Grace will be ten months old on January 23. Over the past month Grace has grow rapidly. Her last pediatrician appointment with Dr. Rauwerda went very well. Grace is in the 80th percentile for weight and off the charts for height. Dr. Rauwerda informed us that Grace is on a trajectory to be 5'10" to 5'11"! She is a tall little girl.

Some new developments in the last month include the "big girl" crawl. She started with the army crawl at about 7 months and has now graduated to crawling on all fours. Other developments include clapping her hands and our hands, playing peekaboo behind the coffee table and "walking" when we hold her hands. She also pulls herself up on all furniture and scoots from piece to piece. A couple days ago she started eating dairy and has taken a fancy to yogurt. Other foods she eats regularly include cooked carrots, peas, wheat bread, avocado, turkey, black beans and the list goes on. She can pretty much eat whatever we eat.
Grace is very active these days and gets into everything around the house. She likes to "play" the piano in our living room, empty the entire tupperware cupboard in the kitchen and splash in the bathtub. I think she gets the energy from her daddy. She is also starting to get a voice of her own. She says a lot of "ma, ma, mas" and "bah, bah, bahs" and babbles constantly.
