Little Annie is getting to be so much fun. Not that she wasn't fun before, but this is a good age (10 months). Some of her tricks include: clapping, waving, giving "five", saying "hi", "mama", "dada", and "nene" (okay, at least that's what we like to think that's what she's saying), putting her blankie over her face for peek-a-boo, standing supported, flipping the pages on books, and scooting the teensiest little bit--if she can grab onto our new fluffy rug. She can put blocks into our farm toy and likes opening and closing the doors on the little kitchen. Annie is great at feeding herself, and eats just about everything we put in front of her. Which often includes stuff we're not supposed to feed her but forget, like honey. (Really--what is botulism anyway?) She has two teeth, finally!
There are still a good many things she doesn't do. She doesn't crawl. Or roll over. Or pull herself up. Or sleep at night. Actually, I shouldn't say that. Since my last complaint about sleeping, Annie started sleeping for 4-5 hour blocks. It lasted about 3 nights, and now she's back to getting up every 2 hours or so. But something tells me it's going to get better soon. Just a hunch.
The especially fun part has been watching Nellie and Annie figure out what it means to be sisters. Nellie is getting better about sharing, and helping. Today I was rubbing Nellie's back and Annie started rubbing it, too. They lay in bed together and giggle. I catch them holding hands across the backseat.
Of course, there's also plenty of hair-pulling, pushing, hitting, and "NO ANNIE"s, too. I'm not really expecting that to end anytime soon!
