10 Months!

Wendy is all about pulling up and standing now-a-days. She also loves to pull everything off the book shelves or completely empty out her toy box. Not to necessarily play with the toys, but just to pull them all out. 

We've been taking trips to the mall so she can play somewhere warm other than the house. 

She loves it there!

This little girl kept crawling around and waiting for Wendy to chase after her. 

All these girls were gathered around Wendy watching her play. Right when I tried to take the picture they decided to get up to play somewhere else. 

Wendy has warmed up to her Pooh bear poof. Baxter likes it too and doesn't understand that it's not his. 

We also visited another indoor play place that Wendy loved called Jabbers. 

Playing with her baby doll her grandma bought for her. 

Eating lasagna! I don't understand how she gets it all over herself like that. 

Back at the mall. 

Happy Thanksgiving! This outfit courtesy of Wendy's great-grandma.

We put the Christmas tree up the day after Thanksgiving. 

And then quickly put the gate up around it so Wendy wouldn't pull it over on herself. 

The following are her reactions to waking up and seeing the Christmas tree!

I was cleaning in the kitchen and peeked around the corner to see what she was doing and found she was playing with the one branch that was poking through the gate.

PJ put his mask he wears when he rides his bike in the cold and she loved it! She thought it was funny when we put it on her. PJ kept saying "You think the darkness is your ally?" and "I am Baine". 

And finally, a sneak peak at our new little one due June 28. We have the ultra sound to find out the sex of the baby in February.

We had so much fun on our trip to North Carolina and Georgia!

We were playing music on the computer as we were packing and there were graphics to go along with it. Wendy was mesmerized. 

Meeting Grandma-Kim again!

Wendy had just eaten a can of peaches, that's not drool on her shirt. 

Having fun at a farm in North Carolina! Behind me is a corn maze. 

Our little pumpkin!

We loved this swing! Maybe PJ will build one for us?

There was this netting they called "the spider's web" but Wendy did not really know what to do on it. 

Smile!

Uncle Zack joined us a little later on. 

Checkin' out the farm animals. 

I don't think she ever noticed the goat way above us. 

More little pumpkins. 

We tried to get Wendy to pose with the gorilla but the sun was in her face. 

Brings a new meaning to Brother Bear!

Another ride on the swing. 

The most beautiful day we had in the south!

Playing with Auntie Whitney. 

Hiking around the Carl Sandburg house in North Carolina. 

It was really cold but Wendy enjoyed herself. 

She kept leaning back and looking at all the trees while eating her veggie sticks. Best way to hike!

Happy Halloween!

My nephew and niece both wore this costume back in their day. I'm glad my sister let us use it. 

Mr & Mrs. Fox, a pumpkin, skeleton, and PJ. 

Visiting with one of Wendy's great-grandma's. Four generations of girls!

Grandpa- Willy playing air plane!

Wendy having fun with Grandma- Kelly too. 

Wendy playing with Grandpa- Jeff, Aunt Rhetta and her cousin Alex!

Uncle Tom came a little later too. 

We missed Baxter but at least Wendy got to play with Uncle Brad's dogs a little. 

And finally Great-Grandpa Sid!

Alex trying to share the phone with Wendy. 

Leaving Longhorns. Wendy ate half of a half-rack of ribs, broccoli, and bread. 

Wendy and Grandpa- Jeff!

We survived her first plane experience!
