The jump from 9 to 10 months was filled with lots of new skills and unfortunately lots of colds/tummy bugs! It's been a bit of a fussy/clingy month here, but also a fun month of learning. Isla can now point, wave bye-bye, walk everywhere holding onto furniture with one hand or your one hand (she does not want to hold both hands!). She can stand for a long time on her own but has only taken 1-2 small steps before going back to crawling which is faster and much less scary. :)
One other new thing is that Isla is climbing things now. It's scary, because she can get onto a lot of things (the stairs, kids' bathroom stool, kids' airplane chair, mini trampoline) but not off of anything. So you have to be ready to help/catch her or she's going down. And being the sensitive baby she is, falls are VERY dramatic.
Not much else has changed though... She's still doing two naps (1st one is short, like 30 minutes; 2nd one is 1.5-2 hrs), nursing 1-3 times at night, and dabbling with solid foods. She continues to not have much patience for her high chair. She is great at using a sippy cup. She's still doing really well going to the nursery at church which has been such a nice change from a few months ago.
Some days with Isla are tiring if she's not feeling great and is more clingy/whiny, but she sure is a cute, smart, and sweet baby too! We try to get out and about at least once a day because she get bored easily at home. I keep saying it, but it will be SO NICE when spring comes and we can be outside all of the time again. The big kids just adore Isla and love entertaining her and helping with her. She doesn't always have the patience for them to hold/hug her, but someday I know she will be following them all around.
