Erin's now 11 months old. I decided to include a couple videos of what she's been up to lately. Video seems like the only way to keep up with her-- she's always on the move! We do community ed swim classes with her at my old high school, a good excuse for her to stay up past her bedtime (but boy is she tired after). Next week our goal is to get her head all the way underwater.
Erin's learned how to pull herself up to standing in the crib. This development over the last several weeks has thrown a wrench in our nap and bedtime routine. Why sleep when you can babble and dance? It's especially cute when she's only in a diaper (see below!).
Fran and I are convinced we can pick some real words out of her baby babble lately. She will walk right up to us, hug our knees, and say "Uh" (meaning 'up') to be picked up. She likes to point or wave at Oscar and say "Ah" (as in 'Ah-scar', I think?), and Duncan is "Un".
Speaking of the dogs, they know where to hang out during Erin's meals or snacks for some free food. Ducan usually wedges himself underneath the highchair, leaving Oscar to prowl the periphery.
In other news, I turned 31 yesterday. We celebrated with burgers at a restaurant with friends-- the four plasma TVs within eyesight delighted Erin for a few minutes, then a meltdown forced mom and Erin to head home early. Fran's back to work on Monday with a few difficult months coming up. We're still anxiously waiting for warmer weather.

Erin, you're cute, and don't worry, I still wind up with that much food on the floor when I eat and I'm 31.
