Standing Up

Yes, you heard right, I now know how to pull myself up into standing position. My parents thought they had babyproofed for my crawling....hah! There is very little that is not within my reach anymore.Learning how to stand is now my new favorite activity. How quickly crawling has become "ho hum" for me. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to get back down once I'm standing so I cry and cry until someone comes help me OR I just let go and fall straight back. I'm pretty sure Daddy has already had a heart attack or 2!

I'm also starting to fight my naps at daycare. Time will tell if it is time for me to transition to 1 nap, or if I am just going through a phase. There are 2 other kids there (Matthew & Devin) who are my age and we're just having too much fun crawling around to take the time to have a nap.

I've also mastered the sippy cup. I'm not sure why Mommy was so surprised. She gave it to me at every meal, of course I was going to figure it out! I still have formula in my bottles, but I get water at meals to wash down the baby food I refuse to give up. I am still not convinced I need adult food in my life.

Enjoy the pics and videos

A distant relative of Rudolph perhaps?
This morning was the first time I greeted Mommy by standing in my crib
Do you need a tissue?

10 Months & A Crawling Fool

Yup, I'm another month older! It has been so exciting to learn how to crawl. I now spend all of my free time zooming around the house. I especially like to go back and forth from the office to the den. It is amazing how fast I can get all of my toys strewn about a room. My new favorite game is to stick my hands in the VCR....I'm not sure why Mommy keeps yellling "NO" to me? But no bother, I just giggle and keep trying!

I am still not a fan of eating adult food (tossed up some carrot tonight). I am sticking with my favorite cheerios, and no matter how much Mommy tries to feed me, I am just not buying that those weird textures are worth it!

Daddy & I have been routing on the Red Sox since they have been on TV a lot. And I hear football season just started. Maybe I'll give Dad a few minutes of quiet to enjoy at least one quarter.

Enjoy the pics. I haven't been too cooperative with the video so only one video is included.

What? I haven't had my morning coffee yet!

I love to point....not sure I really know what I'm pointing at, but Mommy always laughs
Now that I can crawl this face appears a lot when I fall down or bang into something

Mommy said this is just another cute pic
I enjoy reading (eating) Mommy's magazines when she is done with them
My favorite spot is to look out the front window. It is great that they built it at my height!
Very excited to be playing with my activity table
I love getting up on my knees to reach things

More crawling.....
