Walking

Bethanie has started walking...she's still getting used to it and still prefers crawling but she sure can do it. Yesterday she almost made it all the way across the living room! I'm so proud of her! :) I can't believe she's almost 11 months! Time flies! We are enjoying every minute of our cutie!

We tried getting videos of her walking but Bryan's phone kept freezing up so this is the only one we got so far...don't worry...I will definitely be trying to get more.

Teeth and Steps!

Well, yesterday was a big day for our little Miss Bethanie! Her 1st tooth FINALLY poked through the gums. Although the doctor told us it was impossible for her to get any teeth besides the bottom 2 first we proved him wrong! Her right vampire tooth is the 1st tooth to poke through. Her left vampire tooth is going to be second I am sure because it's getting close. Still no evidence of the bottom 2. In your face stupid doctor! Haha! :) I believe Bethanie has joined Team Edward and is becoming a vampire. EEK!

Another amazing thing that happened yesterday...Bethanie took her first independent steps! She was standing up next to our side table in the living room trying to get the remote and my cell phone off of it...so I decided I would take them and hold them up for her to get them instead...she got so excited, she forgot that she wasn't holding onto the table anymore and walked 3 steps towards me to get the phone!! I was so excited!!! Well Bryan of course was jealous that he missed out so later on we tried it again and she walked another 2 steps. She is definitely not confident with walking but we are well on our way! :) So exciting!! I am hoping she will be walking confidently by her birthday!!

Camping 9-2010

So we got a new pop up camper and thought we'd try it out. We went camping with some of Bryan's coworkers and had a lot of fun. We were going to take Bethanie but she was not feeling well and we did not want another miserable camping trip like last time so she got to stay with her grandparents. We camped out by Woods Canyon Lake and had the best view from our campsite. We have decided that we will never go back to tent camping...camping in a pop up camper is SO much better. :) Lots of fun shooting and riding in Chris's Rhino. :) Can't wait to go camping again.

10 Months!

I can't believe Bethanie is 10 months already...only 2 more months until she's ONE! Wow! Time sure does fly! Bethanie is becoming more and more fun as time goes on...she is definitely a trouble maker though. :) She gets into EVERYTHING and loves to climb. She gets up onto the couch and climbs out onto the side table...scary!

Just recently Bethanie has started copying me. When I say "no no no no no" when she's going towards something she's not supposed to get into, she smiles at me and repeats "na na na na na." Silly girl!

She's getting so big and acts so grown up sometimes. She's SO close to walking. She can walk with us holding onto just one hand.

We love our happy little girl...even if she still doesn't sleep. ;)

9 Month Well Check

Bethanie had her 9 month check up today and got an A+ :)
The doctor said she is PERFECT! Yep, that's right...we've got a perfect child!

Here are her stats:
Weight: 20 pounds 12 ounces - 75-90%
Head: 46 cm - 90%
Length: 30 inches - GREATER than 95%

Yep, we've got a tall one on our hands! :) Never would have guessed that we would have a tall child. Hehe.

Bethanie is doing great! She's growing up so fast. She is such a joy to have around...even in the middle of the night when she wakes me up multiple times. LOL!

Bethanie loves to get around...she is always on the move. You have to keep a close eye on her because she gets into EVERYTHING! She knows right from wrong and is rebellious already. When she knows she is heading towards something she is not supposed to get into she will turn around to see if I'm watching and then book it as fast as she can to get to whatever it is before I can catch her. She's such a goofball!

She is so talented...she can already pick things up with her thumb and index finger...according to her Aunt Sheree, that's very advanced. :)

Bethanie loves to stand up and "cruise" as they call it...that means walking along furniture. She is still timid to stand on her own or to walk on her own but she can stand up for quite a while on her own until she realizes she is not holding onto anything and then she plops back down.

We got a toy piano from our neighbor and it plays different songs when you hit the keys and today Bethanie was dancing...it was ADORABLE!!

I can't believe how fast she's growing up. Still no teeth...but that's ok.

We love our little girl!! :) We are so lucky to have her!

Bumble Bee...

So, when I was a baby I would cry when my mom would sing this song to me:

I'm bringing home my baby bumble bee
Won't my Mommy be so proud of me
I'm bringing home my baby bumble bee -
OUCH!! It stung me!!

Well, Bethanie LOVES it! When I would get to the "Bzzzzz, Ouch it stung me!" I would do the Bzzzzz into her hands and she just laughed and laughed and laughed...enjoy!
Watch out, her laugh is contagious!

Going Private

So I've been getting a lot of random, weird people commenting on my posts and I have no idea who they are...so I have decided I think I will go private.
