1. Piper just started giving kisses when asked. It is the open mouthed, dead-fish type, but none-the-less she understands and obliges. 
2. She says and waves bye-bye (with a southern accent)
   
3. As mentioned before Piper has 6 teeth.
4. She is walking EVERYWHERE - see video below. 
5. She is quick as a spider monkey when climbing the stairs.
6. LOVES table food, more than she is able to eat actually. We have to start her baby food a little early before she sees us eat b/c she will refuse to eat then - and she really isn't that good at eating everything she THINKS she can eat. Tonight she ate tiny pieces of pizza.
7. Started splashing and playing in the bath rather than just surviving it. 
8. Loves the vacuum - LOVES
9. Can completely destroy a nicely folded basket of laundry in no time flat.
   
10. Said "Daddy, I love you" very clearly... (ok so that one is made up)
    

Sophia and I headed to pets mart where we saw many animals that we now "need". In Soph's mind - ten will be a huge age - it will be the time she can have soda and a pet...i didn't know it, but they sell chinchilla's for pets. And for anyone that wonders - dorothy the fish is still alive and kicking.


Later on, em was feeling a bit stir crazy so we headed out to Target. Somewhere along the way we found a fedora, one thing led to another and then this happened:

Our family has been down with the gunk...Em with strep and an ear infection, Pipes with RSV-esque stuff and an ear infection, Soph with a cold and a nasty cough and me with a cold and an unhealthily large supply of airborne...

BTW - Piper has 6 teeth now and is doing this:

After being away from the girls and em for far too long - the good Lord smiled on us and provided a snow day to recover from a long weekend!
