10 months WHAT?

At 10 months Jessica.........

-Said her first word!!! (it was actually today, at 10 months and one day). Apple. And she said it more than once, and five people heard it. YAY!!!!!

-Has 2 teeth, the bottom two. Her gums are swelling up top for those top toofers to come in! We've been singing "all I want for christmas is my two front teeth......."

-loves to clap, just started doing it last week

- waves to everyone, including her reflection in the mirror, and throws in a cheesey grin, too

-turns the pages of her books

-colored her first picture (a few dots from banging the crayon down before putting it in her

mouth. but i know she's the next picaso......)

-cruising everywhere, getting more confidence with everyday. and also bonks and bruises everyday........

-stood on her own multiple times, for a few seconds. then falls and cries

-starting to not want to eat her vegetables

-now is eating grains- loves them!

-cheese is her favorite (just like her mama!)

-takes two naps a day

-sleeps past 7am most days, and sometimes even past 8!

-still goes to bed between 5 and 6 pm

-LOVES the camera. Seriously. If we had been pagent parents (which we're not, and I actually think are totally ridiculous) we would be stoked. We have a future of all sorts of showing off in store for us!

-finally has enough hair to put clippy's and hair ties in (kinda)

-is pretty much always smiling. a happy baby

-has had TWO ear infections

-is almost 21 pounds

-her favorite song is now "5 little monkeys swinging in the tree" and she knows the hand movements that go with it.

-is defiently entering "toodlerhood" and her mommy and daddy couldnt' be more proud

So I couldn't decided which picture to use. The one with the cute, cheesy smile, or the one below doign her "SO big" And don't you love her party girl outfit? Fabulous with the raspberry stain right in the middle. Anyways, votes? Which should i use for the book?

Some pictures for you all.

Here's the two of us in front of the chirstmas tree getting ready for the Shuckleberries holiday party. LOVE her sweater dress!

So I'm not big into letting kids watch TV. But I had to find out what the hoopla was about the Baby Einstein videos was. She LOVES them! Actually, only the animal one. She only watches them on the weekend, for like 20 minutes. And its so cute how she sits there like a big kid to watch. Awwwwww, had to sneak a pic.........

Here's her party girl outfit- leopard print skirt, patent leather mary janes, and her fancy flower clip (she finally has enough hair to put it in!) PLUS the bday party hat.

Here you can see her flower a bit better. and her cheesy smile. SOOO Funny!

We got our first tree. How cute is this picture of the two of us climbing through the trees?

She met Santa!!!!! I'm trying to scan the photo, but i have a new scanner and i cant' figure it out. i'll get to that. But she did so good! at first she seemed scared, and then she saw that there was a camera so she forgot and started to smile! Some pictures of us waiting in line

Here she is walkign around with her walker toy. So funny. She totally thinks she rocks when she does it. Adn i'm usually right behind her makign sure she doesn't fall and get hurt. Even though she's never come close- i'm just a bit paranoid. And dont' you love the big warm hat? Cause it gets soooo cold her in San Diego!

One more picture showing you all what a HAM she is. Pretty ridiculous. Saw that Daddy had the camera so she started waving and smiling.

Hope you all are enjoying the holidays so far!!!! Have a fabulous week :)
