10 months!!

Delaney turned 10 months old yesterday. She's getting bigger and bigger, but she's still a wee girl.
She really wants to be mobile, but she just hasn't worked out the mechanics yet.

Next Sunday Jess and I go to South Carolina for a week, so my mom's coming out to take care of Delaney. I think they'll both have a great time.

Takin' a walk...

Last week we took Delaney on a stroller ride to the park. It was the first that she took an active part in, as opposed to falling asleep. She leaned forward, hands on the tray the whole time, and was constantly scanning the world as it went by. Very cool.

We've also been working with her on standing, and she loves it. Any time we pick her up she tries to pull herself into the standing position (and we help just a little tiny bit). The other night she took it upon herself to latch onto the coffee table and try to stand up. She pulled with all her might and managed to float her butt above the floor for a while, but she couldn't quite get her feet under her. It's only a matter of time, though.

New pics are in the album!

Over the river and through the woods...

This weekend we went to Bolivar, MO, where Delaney got to visit with Grandma Jan and Uncle Maynard.
She had a great time, making her first visit to a mall, enjoying her first tapioca pudding, and having her first big girl bath.
She's getting much better at pivoting on her belly; crawling isn't too far around the corner.
