She's mobile now! Diana @10 months old...

Diana spent her 10 month old birthday at the Magic Kingdom this past Sunday and she had the time of her life! Now that the craziness of our Disney weekend has settled down and the many loads of laundry have been done (thanks to my Grandma Sally!) and we've caught up on (some) sleep, I've started to think about all the new things Diana has done just since the 9 month mark - they really change and grow fast!

The biggie is that she took her first consecutive steps last week - 7 to be exact! It started a few weeks ago with a quick one-two step and then a plop down - it didn't take long for everything to click and she's now taken up to 12 steps in a row - so cool! Unfortunately, this also means getting into a LOT more things and ongoing baby proofing and chasing by mom & dad!


Di also now has four teeth - two on the bottom and the two on the top just sprouted up. She looks so cute with two front top teeth when she gives us that big smile.

Right after she turned 9 months, she also said her 3rd word - DUCK! Over and over she says "duck, duck, duck!" when she sees the ducks out by our lake or in her "Old MacDonald" book.

I say every age with Diana is the most fun but I really do think these next few months leading up to her first birthday are going to be full of exciting adventures! Almost every day brings new things and a growing awareness of the world around her. This little person is evolving right before our eyes! We've got to get our running shoes on to keep up with her in month 11!
