10.5 Months & Mobile

I've changed so much in such a short time that Mommy and Daddy are having a hard time keeping up with me... literally! I've finally traded in rolling around for crawling and boy can I move! I'm very hard to keep track of now, I hear "Where's the baby?" a lot. Mommy and Daddy have to vacuum daily so that I'm not mistaking leftover dog biscuit crumbs for Cheerios (even though the crumbs aren't 'O' shaped, sillies). Crawling has opened up a whole new world for me, there's so much to do and see and that's just in the downstairs of the house!

I have no problem sitting up on my own and getting into and out of sitting by myself too. I also can pull myself into a standing position but only as long as I have something to hold onto. I've made a couple of small steps while holding onto the couch, but I'm much more interested in grabbing for things that are suspiciously always out of my reach. There are three things that I want more than anything... the two peanut-shaped TiVo remotes and Mommy's laptop. Once I get my hands on those...that will be a happy day!

I'm still a very happy and smiley baby, and everyone loves to come and play with me. I've even had a babysitter that wasn't a family member! The weather is getting nicer and I've done some crawling in the grass which I didn't like at first.

Well, I think that just about catches me up on everything. I know that in about six weeks something big is going to happen, but Mommy and Daddy won't tell me what. They keep talking about invitations and decorations, but I don't know what those are. I guess it will have to be a surprise!
