10 Months Old

I've been way behind on here, partly due to trying to get organized after Christmas and partly due to Mariella having one cold after another, culminating in an ear infection. We finally took her in to get checked last Sunday, and once she got some antibiotics, she returned to her sunny self pretty quickly. I'll take her in for a check up next week to make sure she's all clear.

That's been Mariella's biggest excitement so far this month. It seems like the ear infection threw off her plans to start walking, but she's back to walking with assistance. Jacob likes to help her walk, and she almost can't keep her balance with the gigantic smile on her face when they walk together.

10 months, 10 days old (I waited until we could get some smiles)

It's hard to sit still these days, especially on a rocking chair

She threw her puppy in the air, and it fell on the floor

Mommy found the puppy!

Are you sure the puppy isn't under the cushion?

This was the very last picture, as Mariella decided it was a good idea to stand up on a rocking chair
