Ashlyn’s #1 favorite thing to do is knock down block towers. If she sees a tower, she will find a way to get to it and destroy it. As you can see below, the mere sight of a block tower sends her into a frenzy of destructive baby fury, which can only be satiated by demolition.
In other games, she also enjoys whatever this game this is called. It’s tiring for the adult, but Ashlyn seems to get a kick out of it. We’re hoping it will help with the whole crawling thing. She’s getting better every day, but still hasn’t made that final adjustment to push her body fully off the floor.
She’s developed a few new things of note over this past month. First, her hair is filling in, which is giving her an interesting hair-do, especially after baths. Sorry for the blurry photo, the camera decided to focus on the wrong thing. She’s also learned a very strange sleeping position, which she seems to prefer over most. She’s actually sleeping in the picture below, I turned the lights on to get the picture and she didn’t budge. Strange baby.
And finally, although I don’t have any pictures to back this up, she’s started to learn how to put rings and blocks INTO her little toy bucket, instead of randomly throwing the contents OUT of the bucket onto the floor. As GJ (grandma Wolf) would say, “she’s a genius!”. Happy 10 month birthday little one, only two months to go to the big 1!
