Oh what a little sweetheart we have! But I'm not biased or anything. So the little Miss E is 10 months old & she is such a delight! We often can't believe what a good baby she is, she is just so easy going! The big news this month is that Elin took her first true step on the day she turned 10 months. We were all just playing in the floor and she let go of a toy that she was hanging onto for balance and took her first step! We all saw it and Jake threw both his arms in the air and said ecstatically, "She walked!" It was pretty cute how proud he was of her! She has also got some new verbal skills going. Keith says that she talks "chicken" and makes fun of me when I talk it back to her! She often chatters away saying "baka, baka, baka" & "daka, daka, daka." She also will yell out a quick "Ho!" (with an abrupt ending to the word) when Keith comes into the room as if to say, "Hey Daddy, I'm over here... you see me right?" She also has been getting extremely excited when Keith gets home from work and she race crawls to his feet... I know that just breaks his heart! She loves to be sung to as well and claps her hands along, so sweet. She loves table food, especially bread. Hawaiian wheat rolls are one of her favorite! She also eats, black eyed peas, green beans, (she still HATES green peas) bananas, strawberries, & carrots along w other regular baby foods. I can't really think of anything else significant from this last month other than we had a beautiful WHITE Christmas in Midland with the Rotan clan. Maybe I will eventually post some Christmas pics but those for sure are to be delayed as we will be official Tennesseans (YIKES) in a little over a week & we are very busy planning and preparing for the big move. We will be living in a hotel for 2-3 weeks prior to moving into our home (assuming that all goes well with the one we have under contract). Jake is super pumped because we are staying in a hotel with a POOL and then we get to move into our new house with STAIRS!! Ha! Oh to be three again! He, by the way has said some hilarious things lately... oh there is another blog post...
