Parker - 10 Months Old

Parker had her 10 month birthday on Friday!  She is getting closer and closer to walking and we are guessing that she will officially a walker by 11 months.   (Please reference previous post and walker videos) Parker is making more and more sounds, ma, na and ba, but really just likes to be as loud as possible, as evidenced in this video. 

She also started saying what we all think is "Hi".  I realize now that I say Hi to Parker all the time, so it would make sense that she picked that up.  Greg says "Hola" to her and we swear she said it back once.

Parker is still a wonderful eater.  She will literally eat anything we give her.  We consolidated bottles so she just has four a day now.  This is her current eating schedule:

6:30 am - 7oz bottle
8:00 am - breakfast 
11:00 am - 7 oz bottle
noon - lunch
3:00 pm - 7 oz bottle
4:30 pm snack
6:00 pm - dinner
7:30 pm - 7 oz bottle

We have tried to teach her sign language for "more" and while she doesn't do it correctly, she does have her own version. 

Parker now has a fifth tooth, so three on top.  Her front two teeth have a pretty good space between them, so when she flashes a big grin she looks very toothy.  We started brushing her teeth this month and she really likes it.  She seems to take it very seriously and holds her mouth open well the whole time.  

This month we used the baby pool in the backyard for the first time. Parker was in heaven and Otis was jealous.

Parker had her first taste of cookie dough a couple weeks ago.  Probably not something I should be giving to a 9 month-old, but it sure was fun to watch.

And finally, here is a good video of Parker laughing at Otis after Daddy got him all riled up:
