10 months old Part 1

Neve's first word was "monkey". Since then, she has also been saying "mom, dad, and panda". Not to mention, everyday she has a new made up word or syllable. Needless to say, she is a non-stop chatter box.

She gets around quite well now using the furniture and sometimes even lets go altogether before she realizes she isn't being supported.

Mom and dad have also been teaching here a few other tricks --clapping her hands, wiggling to music, high-fiveing, riding on dad's shoulders, doing the hand motions to Twinkle, Twinkle and raising both hands high up in the the air when she is asked, "How big is Neve?"

She has been an amazing "climbing baby". Neve watches mom and dad climb those crazy cliffs as she plays in her pak-n-play. But her favorite part of climbing is when she gets to play in the dirt with the rocks and sticks. Unfortunately, the mosquitoes have also figured out how sweet she is.

10 months old Part 2

Months 8 and 9

Neve started crawling during her 8th month, and today, at the end of her 9th month, she is walking with the help of the furniture.

At her 9 month check-up, she weighed a couple of ounces over 15 pounds, and she was 27 inches long. She is a tiny, little girl who still fits in her 3 to 6 month clothes.

She kisses every bear she sees and herself in the mirror. She likes to babble constantly but no real words in context yet.

She loves new places and people and is always excited for mom and dad to go out so she can play with someone new.
