10 Months and then some...

Books have a whole new meaning now. Sometime used to keep occupied during diaper changes. Sometimes for reading with Mommy and Daddy, laughing and helping turn the page. Sometimes you just sit in the floor of you room pulling books off the shelves and looking at them. Flap books are your favorite, but we do this carefully to keep from messing them up.

10 months... the funnest yet! Daycare obviously thinks so too because yesterday they had played beauty salon with your hair. Really thought you would play with it - but didn't mess with it at all. And looked pretty darn cute I do say.
Daddy had to pick up from daycare yesterday and Mommy today due to upset tummy. You were loving playing and crawling all over the bear - until you blessed his head... He'll never be the same again. You seem to be sick a lot - Mommy's gonna have to be a lot more careful about what germs she brings home to baby obviously.
And Daddy is the one who matched these pants. Waving bye bye... even do it on cue. And seem to know when to do it. Or when you are ready to go to bye bye. Mommy picked you up early today, and you automatically started waving. Sometimes its a rotation at the wrist thing. Or backward waving at yourself. Or a combo of both at the same time with each hand.
Sweet girl. Tickatickaticka. Doggadoggadogga.
Sick and cuddly --- but still counts as cuddly.



We like talking to Daddy on the phone - or just like phones in general. Remotes are still the favorite, however.
This is how we drank out of the bottle at Memma and Pop's one night. Too tired to hold up the hand...
And usually we drink the bottle funny anyways preferring to hold at the end instead of around the bottle like normal babies. Very good at just sitting in the highchair and feeding yourself with your bottle. Makes it much easier for Mommy to eat breakfast. You eat breakfast with all the kids at daycare a little later. Which means only one meal a day with us.

Falling off the couch more. Sometimes manage to gracefully get yourself off - head or tails first. No preference. Don't like the falling though. Find it very fun to explore the end of the couch and play on the pillows.

Messy this day...

Pretty New Dress for Church











1st Thanksgiving

We travelled to WF for the long weekend with the family. Paul and Lacey came over to say hi - they like her... I can tell :)
Reading magazines with Memma
Paulie gave in!




First Thanksgiving in WF at the farm with Aunt Bobbie's family - Cousins Drew and Haley liked playing with the baby. Some of them had never met her! Nolan and Tonya liked her so much they volunteered to babysit so Mommy could go to a movie - thanks again!
We didn't want to eat any Thanksgiving food - so much for our first turkey meal!
Stressful... does she look like a Grecian?


Nell and Nolan made the blog!
Nin came over for leftovers and baby time. And for some reason the tongue decided to come back out over Thanksgiving...


Fun with everyday objects --- the plastic cup
Aunt Bobbie loves baby!



Petting Zoo

In WF for Thanksgiving, we made a trip to a free little petting zoo. Hoping Meghan would like it since she loves the animal pictures in her picture book. And making the noises! Looks at the pages, points, and wants to know what they are.
Kisses from Daddy
Petting the llama and baby goats - aren't they cute!



Can you see me peeking around my hood to look at the camel?
