discipline...a new experience

I was a little late with posting Elaina's 9 month photos, and wouldn't you know she's already 10 months old?! She decided she was finished with taking pictures:

We finally got a gate. It's no "Gatekeeper 3000", but I'm a huge fan! It's a walk-through gate that can be opened hands-free. I especially love this feature in the morning when I'm carrying three bags (two are mine, one is Elaina's) and an ~18lb. baby out to the car.

Since Matt is responsible for the following picture, I really should have let him add the comment. I honestly don't even know what to say. His sense of humor kills me. :)

Elaina's newest face usually appears just before she spits her food out (very forcefully) at the person feeding her.

When we tell Elaina "no-no" (for doing things like spitting her food out), she just shakes her head no and keeps doing whatever we're trying to get her to stop doing.

Me: "Elaina, did you make this mess?"
Elaina: "Hee, hee!"
I'm sure there are more fun stories to come of us trying to get our little one to behave. This is a new experience for us, and I'm not sure I'm going to be very good at it!
