10 Months

Meliya is now over 10 months old. She had another month where she is learning a lot. Now she can do the hand signals for "more," "milk," and "all done." She loves to do "more," even for toys and for mama. She likes to finish off the sign for "all done" with "more." It is quite confusing.

She can now pull herself to standing position, and also get down.  Holding on to the sofa or table, she can move around.

She is starting to get more clingy to mama.  Before, she didn't fuss at all when strangers held her, but now she seems to care more.  Her favorite food is now cheese and her favorite book is That's Not My Train.  Her favorite page in the book is the one that say, "That's not my train, it's funnel is too rusty."  The picture is textured so the funnel feels like a nail file.  Meliya loves touching it.  She will flip specifically to that page.

She often has a crooked smile.  Unfortunately, we haven't been able to capture it yet. She has two top teeth coming in. Here is a glimpse of them:
