10 Months Old and SO BIG!!!

 Presley has gotten SO BIG, and by so big, we mean SO BIG!!!


Here is a recap of all the things she has done, and can do since the beginning of  2014.

Aside from learning to show us "how big" she is, Presley learned to clap, and loves to show us every chance she can.

 
Presley took her first real swim at Lifetime shortly after the new year.  She loved playing in the water fountains, but was not too thrilled when dunked underneath.


After her 10 month Doctor visit Mom was shocked to discover how big Presley really had grown.  She is now in the 96th percentile for height and the 50th for weight- I wasn't that big until at least 18months old; she's a tank!


Since she has become so stable sitting up that Mom let's her try all sorts of fun things, like riding in our pickup truck,


and playing the piano (although, as you will see, Mom gets nervous when she leans a little too far back):


 She is also able to play outside more often.  She loves playing on the trampolines, 


(Mom says it's the best playpen ever!!!)


 swinging on her tree swing,




and going down her own slide.



At the start of January, Presley was trying with all her might to figure out how to get across the room.  She would get SO frustrated sitting in a room full of stuff (like mine and Macie's where junk is EVERYWHERE), unable to reach it.


 By the middle of January, using her desire to get into things as encouragement, Presley began crawling.  At first she would get SO frustrated:


After a few days she had it down, and has not stopped moving sine.  Poor Eddie is the one most put out by her new skill.


Presley has also enjoyed going on outings with Macie and I.  She really enjoys the Children's Museum because there are designated areas for people just her size!



Presley is growing leaps and bounds, and we are all SO proud of our baby sister!!!  Lots of things are happening in February, so I will make sure Mom takes lots of pics so that I can share them all with you.
