Katie and Saga visit

Terrace and I had a wonderful few days with Katie and Saga visiting. We mostly hung around at the house but we did have Tricia and the girls over, went to library time and went shopping another day. Saga had a great time playing with TJ's toys and learned how to jump in the jump-a-roo in less than 10 minutes. We did a short photo session which was not easy to keep them still and looking the right way. I have been having fun putting pictures together in a collage format....enjoy! miss you already kt and saga

Enjoy a brief progression of pictures over the last 10 months (the size will increase if you click on the picture)

WOW 10 months old

So, once again Brad and I can not believe that 10 months has passed since we first met this little joy. She currently has an ear infection and had a high fever yesterday even with Tylenol but is feeling much better today. As I write every month she is becoming more and more of a little person. She is pulling herself up on everything and has taken a few steps pushing her walker. Everyday she is showing me more of her likes and dislikes of food. She used to eat anything but now she knows what she wants......usually what is on our plates. At home she pretty much eats what we eat, but I usually bring something along when we are out and about. She likes to say uh-oh and finally has her FIRST TOOTH!!!

Sign language is going great and she continues to sign: more, all done, and milk/baba....though she does the sign for milk/baba alot so we are now learning binki (which I made up so if anyone knows it please let me know). We are also working on water, mom, dad, eat and drink. I rented a few sign language dvd's from the library but they were way to slow for her to sit through.

Below you will see pictures of her in her great new pool that Brad picked out. She also had her first pony-tail this weekend which was very exciting, it took Brad singing to distract her as it took awhile.

can she get any cuter?

We went to take 10 month pictures today and they turned out so great! TJ did so well even though she wanted to crawl around everywhere.....sorry they are so small and all over the place. Enjoy and I hope they make you smile when you look at them as much as Brad and I do!
