Thanksgiving 2010

Last week was my first Thanksgiving! It was a great day. Daddy stayed home from work and Uncle Dylan and Aunt Lindsay came over and we cooked up a storm!! I helped by getting all the bowls out for cooking. I ate turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce (although I am not sure I like that) and I have been eating leftovers everyday since. It was very yummy!! The day after Thanksgiving Mommy & Daddy had to work and so I spent the day with Uncle Dylan and Aunt Lindsay. We swang on the swings, we went to the Butterfly Pavilion and there was much to see there. Butterflies, Bees, Fish and much more. It was a great time.

Busy Bee

My goodness I have been busy. Mommy has been packing and now there are so many new places for me to explore!! I have been crawling into cabinets, sledding on cookie sheets, baking banana bread and swinging at the park. As far as what's new - my top two teeth are coming in now and I am standing by myself for longer and longer periods of time! I am really growing up.

Play Time!!

This morning we met Aunt Lindsay and Allie and Charlie and Bailey at the children's gym. I had never been before, but I think I will go back there every day if I can. I had so much fun - there was so much to climb on and lots of other kiddos running around. It was pretty close to my new house so that will be perfect! 

Today we went over to the new house and met our future neighbors. My neighbors are two twin 13 year old girls. They have an in ground pool and said I can come swimming any day! They also look like they will be great baby sitters. They said that in the other house next door there is a woman that is 4 months pregnant with her first baby, so maybe that baby will play with me next year. I definately think that my new neighbors will be much more fun than the neighbors I have now.

In other news, I recently had my 9 month check up. I am 9 and a half months now, so we were a little late. I am 28" tall, I weigh 20lbs, and my head is 17.25". I am on the 90th% for weight, 50th% for head, and 60th% for height. I used to be in the 90th% for height, but I guess I have stopped growing up and am focusing more on growing out. My top two teeth are going to come in soon. You can see that my gums are swollen - maybe by Christmas. I hold onto things so I can stand, sometimes I let go and stand with no hands for a few seconds to show off. I can walk if I can push things I am holding onto - like a walker....but mostly I just stand or crawl or dance. I can eat any food now - berries, peanut butter, meats...everything except for milk. So I have been trying lots of new things and feeding myself with my fingers. I miss my mouth a lot and make a big mess but Lucy sits under me and cleans up what I drop. I am also sleeping through the night now. Mommy and Daddy figured out that if they would just leave me alone and stop coming in my room that I would sleep through. I tried to tell them, but they decided to try months of no sleep first. They are happy they finally figured that out.

Happy Halloween!

For Halloween I dressed up as a cute baby cow. We were supposed to go to a party with other families but I found out that I have 2 ear infections and wasn't feeling up to it so I helped hand out candy instead. We had lots of visitors! I hope next year I feel better so I can go to the dress up Halloween party and that I am big enough to go trick or treating.
