Isabelle’s now 10months older…is her growth rate slowing down, maybe because she’s full of energy and unfortunately sick today…got a fever of 39.5 Celcius more or less, so, that scares me a bit, another first time! My suspect is teething because she’s having a loose bowel movement, too, plus she’s rubbing her gums like no tomorrows and wanted to bite everything and everyone, loving her teether toys, too!

She is on-the-go now now, love to explore everything than sit still in the high chair. Like any good explorer, she’s determined to reach previously uncharted territory by climbing—is her hobby now, climbing up but the ability to climb back down wasn’t in her yet…so, need to be alert with her movements too, sometimes things happen so fast!

Last month, I mentioned that she already understand NO, and this month, I feel like she’s testing our limits by defying it—not always obey it, but she always giving us a smile. Respond to a one-step commands with gestures like “Come here”…memory improves and fears begin to multiply, for example when K’s sneeze, she got scared now!

She can now stand holding me or daddy or anything…sometimes pulling our hair, when we are in bed just for her to stand…say “dada” and “mama” discriminately and other word like “tiger.” We can now play ball by rolling it back and forth. She can pick up a tiny object neatly with tips of thumb and forefinger…

But the most new one that I like is when she’s putting her head in her shoulder then will smile…so cute!!!

Isabelle’s reaching many milestones in her life as a baby in her own developmental time line, we’re not pushing her to do things faster and we’re enjoying being with her everyday because I know sooner or later she will be a big girl because time really flies so fast…it’s just so great having a baby around. I thank God everyday being with her!

Happy 10months baby…2 more months and you’ll be a year older…can’t wait! We love you..*hugs*
