10 Months - January 2009

I am 10 months old now and quite proud of that! Crawling is a skill that I mastered in late November-early December. By mid-January, though, I am zipping around to anything that I can use to pull up to standing. Once standing, I will look around for 20 minutes. I am really working on my leg muscles so that I can walk soon. A few times now, I have pulled up onto the ottoman and stepped around it so that I could transition to holding onto the sofa instead. I guess I've technically taken my first steps!

The two things that are still worth crawling to are the dog dish---there's just something about splashing around in that water!---and the dog bed. Daisy and Molly's bed is the only acceptable place to do my yoga. I don't know why, but Daisy takes off every time I come over - she should join me instead!

Oh, and I picked up nickname #27 or so from Mom & Dad this month...."Bobby K" (they're always laughing when they call me that), because life is just beyond grand when I'm in my Bobby Bouncer (or is it Johnny Jumper? hmmmm...).
