ten.

serena is ten months old! what!? she's almost ONE, which makes me sad! she's so big and growing up way too quickly.

here's a little about serena at ten months:

she likes eating grown up food. in other words, anything on MY plate.
she still takes 2 naps and sleeps about 10 hours at night.
she jabbers on and on and is starting to imitate our inflection, but not necessarily our words.
she has two bottom teeth.
she can sort of crawl, but not really. she gets about 2 steps and then goes flat on her belly.
she loves splashing in the bath tub {thanks for teaching her, SEAN!}. i end up peeking through a crack in the shower curtain while she makes tidal waves.
she sits up in her crib and plays when she wakes up or if she doesn't want to go to sleep.
she is tall and heavy!
she likes climbing on her parents.
she loves watching kids, especially her cousins!
she struggles at church.
she "sings" herself to sleep.
she hates getting dressed.
she loves the imagination movers... and i must admit that i don't hate it as much as i used to.
she loves going for walks in the stroller.
she is finally starting to like reading books with me.
she doesn't like to be alone and screams if i'm not in her line of sight.
she likes to stand up {with help} and practice her balance.
she likes to give us trouble when we're changing her diaper {sit up, roll over, kick, etc.}
she is a happy, smiley girl.
