A serious business!

Being 10 months old is a serious business and not to be  taken lightly!  Actually Stella-Rose is 10 months and 1 day, but I did not see her yesterday to take photos to mark the occasion.
Although she does look serious and reflective here, she did spend much of her day with us laughing and smiling.  She can put objects into her play cups as well as take them out and she has learned to throw things a fair old way because it is so much fun watching the grown ups retrieve them.  She is on the verge of crawling and can take steps if held carefully.  Also in her repertoire are clapping, waving, dancing (seated) and saying 'hi', although daughter #1 and I are certain that she said 'hello' today.  All in all an impressive list of achievements for 10 months!
