10 Months Old

Anna is 10 months old today. She is continuing to change each day and learn new things. She has many new sounds this month including "doodle, doodle doodle", "Daddeeee", and can roar like a "Wildcat"! It is funny because we will ask her what a wildcat says and she now answers with the "roar" sound! We ask her what a sheep says and she answers with "roar" as well. I think we need to keep working on our animal sounds.

Also new this month, Anna is signing really well. She does "please" when she sees food or to get out of her chair or take a bath. Her new sign for the month is sleep.

I weighed Anna today, but with her clothes on because I forgot to before I dressed her. So with clothes and a dry diaper, Anna weighs 17 lbs. 11 oz. A big jump from last month, but I don't think it is very accurate.

Anna can crawl really well now and tries to pull up on things. She can only get up to her knees though. She has not figured out how to stand all the way up. She is usually sitting up playing with her bear when I go in to get her up in the morning or at naptime.

She won't sit still for long.

We love Meagan!

Meagan babysat for us on Saturday night so we could go on a date. If you need a babysitter, call Meagan. She is GREAT! Then yesterday, Meagan hung out with us all day. She made cupcakes for our small group, helped take care of Anna, pushed Anna around while we were shopping, and helped cook dinner:) Meagan, I had so much fun yesterday!

Quick Trip

Anna and I had a quick trip to Kentucky earlier this week. It was great getting to visit with our family! I think everyone saw a big difference in Anna this time. We are very busy this week with traveling. Today we are leaving for Joe's parents.

Boo at the Farm

Fran had a fabulous party at the farm Saturday. Does this girl know how to throw a party or what? She worked all week at her parent's farm for this party. Thanks for a great time Fran! All the kids dressed up in their Halloween costumes. Anna didn't come to the party until after her morning nap. I think she enjoyed watching all the kids and seeing the animals.

My little bumblebee!

Catch up on some videos...

I needed to catch up on some videos from several weeks ago through yesterday. The first video is Anna and Caroline. Caroline is 5 months older than Anna. She was baby talking because of Anna. She can say alot of words. Anna played in Jaxson's ball pit yesterday. As you can see, she liked it! I finally caught Anna crawling on video. She crawls faster and alot farther now. Jack and Jake really helped with the crawling:)

Our Weekend

Anna went to her first wedding this past weekend. We were not going to take her because she talks alot now. His co-workers insisted that we bring her, so we did. Anna did great during the wedding, we just had to stuff her with puffs. Towards the end she started talking some, so I would stick my gum out and then pull it back in again, and she LOVED it. We did that for the last 10 minutes of the wedding.

Then yesterday, Anna and I went for a walk with LeAnna and Jaxson. When we got home, I realized that my house key was not on my keyring, so we were locked out. LeAnna let us stay all afternoon! Thanks LeAnna! If I gave anyone my key, please let me know:)

Anna will give me a kiss if I ask her to now.

Our family...

Puffs saved the day:)
