10 Months

Teagan is into a lot of trouble now... Stairs are still her favorite, and her new favorite thing that is one of mommy's pet peeves is that she spits out whatever she is eating. She will keep shoveling it into her mouth but mouths it a bit and spits it out. Not sure what this phase is, but I hope it doesnt last long. She is pretty good at mimicking. She also knows what "no" means but of course doesnt always listen. She can stand on her own for a few seconds, but then when she realizes that she is doing it on her own she sits down and crabs. She is a little scared still i think. One of her favorite veggies is asparagus believe it or not. Although i am not very good at cooking them. when i do they are still crunchy on the outside stalk area. but i think if cook them much longer the top parts will get real mushy. I am up for suggestions.
One of Teagan's bad habbits is when she is tired and eating her bottle she pulls out her hair with her right hand. Not sure what this ordeal means, but she barely has any hair as it is...Teagan did get sick this month, we think she had Roseola. She had a fever for about 5 days with no other symptoms. then after the fever went away she got this faint rash on her front and back. it went away after 2 and a half days. My mom took her into the doc. on the 3rd day of her fever (we could control it with baby Tylenol but it kept coming back). But of course when she took her in she didnt have the fever at that time and was acting normal. We almost had to take her back if her fever kept up with no other symptoms to put a catheter in to get a urine sample to see if she had a bladder infection. But luckily the fever went away by sunday. When the rash showed up I called Michael (Aunt Andi's husband) who is a physicians assistant and i described everything to him and he thought it was Roseola. So i looked it up and the symptoms were exact! after the rash went away everything was back to normal and Teagan was her happy energetic self again. That was quite an ordeal.

Teagan is still in the phase of "everything goes in the mouth" but we havent had any choking hazards yet... thank goodness! Still no teeth, and not any sign of them. I guess according to my mom i was 13 months old before i got my first tooth, and not sure how old chris was. So we will be lucky to have any by her first birthday. Speaking of which, that is just around the corner and I am trying to figure out a place to have it that is inside, we just dont have the room at our house. I figure for her first party, I will have a big one and then after that it will be small.

Teagan is growing like a weed. She is in 12 month clothes now. She still wears the 9 month ones but the onsies are getting tight, she is just so long. The only problem is that she is tall and thin, so the 12 month clothes are kind of wide on her. So i am trying to stay away from one-piece outfits so the younger ones will last longer. I am assuming that she will slow her growing down soon, but who knows. I just hope she ends up taller than me, at this rate, so far so good.
