Evelyn and Olivia: Ten Months

We are living out of suitcases right now and as a result you might notice some differences between the nice semi-professional photos we typically have and this month's photos ... no chairs (packed), no bows (in Baku), no onesies (be thankful I has any white onesies to put them in), and only my iPhone to accomplish this. I'm just surprised I actually had the blocks, stickers, and faux fur mats!

Here's your 10 month update (which I will probably add to later once I have Jason's help remembering everything!) -

- You both still only have two teeth, but act like you are teething all the time.
- Sleep is great. You go to bed on your own around 730 pm and sleep until anywhere from 630 - 730 am. You still take two naps a day and don't quite seem ready yet to transition to one.
- Liv has been a bit clingy at times, but in general both of you are really good with strangers or when I am not around.

- Both of you talk, but seem to do so at different times. In general, Evy is more easy-going throughout the day and Liv a bit more high maintenance. However in the mornings, it's swapped. Liv will happily play and hang out in the crib while Evy starts whining sooner for breakfast.
- You both love finger food and pouches and baby food. We've had to be more careful reading labels and making sure Liv doesn't have egg, but it hasn't been too bad so far.
- Shortly after Daddy came back from Baku you both began going from crawling to sitting up on your own. Now you do it constantly and it's fun to watch. I don't remember Madi ever doing that when she was little, but she really kind of skipped crawling and jumped to walking.
- Speaking of walking you both are moving left and right when you stand and will hold on with one hand and swing to look at things, but haven't taken steps yet. I did catch Liv going from one toy to another standing but both were within reach.

- Liv loves to shake her hips and bounce to music. She smiles really big and it's precious!
- Evy is happy in general and loves to laugh. She also loves to yell "Dadadadadada" at the top of her lungs.
- Liv has said "Mama" and "Baba" but no other words yet from her or any from Evy besides "Dada".
- Liv also likes to pull her foot up out of the high chair and rest it on the tray. Such a little lady. ;-)

I haven't gotten any stats for the baby books so I'll have to try and get those this week!
