Amelia is turned 10 months old last Tuesday - I am a few days behind! Oops! She is a crawling machine these days. She loves to explore, although our condo is becoming less and less exciting for her. It seems she has much more fun at daycare than she does at home with us. Amelia is pulling herself up on everything now, but I do not think she will be walking anytime soon. She still only has her bottom two teeth, but it looks like the top two may cut through any day now.
She continues to terrorize the other kids at school. She still likes to steal the other babies' pacifiers out of their mouths and grab hair, but she has also started pulling off all their socks too. I walked into daycare last week and nobody had any socks on except for one little girl who had one sock still on. I asked the teacher where everybody's socks were, and she said it was no use even putting them on, Amelia pulls off any socks she see immediately! I can only imagine how she'll be as she becomes older.....
Amelia is having some separation anxiety from me. She ALWAYS has to be held by me if she knows I am around. It's nice to know she wants to be with me constantly, but also extremely inconvenient and slightly annoying (okay, REALLY annoying). Hopefully this phase passes shortly. This new phase also includes her slamming her head back (onto cement, hard wood flooring, carpet, anything) whenever she is frustrated and crying for absolutely no reason.
On a brighter side, she talks/babbles all the time. She says "doh" more than any other word, and I think she knows Freddie is the "doh". She received her assessment from daycare and she is doing excellent. They say she is very observant and we know this, as she wants to constantly be entertained by watching other people/babies.
Here are some 10 month pics!

| Her favorite place to be is in the bathroom - I am sure that will change when we actually want her in there! |
