Pretty much sums it all up....

Taking care of those teeth!

She is getting two new ones in and she is really getting into taking care of them. She now asks (Baby Sign) to brush them at night as well as in the morning.

Our Annual Trip to the North Pole

We boarded the North Pole Express at Fillmore on Saturday night...and headed to the North Pole...we saw all sorts of magical things, pretty lights, "snow" and elves. We had chocolate milk, sugar cookies and candy canes and sang REALLY LOUD Christmas carols with some very yell-y elves. When we got to the North Pole, which surprisingly is only about 20 minutes out of Fillmore, the Jolly Ol' Elf himself boarded the train and spread some holiday cheer!

Jack-In-The-Box, pssaw!

P2 at the Park!

In a drawer, in a chair, with piggies in her hair!

Update

I have been slacking on the posts. Let's see, P2 is going to be 11 months old on Monday! The sleeping through the night thing stopped a while back when more teeth came to visit. She now points to things and knows what different toys are called. She doesn't have any new words yet. She doesn't walk yet. She stands or does a Sasquatch impersonation (see video above).

She laughs a lot, she loves peek-a-boo. She will happily push a chair around the kitchen for hours. She really likes to sit on the floor of her room and look through her books, she loves going to the park with Jessi and going down the slide and swinging on the swings.

Its really fun to start to see her independent personality coming out. She doesn't give up easily on things, loves to figure out how they work and tells stories about things to the other toys that will listen.

Peek-A-Boo

And as some of you will note she has her jeans on in some shots and not in others...this was a two part adventure. She love hanging out in there! :)

Cake Cake Cake

It was Mama's Birthday a few days ago. It was a lovely day. She read magazines, watched the US Open and had dinner with Uncle D & Auntie Cupcake. The cake was delish.

Speaking of cake, Mama is always gullible for an ad gimmick or a good PR pitch...its her business. So today's news about a new ink being used by the LA Times sounds divine...mmmm, cake.

We found Nemo!

P2, Our Hero, Uncle D, Auntie Cupcake, The Astronomer and Our Favorite Kentucky Native (OFKN) joined me on a visit to the Magic Kingdom yesterday. We had a great time. We went on Space Mountain, Pirates, The Buzz Lightyear ride (see below) and ....Finding Nemo. The weather was perfect - warm, not hot, exactly what you want a day like that to be.

We also went over to California Adventure where OFKN knew one of the cast members for the Aladdin show so we got in the VIP line and had spectacular seats.

P2 is definitely maturing. She was taking in the sights, enjoying the rides, napping in her stoller and clapping her hands with delight at appropriate times. She LOVED the Nemo ride - she was talking to the fish. She and I shared a car on the Buzz ride...her score was hardly lower than mine.

Oh dear, life is about to get complicated!

P2 just took several steps beside me only holding one hand.

It's a miracle!!

P2 slept ten hours straight! Through the night!!!!!! Previous record was five and a half! I finished Harry Potter AND got eight hours of sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smile...say cheese...

P2 has a special nose wrinkling grin she saves for the camera! As soon as she sees it she flashes a big smile...

Hide and Go Seek

Caught on "tape"!

The very first time she has clapped!! The 2,943,633rd time she has opened the closet door!

Nine Months OUT!

Tomorrow is P2's Nine Month Birthday! Today we had a nice visit with Dr. Chambers...

She is 27.5 inches tall, weighs 19.5 pounds and has a 17.75 inch head! :) He said she has very advanced communications skills. She is using them right now to tell me that I should pay attention to her and not the computer...............
