Ten months

10 month pictures are here!


Keillor is already bored with our photo shoot!

Squirrel!

Letting Dad know that it is not cool to take one of my blocks.

Relaxing with my pal.

What a fun month I've just completed. Highlights include: Visits from three grandparents, my baptism, and my first tooth. Dad's teeth showed up later than average so we're not surprised that mine are taking their time popping up.

I love trying new foods and I'd prefer to feed myself, if possible. Cheese, yogurt, and pasta are some of my current favorites. And of course I go nuts for Cheerios. In fact, I'll go nuts even if I hear the bag crinkle from the other room. I still like my bottle, of course, but only if I get to hold it.

No words yet, but I'm getting pretty good at communicating what I want by looking at it and willing it to move towards me. And when that doesn't work, I grunt so that Mom or Dad get the hint. Books have always been enjoyable, but did you know that there are stories inside them? I've learned this month that they're not just for chewing!

My physical therapy continues to improve. I enjoy standing with the help of an adult, I can roll every direction and I'm so close to being able to get myself up into a seated position. I'll be riding that dog of mine in no time!

Quick note: Tomorrow morning I get to start my 11th month with my first plane ride. We're heading to Minnesota for Cousin Katie's wedding! I'm sure we'll have lots of pictures to share, but I don't know when they'll get posted. Probably after we get back next Monday.

New pajamas

Thank you for my new pajamas, Aunt Judey and Uncle Chris! Mom demanded that we get a picture before I grow out of them...

Porch time

Grandma, Keillor and I like to hang out on the porch when it's nice outside...

I can't wait to visit New Jersey to see Grandpa again!

Cake

Uncle Brady? Are you going to eat all of that cake? 
If not, I think it is something I would like to try.

Grandpa and Grandma

I'm now accepting suggestions on how to get these two to move to Colorado!


And I used to wonder why my Mom hugs me so tightly. 
Looks like she learned from the experts!

Gifts

Along with my baptism on Sunday came some cards and gifts!

Here I am with Mom reading the card.

And then I got tired of reading cards and decided to let Mom finish while I had a snack.

Baptism dress

I was baptized on Sunday and Mom dressed me in a special occasion outfit...

Thank you for the new dress, Aunt Judey!

Julie's art show

We took Grandpa and Grandma and Grandma (that's two from New Jersey and one from Minnesota) to the annual Golden Fine Arts Festival yesterday. Our friend Julie was an exhibitor so it was fun to see her.

 Here's me with Peyton Manning, Joe Mauer and Grandma Lila.

 And here's Julie! 
I currently have my first tooth coming in so I'm not quite as 
smiley as normal when the camera comes out.

Cheerios

We're out of pictures to share so I thought a video may be fun. We'll have more pictures coming this weekend because three of my grandparents will be in town!

Anyhow, this clip shows a daily occurrence at our house (sometimes several times a day, actually).

I like to have Cheerios for dessert!

Girly

Mom and I keep telling Dad that he needs to learn how to dress me properly. And that includes hair accessories!

Breakfast for dinner

Uncle Brady would be proud of me. I had breakfast for dinner the other night! No bacon yet, but it was all-you-can-eat blueberry pancakes...

Toy box

Playtime!

My dog makes a wonderful backrest.

Let's see...what else is in here?

Never mind the toys, I'll just have the box!

Slip n slide

Also at Yma's pool party: A Slip-n-Slide!

 It's ok, I guess. The water is fun!

Although, I don't seem to be slipping or sliding.

Toweling off after the fun.

Next year: The big kid pool!

Goodie bag

I went to Yma's pool party a couple weekends ago and they gave us goodie bags. One of the new toys was whistle that Mom says I'm too young for. Whatever...I'll show her!

Hmmm...I think I got a defective one!

Goldfish

Dad says it's a fish, but it seems too crunchy and cheesy to be a real fish...

 Heck, I'll give anything a try.

The verdict: YUM!

Toys


Hey, you don't really need to keep putting these toys back in the bin. 
I'm just going to empty it again.

Pasta Salad

Like I mentioned in my 9 month post the other day, I do enjoy a good pasta salad!

Friday fun

Mom was at work last Friday. Dad was on a plane. But I still had a blast with Lindsey!

Playing dress up.
