These booties are made for walking ... sort of

The big question is ... will Nicole crawl first or will she walk first? She gave some hints yesterday that she could soon be ready to try either. She supposedly crawled at day care, but it's more like scooting. If you put her down and leave her be, she won't end up in the same place. But it's not quite crawling yet. Still, she looks like she's getting ready. It could be any day. As for walking, that's a lot farther away. But as you'll see in the pictures, she can hold herself up and is just about at the point of pulling herself upright. I'll be teaching her how to play softball in no time.

Here are the pictures.

Time change

Just a reminder for anyone who cares that with the end of daylight savings time, we are now TWO hours behind the east coast and ONE hour ahead of the west coast.

Halloween and a visit from Bubby & Grandpa

Once we explained to Nicole that we would put her in a costume and take her around the neighborhood collecting candy, she asked how she'd be able to eat the candy. We told her she needed teeth, so on Saturday before Halloween, with Bubby and Grandpa in town as witnesses, she got her first tooth. What timing. She also attended her first baseball game, learned how to clap her hands on demand and, of course, enjoyed her first Halloween. Tonight we continue Nicole's series of firsts, and continue the sports theme, taking her to her first football game (Jessica's old high school). She likes watching football at the bar on Sundays, so she should enjoy it tonight.

Here are pictures from Halloween and Bubby & Grandpa's visit.
