Walk Walk Walk

You did it! You are walking around like a drunken sailor:) Acutally you are pretty cautious with your steps. It's so funny, you always have to have something in your hand while you walk. It seems to give you a sense of balance. Way to go Scoops! We are so proud of you. p.s. I am your biggest cheer leader always cheering the walk dance "walk walk walk....walk walk walk":)

Steps closer to walking...

That past couple days you have bravely took a few steps on your own. After you take those steps you sit down and crawl the rest of the way to your destination. Watch out world you are about to be even more mobile....

Just Because...

10 mo's old

You are 10 months old as of yesterday and you have become such a big girl! It's crazy that just 10 months ago you were the little 8 pound baby working your way out of momma's body. I must say you were a bit stubborn to birth being your head was the wrong way, cord around your neck, and poop in your sack:) This stubborness continues to play out as your learn the world around you. I am not saying it's a bad thing, in fact, it makes you who you are. For instance, you know the things you are not supposed to get into and you turn to find whoever is with you to see if we are looking and then continue to do what your not supposed to do. The look you give is quite funny. You have a smile that lights up the whole room. You are a little sponge these days, soaking in information, and trying to mimick what is said around you. This past weekend you have mastered uh-oh (compliments of G-ma & G-pa Dorsey), "good girl", and "thank- you". I am still working VERY hard at "momma" but you continue to say "da da da da" to mimick my "momma".:) You travel to Nebraska quite often whether it's with daddy, mommy, or all three of us. There is where you play with the dogs Macey and Bailey. You giggle when you see them and do the excited dance. Although Bailey is an old girl and sometimes barks loud when you touch her, it doesn't phase you, as you will go back for more to pet her. You are SOO ready to walk! You walk all around with your walking toy and are getting better at manuvering it. You sleep about 12 hours a night and are good at going down at night on your own. We are still working on the naptime routine but I must say we've made HUGE improvement. Harper girl, I continue to be amazed by you each and everyday! I love you scoops and couldn't be more happy! Happy 10 month Birthday!

When you are tired, it's all over. You have some serious melt downs when things are not going your way. Melt down city! I have a feeling we really haven't seen all that you are capable of doing when it comes to this, but for now, let's just say it ain't pretty. As of late there are times when you are pushing your walking toy, and darnit when it runs into something, you have a melt down. You haven't figured out how to back it up and you even don't give us a chance to get over to you before you have a semi-melt down. Sorry baby girl but I had to film the progression of the play session because it started out on a happy note and ended with you going nite nite:


***Notice the onsie...compliments of Grandpa Frank. Let's hope he builds you a hot rod:)
