Sage turns 10 months old! (December 24, 2009)

On Thursday, December 24 our little sweetie turned 10 months old! We cannot believe she has moved into the "double digits" - time does go by so quickly. Sage is really growing and starting to look less like a baby and more like a little girl. This is exciting but also makes us sad. Sage is rapidly developing and gains more skills weekly - sometimes daily. I was unable to capture the monthly picture in her chair as we were rushing around on Christmas Eve and left right after her nap for Bis Abuela's. We did get some pictures in Daddy's office chair right before we left for Bis Abuela's so posting these. Some things Sage is doing at 10 months are:

~ Sage now has 6 teeth!!!! She has her 2 front teeth, her incisors and her front bottom teeth.

~ Sage is still doing the army crawl but lately she has been trying very hard to get up on her knees and forearms and crawl. She cannot move as fast so gives up and just gets back on her belly and crawls. She crawls everywhere and picks up everything in her path.

 ~ Sage recognizes her name when we call it. She will stop and look at us when we say "Sage". She also seems to recognize "Stop" and "No" and will (sometimes) stop what she is doing. This is good when she is heading for something dangerous.

 ~ Sage can wave hi/bye. She is selective about when she waves and seems to enjoy doing it during mealtime and while we are changing her diaper.

 ~ Sage can clap her hands! I will clap my hands 6-8 times then stop. She will think a minute or two then clap her hand together. She also clapped today during music class when we were singing along to Queen's Bicycle song. Sage also slaps her hand down after you have shown her your hand hitting the ground, leg or her new favorite drum.

~ Sage loves to growl! She will growl back at you and even growls when she hears Max growling.

 ~ Sage is still trying to stand up and constantly looking for things to support her. She does not really stand up like the earlier post so unsure if she is scared or just a little lazy. :)

~ Sage is mostly eating baby food and we are moving towards getting her on more solid/adult food. She does not seem very interested but we will focus more on this.

~ Sage loves to "run" from us in her crib. She will be sitting up peeking through the slats. When she sees us come in the room, she will throw herself down on the mattress and try to crawl away...all the while giggling and squealing. Of course, she cannot get very far in her crib.
