Part of the reason I keep this blog is so that when someone asks me, "when did your child first start eating dirt?", I can look back and know with confidence that she first ate a morsel of dirt while camping at Babler State park on Sunday September 4, 2011. This was the same weekend that we realized one of her top front teeth has come through (though barely visible) with the other about to cut through. This is also the same weekend that she started waving and saying "hi" and singing along with "la la las". It seems around this ten month mark she has begun to imitate, though with poor enunciation, it's hard to tell that is really what she's doing. I dare say though, when I ask her about "eee-aww" (our affectionate name for a squishy donkey), she responds back with "yaw". What I think might be "doggie" sounds just like "daddy", and when you talk about Baby Dani, she responds with something sounding like "daddy". Eventually though, like all other things, enunciation will break through, and that which we think she is saying will be completely obvious!! With that, I'd like to warn you all, better watch what you say...Dad might be in a world of hurt, whatever will he do for music?
She's doing really well standing on her own while bracing herself against furniture. She even takes "fake steps". These "fake steps" are her going through the motion of walking without actually going anywhere. She might walk before she crawls. If we put her on her belly which is becoming easier, she really does try to push up but just doesn't lift the lower and upper half at the same time. Who knows, she might crawl one day just to get a hold of some electronic device she's been drooling over and eyeing up.
Happy 10 Month Birthday to my Dani.
