It's a Bird, It's a Plane...

Yep, it's a plane. :)

Playing Dirty

That's our Wesley... Always a tease. :)

Addie's 9 Month Stats & Pics

Addie's been growing up so quick lately. She's still crawling all over the place. Mostly on her belly, but she likes to get up on all fours and crawl around too. She's learned how to climb up stairs. She's also pulling herself up on things. She loves the cats and for some odd reason likes to pull out their hair and try to put it in her mouth. I'm hoping that she realizes that there are better things to eat soon and I'm sure the cats agree with me. At her 9 month check-up she was 15 pounds, 14 ounces (8th percentile) and 28" in length (65th percentile).

Little Miss Sunshine

I love walking into Addie's room in the morning and waking up to her smiley face. It somehow makes me temporarily forget about how many times I had to get up during the night or how bad I really want to crawl back into bed. I wish I would have taken a picture of Wes in his crib first thing in the morning at this age. I miss seeing him smiley in the morning since it appears he has taken after his mommy and isn't such a morning person.



The day after I took her smiley face picture I woke up to this sight. Needless to say her crib mattress was lowered for her next nap. :)

Driving Lessons

Step 1: Get the low down on the controls and rules of the road. It helps to have a big brother that has been around the car for a few years and knows it in and out. Listen well and then buckle up.

Step 2: Start out slow and easy. Take your big brother up on his offer to add some horse power. This allows you to just sit back and enjoy the ride. Make sure to let out some giggles so that he knows his hard work is appreciated.
Step 3: Allow Mommy to squeeze you into a tiny Cozy Coupe for a photo opp. to document this lovely milestone.

Step 4: When you are sick of your Mom saying, "Look at Mommy," proceed to grab your uncooperative sibling's head and point it towards the camera.

"Thanks for the assistance, Buddy. Now can you please let go of your sister's head before she starts crying?"

And the Drama Begins

Daddy's Boy

Wesley is still a HUGE daddy's boy.  I was hoping for a mommy's boy phase to come along, but I don't think it is going to happen anytime soon.  I'm hoping Addie will at least have some mommy phases.  :)

On Your Mark, Get Set, Go!
