ten months

Baby!  You're not a baby anymore!



You sure have become mobile and active this month.  You crawl everywhere; one leg with a foot on the floor, the other tucked in at the knee - you sure are funny.

You love being around your family and your eyes light up watching everyone interact.  You scream to be noticed, love a good laugh, and are a sucker for a goodnight wave goodbye.

We adore you.

Here's what's new this month:

  • Your two naps are getting shorter, and call me crazy, but I'm looking forward to getting down to a single nap a day
  • You think toilets are water tables, so bathroom doors are always shut (You're also a sucker for a good toilet paper roll!)
  • You're crawling up stairs, but I've only let you get 2-3 steps up
  • You're pulling up on everything and have started letting go for a second...walking is in our near future
  • You're walking with Jonny Walker (push toy).  It's only a few steps on the carpet, but you're learning the mechanics
  • You're a huge fan of splashing in the bath and pool
  • You're still wearing lots of 9 month clothes, but 12 month clothing fits too
  • You love squeeze packs if I'm willing to deal with the mess, but finger foods are still your favorite
  • You love your water sippy and dropping it from your highchair gets you giggling with delight
  • George is probably the coolest guy you know.  You study him with such concentration  :)

Two months until the big first birthday!  

We love you so much, Baby.

Minnie

I knew this would be a hard post to write, so I've been putting it off. On Monday morning, we said goodbye to Minnie. After months of weight loss I brought her into the vet early this week.    I had been noticing the weight loss, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I started to see how skinny and malnourished she was getting. The vet determined she was suffering from late-stage hyperthyroidism and her kidneys were shutting down.  It was a painful assessment; why I didn't notice it earlier and help her?  That thought still haunts me. But at 11am on Monday morning, through a mountain of tears, regret, and sorrow, I bid farewell to the most loyal friend I've ever known. Minnie,  You were the first piece to my "own" family.  I remember vividly the day I got you.  It was my 21st birthday and Rebecca and Steph came over bearing a gift (more specifically, a brown grocery bag).  I opened it and looked inside; there you were,...

Lake Wenatchee

Happy Birthday, Kevin! We spent an awesome 4 days on Lake Wenatchee this past weekend; relaxing by the lake, (attempting) to fish, playing in the water, and enjoying quality time together as a family.  Our parents joined us on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Kevin's birthday; a wonderful day full of family, food, and the great outdoors. Weekend highlights include Fish Lake on Friday (Abigail and i will not be invited back for the next fishing adventure...we may have mangled the line more than once), a trip into Leavenworth for pizza and dancing at the gazebo, a steak feast for Kevin's birthday, and relaxing by the bonfire that evening. Here are some pictures of our trip. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle While Kevin fished, Abigail and I fed Parmesan garlic pita chips to the ducks. At one point, we had a crowd of 10! Ladies of leisure on the lake  :) This sums up our fishing experience... Thursday evening f...
