What's It Like To Be 10 Months Old?

I don't like being away from you.

I crawl upstairs and downstairs but always need your help to do

it safely.

I pull myself up to stand if there is sturdy furniture to hold on to.

I sit down from a standing position with balance and self-control.

I point to parts of my body when you ask me where they are.

I say "no" and shake my head from side to side.

I know when you are happy or unhappy with what I do.

I like to imitate people, gestures and sounds.

I practice saying words. Sometimes you can understand what I'm saying.

I have favorite toys that give me comfort when I'm upset.

I'm afraid of some loud noises, like thunder and the vacuum cleaner.

I like to do things by myself but need you to stay close to me in case

I need help.

I have some teeth and need help cleaning them.

I fuss when I'm tired. Sometimes it's hard for me to fall asleep.

I rely on you to understand what my different cries and sounds mean.

I like trying new foods that I can feed myself.
