Happy 10 Months, Amy Grace!

Ok, so this post is technically a day late. But Amy Grace has now been a part of our family for 10 months and 1 day, and every day she displays more and more of her little (ok, not so little) personality! At 10 months she is suddenly eating like a horse and tipped the scales at 15 pounds, 3 ounces yesterday. After being fairly apathetic about anything other than breastmilk or formula for a long time, she has really developed a taste for regular food, and it's going to be a lot of fun introducing her to "big-girl food" over the next few months!

Amy Grace is also a TOTAL Daddy's girl - her face lights up anytime he enters the room, and for a long time she has played a sort of game with him where she will stare at him and smile until he looks at her, then start laughing and smiling even more. She loves for Brent to tickle her and roughhouse with her, and her daycare teachers are convinced that this is why she has no problem holding her own with two walking, 20 lb+ boys in her class. I absolutely love watching the two of them together!

She has not done too much new lately, except, dare I say it - sleep through the night! A week or so ago I started putting an extra ounce in her daytime bottles and doubled the amount of solids she was getting. She promptly devoured everything that day and slept the whole night, and hasn't looked back since. She is quite the early riser, usually waking up between 5 am and 6:30 am, but this actually works out pretty well since no good comes of my being lazy in the mornings anyway! She even slept through the night at my parent's house, which seemed like quite the feat since she was out of her element, so to speak.

In all ways, Amy Grace is really growing up now, and I know that the toddler years are just around the corner. We have enjoyed AG's babyhood, but I can't wait to see her keep developing and learning and growing every day.
