Our little Mover

Fiona is cruising the mean streets of her house these days. She is getting mixed in canine and feline mischief all the time. When she is not busy chasing the animals around she is under the tables finding "hidden" toys. She is also experimenting with sitting up. We found her sitting up in her crib after every nap today!!!

She is still a petite darling but is really loving her mobility. Her new foods are egg yolk and whole wheat pasta.

Yesterday we went to Ameera's birthday party. Fiona was quiet at first just watching the other kids play. But...once she warmed up she had a blast.

We are excited and sad to see her start daycare in a few weeks. We got the call this week that she will start at Out House at the Pinnacle. Very exciting. I think her (and our) biggest hurdle will be sleeping with other things going on in the room but I am hoping she will adjust quickly.

We leave for New York on Tuesday. I am nervous about flying with Fiona and nervous about having her out of her element for a while week....eek. So long schedule.

10 Months Old

Fiona turned 10 months old last week. The time is going so fast. We have been so lucky that Kevin's schedule worked out to stay home with Fiona this summer. I know he has enjoyed the time.

Fiona is really close to full on crawling. This weekend she discovered she can army crawl her way across the floor so watch out. One minute she is on the playmat playing. Then she will see a toy under the kitchen table and "snap" she is under the table with they toy. She is very proud of herself when this happens. Fiona also started pushing up on her hands and knees. She still can't go from a reclined position to a sitting up position or pull up but those will happen in time.

Fiona loves music and animals. She dances, clucks her tongue, and trills her tongue. Raspberries are still at the top of her noise list though. The Arroyo doll we got at the Reds game is such a hit. I think Fiona always knows where he is and she is not afraid to put him in his place.

Fiona is still a lightweight. We think she weighs between 16 and 17 lbs. She has added the following foods to her food list:

lima beans
green beans
egg yolk
olive oil
chicken
brown rice
basmati rice
split peas
nectarines
