Here we go, another month flew by! Aubrey is now crawling like a pro. She learned to crawl at 9 moths and 10 days or so. Mom called grandma Julie to tell her the exciting news right away. A couple of days later, Aubrey started to try to prop herself up and stand up. Now at 10 months, she is a pro cruiser and props herself up really quick. Today she even tried to stand up for a few seconds without holding on to anything!
Aubrey quickly realized that crawling is so much fun! She chases Taco, when the dog tries to grab some of her things ( usually socks or shoes) and laughs every time, Taco runs away from her. She also just now realized how much stuff is laying around with nobody to protect it. She can crawl to Taco's food and water faster than a race car. She just started checking out the shelves with Blu-Rays and DVDs which made dad not so happy:) and "helped" mom unload ALL the spoons and forks out of the dishwasher.
She can find daddy and Taco with her eyes when asked and still does not even want to look in mom's direction when asked by dad :" Where is mom?"
At the end of the 9th month, Aubrey decided to add to her collection of teeth and started to pop out 3 top teeth one after another. She is still teething and I think, there is a 4th top tooth on the way.
Aubrey now likes to eat herself, which results in feeding her nose, cheeks, kitchen walls and carpet. So much fun and such a mess for mommy. She has tried a lot of foods and sometimes eats real food with mom and dad. Her favorite drink is soda:), as she tirelessly tries to grab a bottle of can every time she sees one:)
As for toys, she loves to clean out mommy's purse and play with car keys. She is also very affectionate towards Taco's leash. Her real toys are of little interest to her. She, however, is very interested in company. As she tried to crawl away from mommy in Children's Orchard Store to "go and talk" to a 2 year old. Mommy had to catch her and hold her while shopping. As soon as mommy put Aubrey down again, she tried to crawl to another baby in the toy section and "grab" onto her face.
