Aerya at Ten Months

Aerya is walking like crazy now, and since we bought her first pair of runners, she’s doing exactly that. Sometimes her feet move faster than the rest of her though and she takes a tumble. However, she usually just laughs it off and crawls back up again for another round.

Aerya makes the sign for milk when she wants to nurse and tells us she’s done eating when she shakes her head while holding her hands in front of her face to stop the spoon. While she will eat baby food, she much prefers big people food and actually eats whatever we’re having. She loves all finger foods, especially fruit and cheese. She has gotten two more teeth on the top this month which help to chomp through her snacks.

We’re still swimming and Aerya is really enjoying it. She splashes around and kicks her legs to propel her boat around the pool. She’s exhibiting a bit of separation anxiety and cries whenever I park her to swim lengths on my own. She’ll stop as soon as I’m within two strokes of her boat again so I tend to keep her close by.

Aerya does this really cute thing where she’ll lay down on the floor and cuddle a pillow, we then say Ahh, and she’ll smile. Then she springs back up and then down again, followed by another Ahh, another smile and so on. She also shakes her head back and forth like crazy and laughs. It’s really silly, but super cute to watch. And if she does it when she’s standing, her whole body shakes!
