Sweet Pea

Almost 11 months old, she's growing by leaps and bounds. A real mover and shaker, scooting all around, pointing, chatting up a storm like's it's nobody's business, waving hello and goodbye, smiling and laughing at anyone who will look her way. Oh and she's into everything.

She has 4 top teeth coming in, FOUR - all at once. Overall they don't seem to be too much of a bother although I imagine it doesn't feel so great and thus she isn't 100% herself the past couple of days. She's still got a great appetite, loves all fruits and veggies and bread and cheese (she is her mother's daughter after all.)

She's determined. I think she knows that she is capable of doing more...Her little body is getting bigger. She's getting ready to stand on her two feet and it's looking pretty good to her. I have a feeling she'll be standing and walking on her own pretty soon. She's eager to learn as she continues to develop this outrageously outgoing and positive personality. Our baby girl is growing, and all we can do is hang on for the ride.

berries & such

Nothing says summer like fresh blueberries. We've got them and she loves them. I mean she gobbles them up and asks (in a rather loud voice) for more.

We have our blueberries then a little water dribbled on her table makes for some fun splashing. Messy? Yes. But it's great entertainment and it is water after all. Easy clean up - a small price for a very happy baby. 

We went to Sunday's farmers market at Slater Mill, Pawtucket and picked up loads of fresh eggs, fruits and veggies. Excellent varieties and choices -- all organic and yummy. The peaches were to die for.

Pointing...she points at everything.

Lola

Aunty Manda brought her new baby over Saturday - Lola. A precious 8 month old puppy that she's fostering through a rescue group. (Ya, Amanda!) She came all the way from Ohio - a product of the puppy mill industry no doubt. And she is absolutely adorable.

Welcome to a safe and loving future in little New England, precious girl.

Meanwhile...one word for you: loungers.

They are sooo good with her. Wow. Who would have thought, seven cats. They are so very tolerant. Thank you, kitties.
