Anna at 10 Months

Information about Anna:
-Tooth count= still just two
-She is transitioning to two naps per day (from three).
-When Anna is upset about something, she now shakes her head "no" repeatedly as she cries... "No, i don't want to eat, no I don't want my face wiped, no I don't want to take a nap".  We didn't teach her that shaking your head "no" means " no"... I'm pretty sure this is in-born.
-Anna is now arching her back and flailing herself backwards when she is mad (beginnings of tantrums, maybe?).  This has resulted in her accidently hitting her head on different objects, and almost getting dropped a few times
-She's crawling!  She woke up one morning, 4 days after she turned 10 months old, and took off crawling!  It's a whole new world to her now :)
-Anna is occasionally pulling herself up to standing.
-Anna loves her outdoor swing.
-Anna loves going to the pool-- she'll splash around, float on her back with help, and wear herself out!
-Anna now enjoys being read to... This is basically the only time when she will consistently sit very still, and not say anything.
-We have started giving her table food to feed herself, and she's loving it.... Some of her current favorites are pasta with red sauce and bread.  This has allowed Ryan and I to get to eat a more relaxed dinner, as Anna is now keeping herself very busy :)
-Anna is getting really good at drinking from a straw.  Although, you want to get her her own drink (don't share), because she back-washes :)



Anna is tired after an hour of swimming.
