A Tooth at 10 Months

Stella is 10 months old today! And to help us celebrate she cut her first tooth 

(I couldn't feel it yesterday but her bottom left front tooth is definitely sticking out today!)

At 10 months old Stella is an active, happy girl. She sleeps thru the night most of the time but doesn't sleep much during the day...she is too busy having fun to sleep :)

Some of her current favorite things include:

This dog, Violet. 

Stella loves music and Violet sings to Stella and even has a couple songs about her. When we press Violet's paw and the song starts Stella gives us a big smile.

This colorful ball.

Or anything that she can hold with her little hands, Stella loves how easy she can get her fingers to hold this ball and she swings it all around once she gets a hold of it.

This NUK brush that was given to us by one of her speech therapists 

(although she doesn't always love speech therapy)

She currently loves putting anything that she can in her mouth as long as she is the one in control and this special sensory brush is one of her favorite things to rub on her gums.

We are still trying to get Stella to enjoy tummy time but she loves laying on her floor mat and she is getting very close to rolling over. Stella loves spending time with us and constantly wants us to cuddle with her, sit her up on our laps, or help her use her legs to stand tall.

It has been so great seeing Stella's feisty, fun, fearless personality form over the past 10 months and I am so thankful to be able to continue to see her develop.
