9 months

I can't believe we are so close to a 1st birthday! What is Matthew doing now??
- crawling EVERYWHERE still
- pulling up and trying to creep a little
- eating everything he can get his hands on to include big people food
- NO teeth
- going to bed on his own
- finally taking good naps
- sleeping all night FINALLY
- growing up too too fast
- smiling all the time
- loving his brother
- attached to mommy


Here is Jackson at 9 months too!

Nana and Family come to visit!

David's mom, her sister, and 2 of her daughters came out for a visit this past weekend. I really enjoyed the company and the boys loved the extra attention!

My Little Cowboy

Lots Of Standing Going On

to get his brother up from his nap,

wanting to get back in the tub with his brother,

hoping brother will share his snack,

and trying to figure out how to get out there to pull those big doggie ears!

9 Month Well Baby....a little early

We had Matthew's Doc Appt today although we still have 2 weeks until he is 9 months. But they had the appt and it was a good time, so we took it! I doubt he is going to change that much in 2 weeks anyway!

His stats are:
17 pounds even and 27 inches long!
He is growing but he is low in his precentile with others his age. They aren't concerned b/c he eats good and he is a healthy little guy!

Here he is at the Doc


And more exciting news is that Jackson was weighed and he has FINALLY hit 30 pounds! YAY! I didn't think he would ever get there! Oh and he didn't want his picture taken....he is too cool for the camera these days!

Pool Time!

We have finally gotten a little hot out here....I actually had to turn on the AC a couple days ago. But I have NEVER lived anywhere that I could have the windows open for 2 months! It was a little slice of heaven!
So today I got out the pool....I am not brave enough to take 2 kids, ages 3 and 8 months, to a pool by myself! This will be a Saturday event with Daddy!


Jackson was throwing a fit over something....surprise surprise I know!

He was much happier out in his pool!

Matthew mostly hung out in his walker in the shade! We actually lasted out there for an hour without major breakdown!

Standing everywhere

This kiddo is standing all the time....holding onto the couch, pulling up on my pantsleg as I am trying to cook or wash bottles, up on the side of the tub waiting for his brother to get out, up in his crib when he wakes up! He has even gotten brave a couple times and has let loose of what he was holding and he stands for a couple seconds before plopping down! Growing up so so fast!
