AAAAHHHH...

Terra is an early riser, which is so different from Trent.  I think it stems from having to get her up early most mornings to get Trent to school.  So, when the weekend rolls around 6am seems so early. This morning Terra was up at 6:05 a.m., I gave her a bottle and then put her back in her crib (just hoping she would fall back asleep).  She laid there quietly for awhile and then started talking and talking some more. I didn't want Trent to wake up, so I brought Terra in bed with me.  It took about 45 minutes or so, but she finally fell asleep, which meant I got to fall back asleep too.

A serious case of bed head.

Final a Piano

Trent has been taking piano lessons since he was in 1st grade and he has practiced on a keyboard this whole time.  Trent has been dedicated to practicing and is doing well playing the piano.  His teacher thinks he is very talented.  So, we thought it was finally time to get him a piano. We were planning on renting/buying one and then Cindy came up with the idea of Tim's grandparents Henry and Ethel giving Trent their piano. She talked with them and they were so happy to be giving it to Trent. The piano was delivered and Trent was so excited. We were heading out to swim practice, so he didn't get to play it, but it was the first thing he did when he got home.

Red, White and Cute...Terra's Photo Shoot

Terra had her 9 1/2 month old photo shoot with Carie a few weeks ago. This shoot was much more challenging since Terra is on the move. Carie had to twist my arm to be in the photo shoot with Terra and I am so glad she did. Again, the shoot was challenging, but once again Carie got some great shots and just captured Terra perfectly.

 Anything and everything goes in the mouth and she starts chomping away.

 Look at those teeth.

 Cute piggies.

 She got to the rail and she so wanted to chomp down on it, but in most cases I am still faster than her. 

 Her hair is starting to come in.

 Here is my debut...

 Giving Terra some love, she just loves kisses...not!

 Reading to Terra, which lasted about two seconds before she put the book in her mouth.

 Terra refusing to give me kisses.

 Kisses for Terra

 Love this picture!

Terra's favorite toy her caterpillar.

We took a little break and had an outfit change or two. Our theme for these pictures was our all American girl.

 Love this dress. 

 Terra checking things out as always.

 This is the look she has when she is talking or talking very loudly, which might be considered screeching.

Terra is wearing a onesie that says, Red, White and Cute.  Trent loves this onesie, so that is why I wanted Terra to be photographed in it.

 So cute!

Again, in the mouth.

Love these photographs and I can't wait until her year old photo shoot. I hope she is walking by then, my luck she will be running.

Terra...10 months

Only 2 more months until our little girl is 1 year old...oh my! She continues to always be on the move and just keeps getting faster. She has graduated from the wounded solider crawl to crawling on her knees. She started crawling on her knees after being at jump n' jammin' and seeing a little boy crawl around on his knees...or maybe it was just a coincidence, but I am going with monkey see monkey do.

Terra enjoying her first time at Jump n' Jammin. She wasted no time getting right in the mix. She loved climbing and crawling around.

Trent playing with Terra.

Ok Mom enough with the pictures!

We have been introducing Terra to more table type food. She loved the broccoli and got mad when we took the stem away from her because she could have choked.  Silly girl.

 Those eyes look tired.

Since I thought it was a fluke that Terra liked broccoli, I had to try it again and to my surprise she ate a few bites. Maybe we will have a child who likes veggies...only time will tell.

I love her look here.

 Yes, I am going to eat this tree.

 Terra cheered on Madison as she cheered for the Apache football players.

 Terra loves the pool, just like her brother.

It doesn't matter what toys of Terra's I have out, she always goes for Trent's toys. Trent is usually a good sport about it, unless it's his iPad.

Not only is Terra on the move crawling around everywhere, Terra is really starting to cruise around tables, standing up, sitting down, taking a step from the coffee table to the couch and just all around testing out her legs.

She has grown so much over the last month. I feel it was just the other day that she barely could see over the table. By the way, this outfit is one of my favorites.

 Cutie pie!

She is really teething. Everything and I mean everything goes in her mouth and she goes to town chewing on it.

 Even though I set up barriers, she eventually makes her way to Trent's books.

 And here the books come off the shelf and then into the mouth.

I can feel the Fall weather right around the corner. The mornings have been chillier and I wanted to get these adorable boots on Terra before they got too small.  She rocked these cute boots, I wish they made them in my size.

Can't wait to see what the next month brings...maybe walking.
