10 Months Old!

Samantha turned 10 months old today! It's unbelievable to see how quickly she has grown and how much her personality has really developed. These days, her favorite thing to do is to reach for your hands and use them to pull herself up. This was something that I taught her a few weeks ago (never imagining that she would catch-on so quickly). Now, if your hands aren't right where she wants them/needs them to be, she will move them to the right position and "whip herself" up into a standing position. During the last week, she has further developed this movement and now uses the standing position to take steps to wherever she wants to go (while holding on to your hands). She is still unsteady and wobbles quite a bit, but she is determined and stubborn. She always wants to be on the move ...
