10 months

Here are a few quick photos for y'all... The little spaghetti face is from a couple weeks ago, but I just realized I never put it up here... it cracks me up every time :)

Waking up from her nap - on her 10 MONTH BIRTHDAY!!!! Holy smokes! I'm not sure how we've already reached this point... Do I start planning a birthday party now??

Tall girl pulling up in the crib.

Giggling at the camera.

Sitting in the glider - and not looking too happy about it.... But see below - there IS proof that she does, to some extent, resemble me as well as Nick! Note the whispy hair on the sides! :)

Me - probably pretty close to the same age.

And finally - our little dare devil sporting her bruises... She is now climbing up on EVERYTHING and that also means FALLING on everything! But she's a champ! She only cried when she knocked the tray on her head and when she fell on the table... The mark on the eyebrow - no idea where that came from. She doesn't let us know, generally. She just giggles about it and goes on her way. I'm sensing a Cody, Jr. in the bravery department!!! :)

yayayaya

New trick... Little indian girl :)

Baby Cakes

Here are a couple pics from this weekend for you... Our little lady is learning a little too much for her own good! She's pulling herself up on everything and walking along things... and getting in to EVERYTHING!

Pulling up on the dinner tray - peeking over. Yes, this means she's getting way too tall...

Pulling up on Nick's tray to see what he's eating... then trying to grab his pizza! :)

Pulling up on the gate - trying to get past the gate to get to the dog food on the other side - thus the reason the gate is up in the first place!

Standing up against the couch in her cute new shoes from the Renaissance Festival - they are called "Medieval Moccasins"

Look at my new shoes!!!

That's if for pictures... As for other stuff - we had layoffs at work Friday... Luckily, I did not get laid off, but I was about to wet myself when I realized what was going on!!! Hopefully no more layoffs happen. I'm so not in the mood to go find a new job!

And on a better note - I think that we finally have these fleas under control... Hopefully! The vet gave us some tablets to kill the live fleas on these two and a different kind of monthly application to try.

Hope this week goes better. :)

Puppy Love

Belle has learned how to pull herself up and walk along thing... Yes, folks... She's on her way to walking!!! I am SO not ready for this! Her new favorite thing is pulling up on the couch and playing with the dogs' feet. Here she is playing with Jake tonight. Notice how he tries to get her off the couch by licking her hands. :) They are so cute. They love each other!

Clapping

Finally worked!!! Sorry - been fighting this stupid thing trying to upload this video for an hour...

Here is Belle the day she learned how to clap. This video cracks me up. I'm still not sure what happened at the end, but it's hilarious!

Enjoy!

new things

Belle got another tooth today! It FINALLY broke through! It's been bugging her since we were on vacation... and she has another one that will probably pop through any day now. Also, she learned how to CLAP thursday!!! It's SO CUTE! I have a little video of it that I will post sometime this weekend. I don't have my camera with me right now. :) And the least favorite of my new things... Belle now thinks it's a great idea to roll away as soon as the diaper gets opened up for a change... poop on the butt or not. She's just outta here! No more sitting still for this little girl!!! :)

Alright. That's it. I'm going to bed. :) Goodnight.

Enjoy your long weekend!
