Here's Lauren at 10 months.This month has been a busy one. She's crawling and cruising everywhere these days, getting into lots of trouble in the process. Fortunately, bumps and bruises have been minor.
Her latest fascination is books. She loves to pull all her books off the shelf. She has gotten very good at turning the pages, which seems to be more fun than hearing the actual story. We usually make it through about 10 pages before she looses interest, which is enough to finish most of her books.
At meal time, she is really packing-away the food. Bread is still a favorite, but pasta is a very close second. So far, she's yet to refuse anything we've fed her, including a wide assortment of vegetables and even some tofu.
Lauren has (once again and for good this time) given up the pacifier. Mom and Dad helped. She first gave it up around 4 months, when she was still sleeping on her back and had learned to spit the pacifier out but had not learned how to find it again. Later, it kind of crept back into the mix. But with her new-found ability to stand in her crib and throw it out, her pacifier got to be a major problem. Lauren took it all in stride, though. We quit cold turkey and it basically only took one day and she was none the worse for wear.
Lauren has finally started to cut some upper teeth. Her bottom teeth came so early -- in her fifth month -- we were starting to get a little worried when her uppers didn't follow soon after. That's all changed now -- much to Lauren's dismay -- since the pain has been interfering with her sleeping and play time.
As you might imagine, getting an active baby to sit for a photo can be a challenge. So here's a fun reel of outtakes from the latest shoot.
A word of warning about the outtakes...the file is very large. It will take a while to download (about 30 seconds) and you'll probably need to click on it again when it loads in a new screen to see them in full size.
