Well - Fiona is 10 months old!!!! She continues to grow so much and develop into a young woman with very strong opinions. We are still under a "stay at home" order due to COVID-19, although things are slowly beginning to open up.
This month was a busy time across the country as the COVID pandemic is layered on top of Black Lives Matter protests and the beginning to summer. Throughout all of this, Fiona is a trooper and growing in leaps and bounds. Her social, physical and mental development continue to proceed quickly.
Fiona is easily pulling to stand now and cruising around. She is a FAST crawler and really has strong opinions about where to go, exploring around the house, finding things to break into and smash around. She's learned to climb the stairs by herself and lives going up - though hasn't actually gotten around to figuring out how to go down safely (she mostly just falls and then we catch her). We are VERY sure she is saying "HI" now when people come in and look at her and has figured out how to give high fives. The girl LOVES to eat and plows through her vegetables as well as increasingly eating the food that we are eating as a family. She loves to have her own bowl and spoon - just like the big kids!! She is a big smiler and LOVES to stand up and bounce around.
