Isabel turned 10 months old yesterday!

She is now about 20 pounds, love to explore the apt, and love to laugh. I still breastfeed her a little bit in the morning and at night but mostly it's solids and formula now.

We are lucky. She is a sturdy, healthy girl. She would bump her head once in awhile and just move on without crying. I think it's because we don't freak out about it. I can tell she looks around to see our reaction in order to determine her own reaction. When we don't run to her or make it a big deal, she sometimes does not even cry. She just rubs her head a little and move on.

She is also a dare devil. Since she has never fallen, she literally just charges off the bed or the couch head and hands first. We always grab on her feet so she does not fall, but it's scary that she doesn't even hesitate. She is so strong now that she can almost charge off the queen size bed in her room to the floor without our help.

Wow, how she has grown! We are still waiting for her teeth to come in. She babble a lot now and loud, as if she is really saying something that only she understand. We try to always respond, so it seems like a conversation. it will be quite fantastic when she starts to speak words. What an amazing process to watch.
