11. You drive your buzz light year bike around, but don't quite get how to turn the handles yet
12. You have gotten into a habit of changing your underwear  all day long
13. You are obsessed with your flower footie pajamas - we almost had a war last night when we were trying to leave and you only wanted to wear your footie pajamas

16. You love to wear jackets, even if it's warm outside you want to wear a jacket

18. We think you have allergies, but aren't quite sure - you are awfully snotty, coughing and sneezy all day long

30. You say hold you momma or dadda - when you really mean, hold me momma or dadda

GOODNESS Harper, you have turned into a little girl right in front of our eyes. You were taking a nap on the couch the other day with a pillow under your head and your daddy said Oh My Gosh she looks like a little girl right now!
You have been testing my patience alot lately, but I wouldn't change the way you are for anything in the world! You are truly a sweet little girl!
You still use the word Adabe - and we still have no clue what it means!

Brady is 10 months old

What you are doing at 10 months:

2. The next day you took five steps (you still prefer to crawl but have been spending more time trying to walk - 10 steps is the most you have taken so far).

8. You could play on the stairs all day long - up and down, up and down
9. We try and work with you on going down the stairs on your belly, which you understand; BUT you can't quite figure out how to get to your belly - we have to swing your body around at the top of the stairs b/c you try to go down face first initially
