11 months old!

Our little monita is 11 months old today/tomorrow! She is into *everything* these days. Example: This morning she was in the bathroom with me while I was showering. She first amused herself by emptying my sock drawer and pulling all the pairs apart. Then she repeatedly yanked open the shower curtain to say hi and try to climb into the tub. Finally, she settled on dropping the contents of the hamper, one by one, into the shower.

Generally, her favorite mischief is splashing in the dog water bowls or dispensing water from the water cooler. As Jay says, she has a very good sense that she's not supposed to do these things, because she looks over her shoulder with a great "nanny-nanny-boo-boo" face when you notice she's up to something.

The other exciting development is that she is making her first attempts at balancing to stand, which is made a little more difficult for her because she shares her sister's need to dance all the time!

Rock a bye Bellie

Isabelle was quiet during naptime today, which only sometimes means she's sleeping. I had a moment of panic when I went in to see what she was up to at 4:30 - no Bellie in her bed, no Bellie on her floor. I was just turning to see if she had gotten out of her room somehow when I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. There she was, sleeping IN her baby doll cradle! She had put her blanket and pillow in there, curled up, and fallen asleep. Since she actually slept, I guess I can't complain.

Dog days of Durham

Saturday we went to hang out with Aunt Jessica and walked to Ninth Street for lunch. Doing so at noon on a 90+ degree day probably wasn't the smartest thing, but it was fun! Isabelle walked Sam over half a mile there! Lucia was happy with her O's. Jess, Sam, and I were just hot!

Lucia feeds herself

I'm not sure Lulu got any of the nutritional value from these vegetables, but she sure had fun!
