10 Months

Hayden is 10 months old!! She is just motoring around everywhere now. She really likes when we "chase" her. She will start crawling, then turn to make sure someone is coming, and then go again, laughing all the way. She absolutely loves it. She and Jordyn will play, and Jordyn will crawl and let Hayden chase her. Then when Hayden gets close Jordyn will turn on her and tickle her. A few weeks ago they were chasing eachother around Boppy and Grandma's dining table and Jordyn is much faster so Hayden figured out if she turned to go back the way she came she'd actually catch Jordyn. She did this a few times, so it was not just a fluke.
Hayden of course is cruising and pulling herself up everywhere. She is even brave enough to let go and can balance for seconds at a time. She will sometimes let go and try to turn to move away from wherever she has pulled herself up on, and also likes holding our hands to walk, though she does get frustrated and gets down to crawl.
We have started to give Hayden "real" food, too. She really wants to be eating like us. She likes bread and french fries (something we never would have done with Jordyn), but is not impressed with eggs so far. We think we see some more teeth lurking beneath the surface, but are still waiting.
