Living Life

Living life with a ten month old is even more wonderful than we had ever dreamed it would be. Tegan is learning and exploring everything there is about the world around her. She shows so much attention to details and sounds and makes us look at the world in a whole other light. She is our little window into the world we forgot about...the world of childhood. I am always talking about how each month Tegan wakes up a different baby, while much of that is true, I am starting to realize that the truth is that each month Tegan wakes up less like a baby.



In the past eleven days since Tegan woke up as a big 10 month old she has changed so much! Tegan has decided that she no longer wants to eat anything off of a spoon; being a big girl and feeding herself is the only way to go! Her favorite foods are pancakes, cheerios, yogurt bites and dried apples. Her least favorite foods are(by least I mean she gags and spits them out, then proceeds to feed them to the dog) scrambled eggs, bananas, and pasta. I think the whole soft slimy texture throws her off. What better way to start eating big girl foods then with TWO new teeth?! This week her top front teeth decided to make their grand experience, and now I get to listen to the un-godly gritting sound she makes. ick!


New tricks our always getting pulled out of her little hat, or bow in her case, haha. This weeks trick is assisted walking! Yesterday morning Tegan crawled over to her walker, stood up and started walking across the living room!!!! I just can't believe that our little girl is big enough to walk!!! I am just waiting for the day that she starts walking alone!

We are working on teaching Tegan simple signs to help her to better communicate with us. She gets the worlds biggest smile on her face when I sign to her. She thinks it is the funniest thing in the world! I can't wait for the day that she signs something to me!!!!


We are all wonderful in the Wright house. Things couldn't be better and we couldn't be happier. Life as parents is everything we wanted and more. Life is grand :)

Only a couple months to go...

I can't believe we are nearly half way through the month of September already! October is just around the corner which means I will be another year older and celebrating another year with my darling hubby! It means that we are closer and closer to Tegan's first birthday extravaganza and all that comes with having a big one year old! I have really dug into the party planning and have found myself getting more and more excited about the bittersweet event. We booked the banquet room to host the party, it is beautiful and perfect in every way! I have designed and ordered Tegan's invites which should arrive sometime next week (fingers crossed). I am currently working on party favors and the happy birthday banner, and continually looking for and thinking about other party ideas that will fit into the cupcake theme.

Tegan is growing up so fast and she never ceases to amaze me! She is always pulling new little tricks out of her hat. She is crawling and chasing after the cats in lightening speed. One minute you see her playing quietly on the floor, the next minute she is across the living room, I swear she has a teleportation super power! She now thinks it is fun to stand like a big girl and let go while making my nerves go haywire! I see walking in her near future; that is something that is just mind boggling to me. It is hard to picture her teeny little bald self walking around the house!

Things are great and we couldn't be happier; I guess you could say that all is well in the Wright house :)
