napping with daddy

I've been sick off and on over the last several weeks, and daddy has been "the baby whisperer". He has gotten me to sleep sometimes when even mommy can't. Oops. The flash woke daddy up, but not me.

mmmmmm. Mac N Cheese!!

Helping mommy put the clean dishes away.

I climbed up on the diswasher before mommy even knew it!!

Who knew a box of kleenex and an envelope could be so fun?

Crawling down the hall

I run this place now. (not like I didn't before) I am all over!! Mom and Dad have put covers on plug-in's cause I find them very interresting.

Spaghetti O's

I tried eating some spaghetti O's a couple of days ago and I love them!! MMMMMMMMM spaghetti O's

My 9 month doctor appointment

Yesterday I went to see the doctor for my 9 month doctor apointment. A little late since I am nearly 10 mo. old. I am now 17 lbs. 2 oz (20th percentile), I am 27.25" tall/long (28th percentile), and my head is 17.25" (65th perctile). I didn't have to have any shots, but they did prick my finger and test my hemoglobin. Turns out it is all good. But when the doctor looked into my ears, she said I had an ear infection in my right ear. I haven't been crabby or pulling at my ears or anything, so mommy and daddy were surprised. Anyway, I have to take this bubble gum flavored amoxicillin every morning and night for the next 10 days. Then I have to go back to the doctor and she will check to make sure it went away.

Crawling on all 4's

My first tooth!!!!!

On 1/30/10 mommy felt around in my mouth to see if I had gotten any teeth, and there was one!!! A little tooth barely poking out on the bottom right. My very first tooth!!! I'm a big girl now!!!

A Tea Party

I got my stuffed animals and Dexter together and we had a little tea party!! Hey guys . . . lets dive right into this dessert. These brownies are delicious!! There aren't enough cups to go around for everyone, so teddy and I just drink straight from the tea pot. This tea is yummy!!

Watch me walk!!

I'm a little climber

I've been making mommy and daddy nervous 'cause I like to climb up and stand on the seat of my chair. :)

Our White Christmas

It was a good thing that we were planning to stay home for Christmas because we got over 19 inches of snow over 2 days. Here is a picture of Daddy snow blowing the sidewalk in front of our house. Here is a picture of Daddy snow blowing the driveway. Daddy wanted a picture of me out in the snow, so I put my snow suit on and went outside. The wind was blowing in my face and I was getting crabby, so mommy saved me and took me back inside. And here is daddy snow blowing again after the snow plow came.

Two major milestones

On December 24th I started sitting up on my own after crawling. Mommy made a big deal out of it - clapping and cheering - she was really funny. I've been doing it over and over and over now. I'm a pro after only doing it for a couple of days now. On December 26th I pulled myself up for the first time. Here is a picture of me after pulling myself up. My legs are a little wobbly!!
