Auntie Al and Uncle Pat came to visit from Texas and we got to spend the weekend with them at our house and in NC at Nana and Granddaddy's. Uncle Jor rode up with Nadia and me and was great help since Andy had to stay home for a youth retreat. 
Kisses from Granddaddy
Uncle Pat is tall! Nadia and Auntie Al are about the same height here...
Auntie Al got in the inflatable with Nadia to play!
Rather than getting up at 4 AM when Nadia thought she was ready to be awake, we put her in the bed with us. This is how they looked after I got up. I was prompted to get up sooner than they were b/c my space was where the red pillow is now.... it didn't allow for ANY movement or comfort... but I love my sweet bed buddies!
Sweet girl was so tired she fell sound asleep during supper!
I got in the ball pit inflatable to play too! Nadia is growing up so very much every day!
- She now walks across the room when she wants to (which isn't all the time b/c crawling is still more realiable) but she can do it when she sets her mind to it.
- She can say "go" "ball" "bye bye" and "MAMA" (finally!).
- She has learned to put objects back into their container this week. Before this point she has only been willing to take them out but never to put them back in. She loves to get the animals and put them back in the ark and close the door.
- She has two new teeth on the top! She continues to love to eat everything we offer her.
- She loves plopping down on pillows and putting her head on a pillow to play. She still eats once in the night and gets up a second time most nights just for some quick cuddling and then goes right back to sleep.
- She will read books by herself now (well at least she will look through the pictures and turn the pages all by herself). When she has the choice, she chooses books more than any other toy.
- She has adapted well to her new M/W nanny and likes her alot. She's also had fun with her new class at "school."
- She was an awesome nursing home and homebound member visitor with me this week. The seniors always LOVE when a baby comes to visit and it's usually pretty easy to take her to the nursing home. I took her to our first homebound member's house and it was filled with breakables galore. Nadia sat perfectly still beside me on the couch and played with some plastic coasters the lady gave her while we chatted. At one point she got down, crawled over to the lady and said "hey", waved and blew kisses. She never even tried to touch the porcelain tea cup collection on the coffee table or the glass bells or vase collection on the end tables! My 10 month old is the perfect house guest!
- She blows kisses and says bye consistently when we leave somewhere.
- When we read one particular book that has one object per page, she anticipates the page turn to the page with a "ball" and shouts out "BALL" as soon as she sees it (and sometimes before b/c she's too excited to wait for it!).
Every day is such a total joy with her! She wakes up happy and makes us smile all day long. She is the best hugger ever and gives us cuddles and hugs all throughout the day. We feel like the luckiest parents in the world!
