10 Months

Our little lady is just not so little anymore. I can't believe how fast this first year is going by. She is such a character. She has her own agenda. She knows what she wants to do and she goes and figures out how to do it. Lately she's taken to going off on her own to play with toys she finds in the playroom or around the house. She's particularly fond of the caps on the side of the toilet, which is disgusting, so the bathroom doors now stay firmly closed. She also has discovered the trashcans, so we're back to the stage of putting them up high. She still puts everything in her mouth, thus our continued efforts to make some of those things stay out of her reach. She learned how to go up stairs the other day so she could get up on the play set at the park with Spencer. It's slightly terrifying to try to keep up with her and her adventuring.

Genevieve is a huge fan of both Bill and I versus everyone else, but she's getting quite a bit less clingy. She still likes ladies better than men when she doesn't know them, but she's starting to interact with everyone a bit more. It's fun.

She's cruising all over the place and occasionally standing on her own for a second. She can crawl crazy fast. She used to not like to go outside because she didn't like the feel on her knees, but now she just monkey crawls on her hands and toes and goes wherever she wants.

She's still only got the two bottom teeth plus one front upper tooth that is barely in, but that doesn't stop her from eating whatever she wants. She discovered a great love for blueberries this week, as did I, funny enough.

She loves her stuffed animals, the duplo blocks, all of Spencer's books, and generally anything Spencer is doing. She's a such a cute girl and just keeps getting cuter every day.
