Thank goodness it is the weekend!  This week has been hard.  My mom has been working a lot to hire new workers for her classroom, my dad had a few big meetings, and I was teething a bit so I was a little grumpier than usual.  I wish that this first tooth would finally come in so I could get some relief but I am almost ten months and no sign of it yet.  Maybe before my first birthday I will have a tooth. Maybe I will have to eat soft foods for the rest of my life.  Hope not!
I have really been working on pulling up to stand this week.  I am a really good army crawler but I have never been into getting on all fours with my tummy off the ground.  This week I can get onto my knees and pull up.  Sometimes I need a little help but I really enjoy practicing.  Last night I decided to pull up to stand on my carseat.  That didn't work so well because it kept bopping me in the face.  My mom took a video but she accidentally took it upside.  Darn iphone!
My dad takes really good care of me while my mom is at work during the week.  We play a lot and do lots of fun things.  Yesterday my dad decided to rearrange some furniture so that I couldn't escape the little play area.  Well, once I went to bed and it got dark my mom went walking to get something out of her purse that was sitting on the china cabinet.  All of a sudden dad heard a huge bang and mom was laying on the floor.  Some really naughty words were coming out of her mouth and dad came running.  My dad was relaxing and forgot to move the big chairs that were blocking the way and mom tripped right over them.  She has an enormous bruise the length of her forearm and she decided to not speak to dad for several hours after that!  Mom was very glad that I was safe in my bed because if you know my mom she is not a very graceful person.  My grandpa used to tease her and call her Grace as a child because she fell down so much.  She was glad i didn't end up on the floor with her. 
Wish me luck because tomorrow mom is going to try to take me to a huge garage sale and to visit my great grandma who broke her leg!  Keep it real!
