Busy Elly at 10 Months Old

Elly Joy is ten months old now.  Month nine was a BUSY month.  In the first week alone of being nine months, she started sleeping through the night (FINALLY!), sitting up really well on her own, crawling, and pulling herself up to a standing position.  Now she is on the MOVE!  Busy busy Elly.

Elly is almost always happy.  When she smiles she wrinkles her nose, which you can see in a lot of the pictures.  Pretty much the only time she fusses these days is if she falls over and bonks herself.  She has bruises on her forehead a lot right now from all of her falls as she is learning to maneuver around.  She also just started waving at people in the last week. =)
One of her favorite positions these days
Elly started waking up from her naps and standing up, then getting stuck up there.  She would cry very loudly, which is rare for her.  We have since lowered her crib mattress. =)

Elly's first mess =)
She has discovered the dishwasher.  What a little helper.

About to go swimming for the very first time
All this busyness wears a girl out!

Elly's first time in a grocery cart.  What a big girl.
