It's a Wilson World!: Ten Months... What a busy summer!

Can you believe how fast this summer is going by? Good thing I don't go to school yet or else I would get sad that the summer is almost over! It's been a very hot summer too... we have been spending a lot of time at the pool or at friends pools!

As you saw a few weeks ago, I am officially walking now! About 9 steps is the most I have done so far all by myself - without help from someone or the furniture. I seem to do best when I am not paying attention though. I "fall" really well too (at least that is what my folks say)... once I am down its back to the speed crawling. It may be a little while longer before I am walking all the time. I think I am thinning out a bit as well... which I am sure Mommy is happy about b/c then we don't need to buy anymore clothes for a little while. Still wearing 12-18 month outfits... depending on the fit.

As to not completely jinx our household, I will announce that for the most part I am completely sleeping thru the night. I talk in my sleep sometimes and its pretty loud or I have a bad dream and call for Daddy... otherwise I am getting about 11-12 hours straight of good sleep. Plus I still need about 2 hours during the day but everyday is different... Most days I still take my 9am nap and then maybe another snoozer in the afternoon depending on what we are doing that day. I think its all my moving around that is tiring me out. I guess I am also getting better at working thru the sleeping when I have trouble - on my own.

I am ok with eating on the spoon again... although I need to be able to eat stuff at every meal with my own fingers and hands. I love being independent! Not the hugest fan of chicken nuggets but I love meatballs, lasagna, pizza and french fries! Zucchini is still my favorite veggie but now mommy cuts it up for me and lets me pick it up... and of course we can't forget BLUEBERRIES!!! Watermelon is the close 2nd in the fruit category. Now I have 7 teeth completely showing and the 8th one broke thru but is very slow moving. I only want to use a sippy cup with a straw and still take 3 bottles a day.

Favorties right now.... Anything that is the color blue, her pocket book, the Fisher Price Farm (borrowed from her friend Katelyn Metcalfe), I don't like my diaper changes anymore so I always try to wiggle away, I want to help mommy in the kitchen but she gives me my own pot and spoon now to pretend, her water table and the pool, the dvd player in the car for car trips and it has to play the "Incredibles", pulling things that I can reach off the table, trying to get the safety plugs out of the outlets, ther bathroom (although they keep those doors closed all the time), trying to get into the pantry at any cost!

Ok well thanks for keeping up with me... This month we go on our 1st family vacation down the Jersey Shore... so expect lots of bathing suit and beach photos next update!
