Lily around the house

Emily around the house

I'm 10 months old today!

Emily is now 10 months old. Where has the time gone? She crawls, she feeds herself, she "talks", she has teeth, she recognizes people, she pulls herself up to standing, she can get into a sitting position herself, and she loves anything musical. Next thing I know it'll be her first birthday.

Emily's teeth!

If you want to see them better click on the picture.

Miss Emily has not 1 but 2 teeth now! They sprang out pretty much at the same time, there was about 36 hours in between them so it was a hellish 3 days. We seem to have hit a little break before the next ones appear (thank God!) but I suspect they'll all be along shortly. I had to wait until she was screaming bloody murder to get a good picture of them cause when she smiles you can't see them yet and if I put my finger in her mouth to pull down her lip she bites me!

getting tired

biiiiiiiig yawn

ready to go home

Well, I'd love to say her first field trip was a big success, but it wasn't. Lily didn't sleep well the tnight before. She woke up screaming 3 times from what I assume was nightmares so she wasn't a happy camper. She loved the bus and didn't want to get off so that didn't help.

When Gail was talking to us about all the different kinds of apples (personally I thought that part of the trip was better suited to a 1st grade class than a bunch of 2 & 3 year olds) they grow Lily had a major tantrum cause she just did not want to stand still and listen and I was making her. Then she had another when Gail brought out the ladder to show us how they pick the apples and Lily couldn't climb it. And yet another on the bus when it was time to get off and she had to wait her turn.

Embarassing for me cause every other kid was able to be good for the whole trip. But we did have some fun and she was really good about sitting on her bum and staying sitting on the bus so I was happy about that.

Looking forward to the next trip... kind of.
