Success!

Now at 10 months, my little Skittle is finally feeding herself! She's figured it out! In the pictures below, she's eating roast beef. Meat is her favorite right now but she'll eat just about anything her little fingeres can pick up. She even yells at me while staring at my plate letting me know she wants more. I'm still having a lot of trouble getting her to eat purees (applesauce, yogurt, oatmeal), as in she won't open her mouth AT ALL. Now if I could just get her to drink from a cup and not throw it over the side of her highchair onto Indy's head...

At her 9 month appt, the doc said she looked great even though she wasn't eating hardly anything at that point. He wasn't worried about it and said she'd figure it out...who knew he'd actually be right! She weighed 16 lbs 1 oz and was 27 1/2 inches tall. She finally went past the 10th percentile-all the way to the 12th!

Homesick

For some reason I don't feel like I have a lot to write about. We did successfully move to Texas and while our house is very nice, it's just not Arizona. I'm actually quite homesick. I LOVE AZ weather, the fact that there were very little bugs, the wide open spaces, and the big sky. I haven't lived in a big city for over 5 years now. I miss my small AZ military town. The heat here in Texas is KILLER. Well, maybe it's not the heat, it's the humidity...I just can't get used to it. I do have to say that the one super great thing about being in TX is how close we are to family. My father in law comes over all the time and I LOVE it. I also love being able to jump in the car and drive to see my sister and parents who are just three hrs away.

I wish I could upload some new pictures but the camera cord has yet to be found. Here are a couple of Skittle when she was one week old:

Ahh, looks like my little stinkbug is now awake and cruising along in her crib....until next time...
