10 Months Old

As of July 21, our little Betsy is 10 months old. I can't believe how quickly time flies. I know everyone said it would, but it really has.

On Thursday morning we went to the Park then later on we went to playgroup at Karen's. The babies are just starting to fight over toys--especially Betsy. She is constantly grabbing the toys from the other babies. Let's hope this little phase doesn't last.

On Friday Momma Lady came in town to watch B while I had a fun day with Katherine. We had many, many adventures and I was gone from 945 till 9 pm. Peter relieved his Mom in the afternoon. I missed my baby by the time I got home.

On Saturday morning Peter A. picked up the new Harry Potter for me and for Attie. Yay! I've only read one chapter; hopefully I can read some tonight before bed. After I got the book B and I picked up Attie and we went to the Farmer's Market and the Camp & Girod PJ's. There was a jazz band and they played "Itsy, Bitsy Spider" and "Old MacDonald" for the kiddies. B smiled and clapped. We bought beautiful blueberries, bell peppers, cucumbers, baby eggplants, and tomatoes. We also bought a rosemary plant, a basil plant, and this awesome butter from a local dairy. Last night Marme, Attie, Beau, Katie, and Peter A. came over and we grilled. My husband was the chef of the evening and everything was delicious--baby eggplants with rosemary (they tasted like artichoke hearts--yum!), portabello mushrooms, corn, and I heard the chicken, sausage, and steaks were delicious too. B ate chickent, steak, eggplant, and mushrooms. We put B in the pool in the backyard. At first she wasn't sure if she liked, but she soon discovered that she did like it.

This morning P woke up with B at 7 and I slept until 9. Wow!!! I haven't slept that late in a really long time. By the time I got up B was already napping. P made blueberry pancakes, which were divine. B and I went to Julie's for B to play with Lucy and her cousin, Edward. B loved all of Lucy's toys and Julie lent us some adorable clothes and a cool, big toy that B can pull up on and play with. Chris brought B a precious outfit from Nicaragua--too sweet! In the afternoon we went to Jama & Pa's for a birthday party for Taddy. It was so much fun getting together with the family. We missed Papa Vic and Bee; they are in Montreal. B was exhausted when we left so she fell asleep in the car and slept until 715. Yikes--it's gonna be a loooong evening.

Happy Birthday, Taddy (7/20) and Cal (7/21)!!!
