Priscilla at Ten Months

We’ve entered double digits and I feel equal parts happy and nostalgic. Summer is in full swing and Priscilla is loving all the outdoor fun we have. Each time I lather her down with sunscreen I imagine how many more summers I’ll be doing that seemingly annoying, repetitive chore. Ah, the routines of motherhood!

She is still our delightful, fun, silly, and now talkative girl!

She detests | She has started yelling at the top of her lungs when were aren’t paying her attention. I think she prefers to have us totally captivated 😉

What’s new | Priscilla has more words this month. In addition to “da-da” and “duck,” she’s now saying “dog,” “ma-ma/mom,” and has said “uh oh” a few times. She most consistently says “da-da.” Clapping is also new. She will clap if you ask her to, and smiles the biggest grin. It’s quite adorable. “Mama/mom” seems to mean me, help, pay attention, and give me that. We call nursing “nanis” and she sometimes says “na-nas,” but I’m not sure if there’s a connection yet.

We traveled to New York right over the week she turned ten months. She was a great traveler and loved meeting new people, exploring, and sleeping in travel cribs. I’m so relieved she slept well while we were away from home!

She’s so close to one that I can taste it. I know it will be here before I know it. I’ve started planning her birthday party, and her first birthday shoot with my friend Mara. It all feels like a blur! I can’t believe I was at the tale end of my pregnancy a year ago.
