My how time flies

Our baby girl was 10 months old yesterday. She has changed so much in the last month and I see glimpses of the toddler she is becoming. She can now pull herself up to stand and, in order to get what she wants, she walk around the furniture. She still has only her two bottom teeth but that doesn't stop her from eating everything in front of her. She loves to eat and her favorite food seems to be cheese since she grins with delight when we give it to her. When she is well-rested she is such a happy girl and she loves to play with her brother (who is so good to her and will even share his favorite foods and blanket with her). Her sleeping habits have significantly improved and she has been waking up just once or twice a night. She even let us sleep through the night on Sunday, although that might have been due to the cold she is fighting. It's amazing how happy we all are when we get a full night of sleep! She is a chatter box and she has a mind of her own. When she doesn't get her way we hear her baby cursing from anywhere in the house! I hope time slows down so we can enjoy the last two months of her babyhood.

Eating pasta for the first time..What a mess for mommy!












Bathtime with Jack

First day of preschool

Jack started his first day of preschool today. I tried to get some good pictures of him this morning before we left but he was so excited to go that he couldn't stand still (which explains the blurry picture). The kids bring their lunches from home so Jack and I packed his last night. I made sure that he could open all the ziplock sacks to get his food out and showed him that there was also a spoon for him to use when he ate his pears. When I was cleaning out his lunch box tonight I noticed that his plastic spoon was still there but his canned pears weren't. He said that he didn't use the spoon because "the inside of his lunch box was so dark he couldn't see it". I laughed so hard. Jack's teachers for the year are Miss Mary and Miss Jennie. When I picked him up they told me that he has the best manners of any child in the class and used please, thank you, your welcome and even excuse me. I guess our hounding him all summer to use his manners finally is paying off. He's growing up so quickly.
