| Happy Nats fan! |
In August, Daddy organized an event for my baby friends and their parents to go to Nationals Park with us to see the Nats take on the New York Mets. The drive there was a little gray and overcast but as soon as we parked and got out of the car...the skies opened up and we got caught in a downpour! Luckily we caught a free golf cart shuttle from the parking lot to the stadium so we didn't get too wet. Unfortunately, when we got to the stadium...we had to sit and wait out a three hour rain delay! But, after waiting three hours, the game finally started and we watched the Nats take down the Mets in style. At my first baseball game ever...I saw my first homerun (actually I saw three). We texted Aunt Orly, Uncle Yariv and Saba to rub it in because they're all Mets fans! I recycled one of my Olympic outfits so that I could wear red, white and blue to cheer on my team! We had a great turnout...10 babies and 19 adults!

Back to School...
 |
| Playing with the giant dominoes on my green mat. |
Now that September is here...Mommy is back at school with a new class full of energertic first graders! Me and Mommy spent a lot of time in August working in Mommy's classroom even though Mommy did not officially have to report to John Adams until August 24th. Mommy likes to make sure everything is perfect in her classroom so she always gets in there early! Mommy was surprised at how much work she was able accomplish with me in tow every day... I was very good about staying on my play mat and exploring the toys Mommy picked out for me. I played with the giant geometric figures and the giant wooden dominoes. I also played with the silver plastic star from Mommy's "Star Student" bulletin board and used my own rattle to tap on it like a drum! I liked clapping the dominoes together and tapping the shiny red sphere on the newly waxed floors. Mommy wasn't the only one working in her classroom. My friend Garrett's mommy and daddy were also there setting up their classrooms. I got to play with Garrett in the music room while Mommy was preparing a presentation with some of her friends. Garrett also came to visit me with his daddy in Mommy's classroom.

John Adams wasn't the only school I visited in August. Mommy, Ms. Kate (Garrett's mommy) and Mr. McCune were presenters at the CETA kickoff for educators so I got to come with them to a middle school in Arlington. It was lucky for Mommy that Mr. George (Mommy's assistant principal) and Ms. Taylor (Mommy's principal) came for the CETA kickoff because Mr. George held me while Mommy was presenting. Everyone thought I was so cute and I even cheered and clapped for Mommy when she finished presenting. I really liked hanging out with Mr. George!

Daddy ~ Daughter Day with Nana
My Nana and Uncle Ned are about to travel up North for their annual Canada trip. Nana really wanted to see me before they left so Daddy and me drove up to Annapolis for a visit while Mommy did some back to school shopping for herself! It had been a really long time since Mommy bought clothes that weren't for me and she was looking forward to shopping solo for the first time in a long time! Me and Daddy didn't mind because we got to spend all day relaxng and playing at Nana's house. I found some fun and exciting toys in my toy chest and I also had fun riding my pony again!

Saying Goodbye to Coach Lauren
On Sunday I went to Swim Kids with Mommy and Daddy and we got the sad news that Coach Lauren was getting a grownup job and wasn't going to be my swim coach anymore. She was sad to say goodbye...and so were we! It was a good thing Daddy brought the camera to swimming so he could get mu picture with Coach Lauren one last time.

| I love when Daddy comes to swimming with me! |

Saba and Savta Visit
I always love when my Saba and Savta drive down from New Jersey to visit me...especially when they come to babysit for me while Mommy and Daddy are working! Mommy had to go back to work for her teacher week so Saba and Savta agreed to keep me company. It was lucky for me that they came down when they did because I actually ended up sick and needed some extra love and care from my grandparents! On Friday, Mommy took me to the doctor. She was worried about me because I was refusing to eat anything and I didn't even want my milk. The doctor did a strep test but it came back normal so she told Mommy I was probably teething and sent me home. By Sunday, when Saba and Savta arrived...I was feeling even worse. I spent most of the week with a high fever that even Tylenol and Motrin didn't lower. I felt better in the bathtub but felt crummy as soon as I came out of the bathtub. I didn't eat well or sleep well and I cried a lot. We didn't even take any pictures during their visit because I wasn't my happy self! Saba and Savta had to take me to the doctor twice that week but finally I got a prescription and once I started taking it...I started feeling much better! It was nice that Saba and Savta were here to give me lots of TLC!

Ten Months Old

| Ten months old...am I cute or what? |
 |
| Ten months old...lollipop sticker! |
Hooray! I am officially ten months old and I have come a long way baby! These days I am growing bigger and doing lots of new and exciting things. I finally weighed in at 17 pounds and am officially outgrowing my 3-6 month clothes! I am really good at pulling myself up and will crawl a few steps at a time although I would rather hold somebody's hands and walk! I like to sit on my car and ride it and put a puffy in my mouth by myself for the first time!
Brunch Date with Logan
 |
| Smile babies...oh well...atleast the mommies are smiling! |
Me and Mommy decided to invite Logan and his mommy Ms. Shannon over to our house for a Back to School Brunch. Me and Logan are both sad that our Mommies had to go back to work because we liked spending time with them all summer! Daddy woke up early and went to the grocery store to get some brunch goodies and then came home and cooked for us. Mommy and Ms. Shannon enjoyed mimosas while Logan and I played on my playmat. Daddy made eggs with cheese, turkey bacon, cinnamon buns and fruit for us to eat. Even Logan liked Daddy's scarmbled eggs! I don't like to eat...so I just had milk!
