots once we receive them. We're also getting 1 year pics sometime soon and hopefully our next encounter with the picture people will be more successful.

I leave you with some pics of Greta's favorite pastime - rearranging her clothes. More times than not if Greta is not with me she's in her room pulling clothes out of her drawers.
