10 Months . . . Getting Big but still Little

Height: 26 inches Weight: 16 pounds (still)

I can't believe what a peanut Camryn is. I find myself wishing she was bigger. Probably so it would look like 10 months has gone by. She is a very active 10 month old. The only time she sits still is to eat and when she is playing in the dog's water/food dish. It does not matter how much Camryn eats she always has room for dog food. Scott is bothered by this, I don't mind.

Cam's active phase consists of knocking anything down, taking it off, or taking it out. If I open a dresser drawer all of her clothes are out of it within 2 minutes. Her new favorite thing to remove items from is the dishwasher. She loves removing the silverware. But now, she insists on crawling in the dishwasher so she is no longer allowed to help with the dishwasher. Also, she is a great helper when it comes to her diapers, too bad she can't stuff them!!!
She is thrilled to be able to open our cabinets. Her favorite (until we locked it) was the one under the kitchen sink. Grandma Julie recommended putting rubber bands around the knobs to lock. The rubber bands have been on for a week and Camryn is still mad. I don't know why, she never removed anything from that cabinet.
Her other favorite cabinet is our bathroom cabinet. Everything needs to come out and then she crawls in and tries to take out the items she could not reach in the back.



Camryn's other favorite activity is pushing her push toys or just pushing her toys around the room until they hit a wall. She hasn't figured out how to steer yet but it is coming. With all the assisted walking she is doing she has started refusing to walk if we hold on to her. She will pick her feet off the ground and try to sit down if we want her to walk without a toy in front of her. In addition she has become quite adept at climbing. That all started with the stairs during Christmas. Now she climbs up the arm of our couch onto the coffee table and tries to get the box off of the coffee table. What a little monkey!!
