Taelyn is now 10 months old, measuring 20 lbs., 28.5 inches long, and has a head circumference of 18 inches. Just yesterday, she got two more teeth, making a total of 8 (4 on top, and 4 on bottom). She is still crawling all the time and pulling herself up against furniture and any object she encounters. She loves to walk along these objects and is cautious at times to prevent falling. At the same time, she is a bit more daring moving from object to object. She used make sure she had a hand on each object before moving from one to the next, but now she will take a step without the support of one hand to make it to another object. Taelyn has also improved her hand-eye motor skills. She can take two different toys and bang them against each other.
This past month has been all about dancing! Taelyn absolutely loves to dance and will do so anywhere, anytime: when she stands up against the coffee table, sitting on her knees, when she sees other babies, when she gets excited at the baby gym, and any time she hears music. She especially loves dancing to our singing/dancing Grinch Christmas decoration. We have a great video of this that we will post on our Christmas Smilebox later this month.
Taelyn's personality has also sparkled more and more. She is very affectionate and doesn't like to be left alone very often. She wants Justin or I to be by her side constantly. Though she prefers our company best, she is still fantastic with other people. She even had her first non family friend baby-sitter this month, and she had a blast playing with someone new. Taelyn loves her baby doll, ball, books, puzzles, and Sesame Street. She especially likes the doggie piece of her puzzle because she loves dogs.
