How Is She Ten Months Already!?

This month Leilah: 

• has cut another tooth. Now she visibly has three. The two front bottom and one front top.
• explored co-op preschool so independently. She crawls around the room with barely a care to check in with mommy. She loves watching all the other kids and parents and especially likes to pay attention to all the walkers.
• had a harder time enjoying Stroller Strides. She is entertained while we sing, but the schedule is not meshing well with her morning nap time and so she is mostly zoned out/spacing out or tired of being tied in to the stroller. She just wants to get out and move!
• had a huge sleep regression again most likely due to trying to stand, walk, teeth, and fight off/deal with another cold.
• Does fine when she wakes up and someone else is there (Dad or a babysitter) although she won't easily go back to sleep.
• Is still getting up on her knees to reach things or to get up to standing and cruising the furniture, yet she still mostly army crawls since she's so fast that way.
• Ate lots of solids. There hasn't really been anything that we've given her that she doesn't like.
• Is interacting more with Micah. He moves her around, she crawls on him and grabs at him, they laugh a lot at each other and she loves to watch him run around.
• Has grown more attached to Daddy including saying "Dada" when he walked through the door after work the other day.
• traveled alone with Mommy back to the Bay over Veterans day weekend. She met a very nice woman on the plane who let her play with all her Seahawks jewelry. She loved playing drop and chew the safety card on the plane. And she slept almost half of each plane ride there and back. Big bro Micah stayed home with Gramma and Daddy. Leilah got to visit cousins Sarah and Norah (Sarah's quote of the day was that "Norah's cousin friend came to visit her, but my cousin friend didn't come to see me and I'm sad."), visit with Great Gramma Jacquie and Uncle Benj and Aunt Beth as well as many other relatives who were in town for "Ben, Beth, & Beyond"'s baby shower.
• traveled again with Mommy and Micah to Nana & Papa's house to see relatives and friends. She is so squirmy wormy on the flight and resists sleep, but somehow finally sleeps almost half the flight (the other half feels like WAY longer than 45 minutes to Mommy!). During the trip she was teething very bad and not sleeping very well. We stayed in Twain Harte overnight and had lots of alone time with Nana while Mom, Dad, & Micah did fun things like go bowling and go with Papa to the 49er/Seahawks game. Leilah loved crawling and playing with toys in Nana and Papa's kitchen. She ate lots of Thanksgiving food at the cabin, enjoyed a warm sunny day, and even slept in the pack n play for a good long nap at the cabin with 40 people there. Leilah also may have been the youngest in our family to participate in a Columbia old time photo!
• Sometimes says Mama and Dada.
• loves holding two fingers to walk around anywhere and everywhere.
• is getting tired of being transferred from carrier to stroller to carseat and back every weekday.
