Lots of new things

Dear Grace,
You are doing so many new things these days!  It is so fun to see what you are learning to do.  A few days ago you waved "bye bye" for the first time!  You now do it pretty consistently.  It is so cute!  The other day I dropped you off at daycare and said "bye bye" and you just kind of flicked your hand at me like you were saying, "fine I'll do it, Mom, but I don't have to like it!"  A couple weeks ago you figured out how to get yourself from laying down to sitting up.  I looked at you and you were on your tummy on the floor and then I looked again and you were sitting up!  Then a couple days later I actually saw you do it yourself.  Now you are a pro and doing it all the time!  I think you are also figuring out how to do "so big!"  This morning you did it a couple times.  It is very fun! 
You still scoot around to get places.  You scooted all the way across the dining room floor the other day.  You are quite fast!  You scooted across the bathroom floor to the door stop thing and had a great time flicking it!  Of course you shut the door first so that you could get at it better.  =)  Here's a video of it:

You also found the shades by the patio door a few days ago.  I was doing something in the kitchen and didn't see you at first.  Then I realized that you had scooted over there, sat yourself up and you were playing with the shades.  I got a video of that, too:


You are very close to pulling yourself up to stand, too.  You are definitely thinking about it and trying.  It won't be long!  It is so fun to watch you grow and develop.  I can't believe you will be 10 months old tomorrow already!  Time sure flies!  I love you, sweet girl!! 
Love,
Mommy
