10 months

dahlia is 10 months old. wow. time is just flying by. she has been learning all sorts of new tricks. she can now wave hello/goodbye. she has stood for a few seconds without holding on to anything. this has only happened a few times. she clearly says mama to me and dada to miles. she crawls with great speed all over the house and has learned how to go up and down the two steps leading into our living room and guest room. hurray. she is learning so much. she now has four teeth. two on top and two on the bottom. so cute. she is using them too. she has decided she does not like baby food. we now give her solid fruit and vegetables. no mush for this girl. she likes to feed herself. she weighs 18.5 pounds.

mason has been so cute with her. he is always giving her hugs and kisses. he alternates calling her dahlia, pumpkin, and baby. she adores him. it is nice to see them interacting more. he likes to chase her around, crawling after her. they had so much fun this morning playing on the swingset.
