Ten months! The last few weeks have been busy ones with lots of traveling. Charli and I have visited NJ twice, PA once and of course driven through NY for each trip. We celebrated Easter with my Mom's side of the family and she found her first Easter egg and proceeded to stick it in her mouth. I wasn't concerned about this until two minutes later when her darling face was dyed neon pink. It was pretty fantastic but the 'mother' part of my brain figured it was not so safe so we switched the real egg for a plastic one for her to gum.
She got to see Great-Grandma and all of her grandparents, aunts and uncles this month (which is quite a feat considering some live overseas and there are 12 uncles and aunts all involved in different life stages and commitments).
The last week was spent in NJ saying goodbye to my parents and youngest sister and helping pack them up for another four years (yes, that's a long time) overseas but THAT is a post for another time. Yesterday she and I returned home to see Joel and our international student, Y, and join life here in CT again. It's always a bit chaotic stepping away and then back into 'regular' life but in the midst of it all she's been doing great.
Hot topic: Taking steps! Today she took a few steps by herself 3 separate times. I tried to get it on video the next time which ended in her face planting. Since the fall she's been a bit hesitant to try again for some reason.

Mobility Stats: Moving. Quicky! She still wants to hold on to something but takes fast steps and can often keep up with a close-to-normal walking pace.
Teeth Stats: You can see the bottom two through the skin on her gums so they're coming soon!
Language Stats: She's figured out that saying 'ma-ma-ma-ma-ma' gets her a response from me so she uses it frequently when she's hungry. Definitely going to be a singer as she's been working on varying her pitch... practicing vocal warm-ups already.
Favorite thing to do: Play with a singing, light-up chair that Grandma got her. It's in NJ and she can't wait for our next visit.
Easiest way to get her laughing: Playing with her Daddy.
Newest development: Taking steps of course!
