10 Months already!

I feel like only a couple of months has gone by, but sadly it's already been 10! I can't believe how fast time has gone and I'm already doing the mental count down to when I have to go back to work. I think when I do go back, I'm going to have more separation anxiety than Amber will.

Amber finally has two teeth on the bottom and she definitely enjoys using them. She chews off pieces of fruit only to spit them out. One day I found her covered in teeny tiny apple pieces that she had chewed off and spit in her lap. Another thing Amber loves doing when she's eating is feed the dog. Needless to say Loca loves this feature. It goes something like this: pick up food.....look for dog over the side of the chair....hold said food out at arms length and drop.....giggle when Loca eats said food. This often goes on for a while.

Another new milestone that Amber has reached is that she's able to stand on her own while holding onto something. She's still a little wobbly, but she's getting the hang of it. She's also starting to pull herself up on things too, although she doesn't seem to have enough strength to really get herself up quite yet. This picture is an older one when she was first learning to stand, she's since become much more stable :)

All in all we've been having a lot of fun over the past few months. Halloween was great fun too. I took Amber (dressed in her dragon costume) down to my office to hand out candy. Then later that night we went over to Amber's friend Morgan's place to hand out candy to more kids. I would have taken her out trick-or-treating, but then I'd "have" to eat the candy....and I thought both Tim and I could do without the extra candy :)
