Marissa is 10 months old!

Talk about wiggly!  This girl will not sit still.  I had to distract her with the toy balls so I could even put the sticker on.  I can't believe she left it.  Marissa has no interest in sitting still- EVER.  Trying to dress her or change her has turned into a circus.  I do love that she is curious, but we are getting a work out!

Marissa is now feeding herself some.  She likes to pick up food and attempt to get it in her mouth.  She gets it about 60% of the time.  She has also mastered the sign language for all done.  I think they must have taught her at school.  The other day I asked if she was "all done" and she started waving her hands.  I tested it several other times and she would start waving at the same time she was turning down food.  Thank you daycare!

Some of our favorite things about this age and Marissa right now:
  • She crawls to us like a puppy (really excitedly with a HUGE smile) and then sits right at our feet with her hands up when she wants to be held.
  • When we snuggle when she is tired she will put her hands around my neck and play with the hair on the back of my neck.
  • She is wonderful at eskimo kisses.  She leans her head in and moves it side by side.  She hasn't really learned how to do it gently, but it is still so very sweet.
  • Her head still fits perfectly in the crook of my neck.
  • She holds my thumb when she drinks her milk before bed.
  • When I come around the car to get her out of her car seat she is so excited she can hardly wait.  As soon as she is unstrapped, she is getting her hands out and leaning forward.
  • We LOVE listening to the giggles between sisters in the backseat.  Pure JOY.
  • When she wants some love she leans her fuzzy head forward very gently so our heads touch.
  • As soon as we put her down for bed she rolls on her tummy and tucks her hands and legs in so her butt is in the air. 
  • She cries for us when we leave her at daycare. I am glad it is only a few days a week!
