I wrote in my journal:
Lily is almost 10 months old now- I can’t believe it! I predict that she will be walking within one month. Back at about 8 months she started to stand, and now she is standing all of the time. She just recently learned that she can let go and still continue to stand. Although that usually requires something in her hand to distract her from falling :). She currently has 3 teeth with 3 on the way- which means the poor thing is pretty grumpy at the moment. She usually sleeps all night, but the teething pain has been waking us all up a lot. She is constantly getting into everything, especially once she figured out how to open the cupboards and drawers. She loves to pull down the things that I pull away. I am trying to get used to the mess she causes, but it’s hard. I guess you could say that having a child has improved my cleanliness- so thanks, Lily! She is so much fun to have around. It is hard trying to get things accomplished some times, but so worth it! For example, she makes working out almost impossible- turning off the t.v./work out dvd, crawling over me when I’m trying to do crunches, crawling under me when I’m moving my feet a lot- all the fun stuff. Her sweet smile melts away any frustration, though. No amount of weight loss could replace having her in our lives. In 2 weeks it’ll be Christmas and we’re looking forward to sharing that with her, even if she has no clue what’s going on!
