10 Months



10 crazy fast months have gone by with this munchkin!
Here's what's been up this month...
- 2 new teeth (7 total now)
- crawling, climbing, and standing
- lots of jibber jabber. He loves to make "sssss" sounds like a snake 
and say da da, although he obviously doesn't know what it means yet. 
- as his hair grows in we've noticed he's got some curl going on in the back
- loves his binky
- has really taken an interest in books. His favorites are the touch and feel books.
- has become a great eater. favorites are yogurt and peaches
- gets in to everything! 
Loves to take the covers off the floor air vents, play in the dog dish, pull the books off the shelf, unroll the toilet paper, etc. 
- wearing 12-18 mo. clothes, size 4 diapers, and still hates getting dressed or diaper changed
- loves dogs
-made his first bite marks on the crib 
- learned to wave

* I found this little green chair at an antique store in Iowa before Ames was born. My mom noticed it even says it was made in Iowa on the bottom. A little momento from his birthplace that will find a home in his new room.

Client Progress

These lovely clients of mine just bought their first house after finishing medical school and we are having so much fun decorating it! We started with the living/dining room which is almost complete, and then we will be moving to the family room and office.  I think many people believe interior design happens quickly and you have to spend a lot of money all at once.
