10 MONTHS OLD TODAY

She loves reading books and continues to sample everything.

Today is an exciting day

6/23/2008 Tomorrow Nelson will be 10 months old. This morning for the first time she stood on her own without holding onto something. Her balance is getting so good. So far she has been able to cruise the furniture and take one step (or just lean and catch herself) to get to the next piece of furniture. I think she'll be walking anytime now. So sad but so exciting.

WHO NEEDS TEETH ANYWAY

Nelson only has her bottom 2 teeth. She eats everything like she has a full set. Today she ate

1) cream of wheat for breakfast

2) cake and icecream at a birthday party

3) roughly 30 cheerios

4) 3 saltine crackers

5) celery sticks

6) 4 bites of chicken

7) chili

Shes really pretty talented with the 2 teeth. She can also gum anything to mush and she LOVES spicey food.

YUM YUM

Today I ate my first sucker! I had it EVERYWHERE! My cousin Ellie was holding me during the parade in Woodland and gave it to me after someone in the parade tossed it to her. I loved it.

A beautiful sunny day!

We played outside in the sun and Nelson LOVES to be outside!

Putt-Putt Golfing with Auntie and Uncle

We went putt-putt golfing today. Nelson liked to hold onto the ball. She also clapped and cheered us on. Shes such a great sport.

Why can't I play in the dog bowl?

Nelson tries about every 3 minutes to play in the dog bowl. She loves to splash in the water. She acts like she can't hear us tell her "no no".

Im getting new teeth!

Nelson is getting her 2 front upper teeth. She must think it feels funny because she keeps rubbing her upper lip on them. Shes also has a non-stop drip of drool down her shirt.
