Lily Grace turned 10 months today. It is hard to believe in a few months my baby will be one year old! Lily Grace at 10 months is a lot of fun but very tiring! She is still not crawling but wiggling around a lot more on the floor. She is still getting very close to walking by holding onto furniture, walls, doors, or whatever she can grab hold of. It will be very soon when she will be getting around where she wants. She has gotten to the point where she wants things and we can't always figure out what she wants. She also doesn't want to be held much anymore. She would rather be standing by herself but we have to stay behind her just in case she falls back. Lily Grace is tiring now and I know that it is going to get a lot more tiring the older she gets. But it sure is lots of fun!!

She talks more and more everyday. She has said a few new words in the past month. She says "elwo" (Hello) and will hold the telephone up to her ear. It is too cute!! She will say "welwo" (Yellow) sometimes when she hears her toy say it. When we start to go outside she will say "Hogan, Hogan, Hogan" over and over pointing at him. It doesn't sound very clear but it has the 'Ho' and the 'Ga' in it. We know what she is talking about! She also will point to what she wants you to look at and says "ook, ook" (look, look). She also says "uh-oh". And when she wants to go to another room, outside, or where ever she will point in that way and say "Go, Go, Go". Of course she still says MaMa and DaDa and a whole bunch of other gibberish. She will talk your ears off! We have a little Grandmama Sally!!

She still LOVES books. And we have a very smart girl. If you give her a book upside down she knows to turn it the right way. At first I thought this was a fluke but nope, she does it with every book you hand her upside down! It is amazing!! The teacher in me is so excited that she loves books! I hope this continues as well!

She is still waving hello and goodbye at everyone she sees, especially in Wal-Mart. I hope she never stops doing this because it is the sweetest thing. She has been waving for months so maybe she will continue to do it.

We are teaching her about sharing, so when we ask her for her passy she will take it out of her mouth and hand it to us. But she usually wants it instantly back!

She LOVES light switches! Every light switch we pass by, she has to flip it. We were in the doctor's office the other day and she kept turning the lights on and off down the entire hallway.

She has started dropping things just for us to pick them up. This game gets very old, QUICK! She has been doing this some in the past months but now I think she know what she is doing because she drops things all the time just to watch me pick up and then laughs about it! And if I scream, she will scream back and this can go on for a while, too! She loves to mock you.

The past ten months have been wonderful, exciting, an adventure, and the best 10 months of our lives. We have loved every second of it and look forward to many more. She is our joy!
