10 Months Old

We had a huge celebration on Mackenzie's 10 month birthday-we celebrated the 4th of July and Gram's birthday! And the older Mack gets, the more and more she is learning and absorbing.

Some fun facts at 10 months old:
*stood on her own for the first time at Gram's on July 8th (Gram's actual birthday), Mack was leaning on my knees while I was sitting on the floor and she leaned back and just stood there for about 5 seconds. She's done it since then, but now she gets excited, flaps her arms, and falls down!
*can go from standing or kneeling to sitting. I absolutely love looking at her when she sits on her knees so cute and makes me realize how big she's getting.
*starting to get really attached to mommy and daddy and that's fine with us!
*has started "talking" more to us. She's started this "ugh, ugh" or "ah, ah, ah" noise when she wants something. This mostly comes out at meal time, but she's done it when we put her in her pack n' play or when she wants out of something
*upped her bottle per ounce intake. She was only able to tolerate 6 oz per feeding, but since we've reduced her bottles to 3 a day now, she's up to 8 oz.
*has learned to feed the dogs! When she's done eating, she simply drops whatever she has over the edge of her highchair and laughs when the dogs eat whatever it was.
*can crawl up the stairs now. Thankfully, we don't have stairs in our house, but Aunt Kari and Uncle Mike do and she surprised us all by knowing exactly what to do when she reached them.
