Hattie is 10 Months


Hattie Jeanne is such a joy at 10 months old!
  • She pulls herself up to standing on anything she can get her hands on.
  • She crawls all over the place.
  • Hattie is also cruising along our couches, coffee table, etc. She can also stand on her own for a few seconds at a time.
  • She is slightly obsessed with her Mama! She will crawl to me and tap on my legs to be lifted up. She also has separation anxiety and is uneasy around people she isn't familiar with. She still enjoys Jessica & Lucy at Dragontots.
  • She says "Uh oh", "Mama", and "Ni-Ni". She can also nod yes and shake her head no.
  • Hattie can clap her hands and loves to play pat a cake and "so big!" It's also been reported to us that she can blow kisses.
  • She likes to play with Emmett's play food including chewing on the bologna, lettuce and burger patties. Our remote control is another favorite "toy".
  • Hattie enjoys playing with Emmett and they like to chase each other around.
  • She gets very excited when reading books and likes to hit, grab and try to chew on them.
  • She is now eating all finger foods - no more baby food. She still drinks her milk/nurses about 5 times per day. She enjoys eating just about everything. One of her favorites are Gerber "lil crunchies".
  • Hattie now has 4 teeth. For the longest time we have been wondering where her 4th tooth was as she has had 3 bottom teeth only since October 16th. Her 4th bottom tooth (lower left) finally popped through on December 4th.
  • She likes to grab our faces and glasses. We have noticed she is quite touchy. She tries to touch Emmett's hair, especially when they are in the bathtub!
  • Hattie is a little dancer. She likes it when we sing to her or when music is playing. One of her favorite toys is a toy Emmett loved as well - the Fisher Price Musical Walker.
  • She can walk with the wagon but we haven't practiced as much as we probably should.
  • We think she will be very close to walking soon - probably around a year old.
Hattie is a great little girl. She is more vocal and opinionated these days. She is becoming so independent. Looking back it feels like she wasn't even a baby for very long! We are really enjoying this age - especially seeing them start to play together and enjoy spending time with each other.
