Almost 10 months

She's mastered crawling and can not be stopped. Francesca and Tilly Rose went to Santa Cruz for a weekend to visit friends, and when they came back she was able to scoot all over. Now we really can't leave her alone because she's like a little roomba, always picking up crumbs and putting them in her mouth. She has a special fondness for paper. She also insists on getting down wherever we go, if we are standing still she starts trying to squirm down to the ground. We have been going outside after dinner to garden, I usually hold onto Rose and we sit in the grass, when she gets tired of me blocking the little pieces of grass from her hands going into her mouth, she lunges forwards and puts her whole face in to get a big bite. She's been cutting teeth again, and is fussy many times throughout the night. She really likes crawling over to the bookshelf and emptying it. For some reason she has been hissing for the past couple of weeks. Hsssss. Now that she can crawl, she is working on pulling up and getting to her feet often. Oliver has been practicing his whistling and when they were in the car she was carefully watching him, then she started hissing and pursing her lips trying to figure it out. She is very interested in mimicking us. Francesca is pretty sure she says "Hi" when you say hi to her, and of course she does the "how big is baby Tilly?". I feel like when I hang out with her and she wants to have a conversation with me she rubs the back of her hand on her mouth to get the wawawa babble sound, so of course I do it back to her. And she waves if you wave to her. Swinging is still fun, and she still likes to play with the silk although we don't use it as much because she's rarely laying down. She's really liking food, wants to try it all and is pretty into it. When Francesca cooks Tilly Rose often is clearing the refrigerator magnets off, or if not watched closely, dumping over the cats' water.
