Happy 10 Months on Earth!

(You and uncle Dalan pulling faces)

 Stats

I have to be honest, I have no idea what you weigh or how tall you are.  I can tell you that you are in size 9-12 month pants, 9-12 month shirts/ onsies and 12 month skirts.  You are tall enough to play the piano at Grandma Sellers house while standing on the ground.

Firsts

Alice you had your very first Christmas! You loved the lights, the tree and even the presents.  You liked the wrapped boxes as much as you like the gifts in side.  You attempted to help open the presents however you got disinterested quickly and moved on to other things. You sent your first Text message.  Jessi, whom you love was the recipient of this text and she enjoyed it!  Your first New Years was spent sleeping as midnight struck.  But when you woke up on New Years Day you sprouted a new tooth, your 2^nd!  You said “hi” when we walked into Grandma Sellers house.  Every morning as we walk in I tell you “Say hi to Grandma” and this month you looked right at her and said “Hi”.  You then said it again to Papa Ron.  Now you will say it randomly but not when asked to say it to people… hopefully we will get better at this and start greeting people. You had a 2 week period of “stranger danger”.  You struggled going to anyone other than mom.  You even struggled to go to dad a few times, sad.  I was happy that this only lasted 2 weeks and you are now back to your normal, happy and personable self.

Tricks

Alice you still love to walk around and do so on anything that you can hold onto.  You have taken one successful step without holding something.  You don’t seem too interested or eager to walk on your own yet.  You ham it up for the camera and give big cheesy grins any time you see one.  You clap all on your own and can even make sound when you do it.  You clap when you are happy with something you have done and expect others to clap for you as well.  You are getting into some crazy yoga poses, mostly when you are in the bath which scares mom to death!  You are using many different toys as phones.  You hold almost everything up to our ear, laugh and babble, it is so cute.  You are really good at correcting or righting your balance which is helpful and you are falling over less.  Grandma Little let you play with her tablet.  She has a fun application that lets you touch the screen and color and make lights flash.  You loved it and now are obsessed with wanting to play with everyone’s tablets.

Wrap Up

Alice you are loving, energetic, talkative and funny.  We love you and the whole family can’t get enough of you!  You love spending time with both grandparents, all your aunts and uncles and your cousins too.  They get excited to be around you too and are entertained by your hijinks.  You are growing daily and learning new things constantly.

We love you very much!!!

Mom and Dad
