10 Months



Busy, busy month. Another post to come on the new house. But in the meantime, Jill continued to get older and bigger and is now 10 months!

She is keeping us on our toes. Right after she turned 10 months, Jill started taking more than just a step or two at a time. Sometimes it's 4 or 5 now. And it's usually when we're not looking! She'll push off one of us, or the couch, and by the time we notice, she's halfway across the room. She's very sneaky about it. And doesn't like to do it on demand. She also loves to climb everything.

And she has a couple pretend words she likes to say over and over but I'm not sure what they mean. For example, she will often yell out "Nein!" from her crib or while playing or eating. Perhaps her German side coming out? I have no idea! She says "mama" and "dada" but not sure she really knows what they mean all the time yet. And I'm pretty sure she's saying her own version of "hi!" all the time.

We have established a weekly play group in the area, which we host at our place once a month, or more. Jill loves having friends over, she is quite the social butterfly. And it's nice to have someone to talk to that can communicate back, I have to admit!

This is her concentration face. Concentrating on taking out the outlet covers. Which she is successful at now. Both kinds. Wonderful.


The kiddos. Blackjack decided he wanted to be in the pics too.

Jill's favorite meal: grilled cheese.

Popsicle face.

Grandma Curtis came out to help watch the baby while we worked on the new house. What a lifesaver, thanks Grandma!
