Rose is 10 months old!

Rose is 10 months old-- double digits, which feels closer to 12 months than ever.  She's more and more like a toddler and less and less like a baby every day.
I'm not attempting her size stats this month as our at-home measuring techniques have proven too off-kilter in the past, but here are some updates.
Recent Accomplishments:  Rose pulls herself up to standing with ease using furniture or pant legs. She cruises ("walks" holding onto the furniture), but is not ready to stand or walk by herself (and we're in no hurry!).  She crawls very quickly, up properly on all fours.  She now waves for "hi" and "bye" or when she feels like it.  She waved today when the cat came into the room.
Favorite Activities:  Rose is mischevious and destructive, in good baby fashion.  She loves to pull out the contents of bags and shelves left unattended. 
Teeth galore: Rose has 2 top teeth now, in addition to her 2 bottom teeth.  They're the lateral incisors though, not the center incisors (I had to wikipedia that).  To save her from the "fangs" look though, it appears her center top teeth are close to emerging, though they have not yet broken through the gums.
Other:  She has successfully night-weaned and is sleeping 11 hours at night without waking up Mom and Dad!  (Thank you Sleepeasy Solution!)  Rose is also adjusting well to her new nanny and is working on her Mandarin.
