How many fingers? TEN!

My baby girl is 10 months, as of yesterday. She is so entertaining, and this month she has grown up so much. She's seriously adorable. Calista loves to "read" books, and will help you out by turning the pages... occasionally too often, but it's still hilarious.

So, this month in pictures, starting with the oldest. 

Kyler and I made her a little chair.

Probably not the most comfortable of places, but she seemed to enjoy it.

Sometimes, we are tired...

When that happens, Dad is more than happy to just relax with the Babe.

Dad is also more than happy to put Calista over his shoulder.

What a a cute sack o' potatoes!

I found a toy of mine, and Calista absolutely loves it... probably because it's the most annoying toy I own.

But, hey, she's learning to play saxophone early!

She has also discovered my, uh, sister's old Koosh ball (sorry for stealing it however long ago, Loradona...!)

and she loves this, too.

Calista is fitting some 12 month clothes, which means she had new outfits:

Like this one. Black and pink is very cool, right? Especially with monkey ballerinas.

Weather has been pretty good lately, so we've been going outside to play.

She looks thrilled, does she not?

How pensive.

Happy girl!

Our tulips came up, so I took her out to look at them.

And touch them, of course.

One of Calista's favorite things... the mirror!

She makes out with herself?

High five!

Calista is, of course, still a pacifier addict. Someday we'll take it away, but until then, look how excited she is to have one!

Or, wait, two. One in the month, and one blurry in her hand.

She is very helpful...

Or at least happy to be in the laundry basket.

A while back, she fell a little and scrapped/bruised her cheek on her bookshelf. It was sad, but she's a trooper.

I wanted to get a picture, and so she posed for me?

More outside pictures!

She found a dandelion.

Pretty flower.

Yummy flower! I took it away from her at this point (after I took the picture).

And, so, today,

Happy

ten

months!
