10 months = Pistol Paisers

Cheeeese! I love to stand and play!

See, I'm almost crawling! Cute bootie, huh?!

Dad and I bowling, Wii style

Car ride...again!

Thanks again Uncle Randy, Aunt Sabrina and Cody for babysitting me!

Before and after of my house. New paint, fixtures and garage door. Finally!

Hey people...I am 10 months old!! Whoo hoo! I have to tell you that turning 10 months old has really turned a switch in me. It's called the attitude switch and boy am I good at it! I have started hitting my parents when I am mad, throwing things (mostly my nuk, monkey, blocks), crying just because I am not getting my way, arching my back, slithering out of my parents arms...just to name a few. Somehow I have been hearing "no!" quite a bit! In addition to this wonderful attitude, I have also become quite jealous! My new friend, Ella started at day care this week. I mean, I know we're friends and all...but that's MY Londa, and I'M the baby at day care. So when some cute lil chick is up in my territory, I let it be known that I am not real happy with the situation. Sure, sure, I'll get used to it and we'll be the best of friends...but until then...crying (real tears and everything) will do. My mom had a talk with me, but since the attitude switch, I'm not really into listening either. Yes...I did say I was 10 months, not 2 years. (my mom says, gulp!)

This week my mom, grandma and I went to visit my great grandma for the day. It was super fun. We just hung out while they looked at me and gave me all the attention, just what I like! I also took many rides on my roller coaster! My cousin Makyah let me borrow her coaster since she and Cambree are too big for it now and I love it. Some people say I look like my dad while riding it because most of the time I have zero expression while riding it. I do love it though! In fact, when my daddy stops it, I close my eyes, open my mouth and say, WHAAA!! Then he turns it back on for me!! :)

This weekend my mom and dad had a wedding in the cities (congrats Tiff and Andy!) so guess what....I got to have a sleep over at my cousin Cody's house!! I did go to the wedding, because girls like weddings and dresses and pretties...but then I went back to Cody's for the rest of the evening. He is so coooool! He has the best toys and I had a blast! When my mom and dad came back late that night, I woke up though...and cried. And cried. And cried. Finally I realized my mommy and daddy weren't going to leave again and I fell back asleep. Today when we woke up I got to play with Cody more and then we went shopping at Ikea. It was a super busy weekend, I'm glad to be home!

You'll notice in one of the pictures I am playing the Wii with daddy. It looks like Grandpa Mike (Berg) spilled the beans on a family Christmas present (grandma Bonnie was NOT happy!!) and so we decided to hook-er up! Pretty soon I'll be able to do it with no help!

Since the weather is getting cold and dry, my skin is getting pretty bad again. I get open sores on any crease in my skin...wrists, back of knees, butt...I just hate it. I think I used to be patient while I got lubed up, but not so much anymore! I hope someday this gets better. I get to see the dermatologist in a couple of weeks though.

Also, I know this is getting long, but I have a lot to tell you tonight! First of all...I am SO close to crawling! I let one leg drag behind as I pull myself with my arms. I can pull myself up on furniture though...and even walk along it! Second...if you ask me how old I am, I can tell you! I'm a little ahead of myself, but I put up my pointer finger..."I'm One!" It's in good practice so that when I do turn one, I've got it down pat! And the best of all....we have a "mamamama!" Whew, finally I can say mama! My mom has this thing with instant gratification, so I do anything and everything to make her wait for the good stuff!

Well, although I am getting bigger, my fingers are not (imagine that)...so I'm tired! Have a great week everyone and a wonderful Halloween. I get to carve pumpkins tomorrow and of course go trick-or-treating Friday. I'm sure you'll never guess what I am going to be?!?! Hmmm...it's something my mom is obsessed with (no, I am not going to be Justin Timberlake!) and it eats bananas! :)

Love you!

Also, check out the two video clips. I'm really sorry about the one being sideways half way though...you'll just have to turn your head, it was too cute not to post!
