10 Months

September 16, 2012

OK, Alana’s 10 months old now, so I guess I should do a little update. Here are some random facts/observations:

  • Alana is making slow progress in the crawling department, and finally starting to bend her knees and get her legs under her body, but hasn’t really mastered it yet.
  • Still no teeth, but at least one is starting to cut through.
  • Same babbling.
  • We have to lock up Newton when she eats, because otherwise she’ll feed him her food. She’ll even take a mouthful of baby food, then turn her head and spit it on the floor to watch him eat it.
  • She can wave bye-bye, but only does it without help occasionally.
  • She has finally learned to clap, and does so for her own amusement.

As always, there are more photos on Flickr (Mom and Dad, I know you guys are behind on the photos… Alana says if you guys aren’t interested in seeing her, she’s staying in Shanghai this Christmas.): 1st Shoulder Ride Alana vs. Grapefruit
