Document the good

Though exhausted last night, I made myself write down a quick summary of the day. Because it was a day that invoked parenting joy.

(Good thing too, since this morning was a doozie.)

Lucy yesterday? We sang happy birthday (ten months) and she pointed and laughed. She loved sitting in the highchair at the restaurant, taking in the madness known as Pebbles. New fave food? Beets. And pita bread. (From my salad.) She's slept through the night for the past week. She's getting her top two eye teeth... Like Bunnicula. No top centers. She waves but usually ends up waving to herself (working on flipping the hand around.) Summarily: happy and great. And LOVES bath time.

Ten months strong

Mom felt very guilty about missing her nine month Sticky Bellies pics but I helped by totally botching her attempt at the ten month's.

She tried to thwart this behavior by putting the sticker on the onesie before putting it on me.

Didn't work.

Lotsa bloopers...

Here are the best of the lot. 

  

Happy 10 Months to me!

Red Beans and Rice

My favorite new activity? Self-feeding red beans and rice.

Even crying can't stop me.

It's Kip's favorite new activity too.

  

Mom knows she should probably discourage this, but the floor's spotless. And she can cut down on that pricey dog food. And it's makes for a fun photo.
