9 Months Already???

Where has the time gone?? It doesn't seem possible that Hannah is 9 months old already. It goes by way too fast.

She seems to be doing something new everyday. She is a master crawler and she is fast! She cut her 6th tooth this week. She pulls to stand on anything and everything. Including any person who has stopped moving for a moment. She has recently started testing her balance skills by letting go of the couch or whatever she is holding on to and just standing for a bit. She will be an early walker no doubt. She has learned to drink from a straw and thinks that is pretty fun. Since she has been moving so much, she has thinned out some and some clothes that were too small for her, are now fitting again. She likes to growl. She is into repeating things. If you blow into her face, she will blow back. If you blow raspberries at her, she copies you. Over and over again. It is really funny. She can also sign "More". It isn't the traditional sign, but it is a start. And mom and dad know what she is doing, so that is all that matters really.

She is such a loving and happy baby and her smile just brightens any room she is in. Her and her big brother are so funny together and love each other so much.

I feel so blessed to have such great kids!!


As always, here are some recent pictures....

Success

This isn't the best of the worst pictures of his crossing eyes, but it was the best I could come up with right now. The picture in his new helmet was taken yesterday and when I looked at it I can really see the difference.

Hannah Update

Hannah is all over the place these days! She turned 8 months last Monday. She is now a crawling machine. She used to get around really well before, but not the traditional crawling method. Now that she has figured it out, she is a pro!

She is also pulling to stand. She is still a little wobbly, but she loves to do it and spends a good portion of her day trying to master this skill.

Here are some new pictures of her from the last few days:













I'm gonna get you brother!!!!

Zachary Update

Zachary is doing much better. We just got back from the eye doctor and she said his eyes are looking great. They are perfectly straight which is what we want. His mood and energy level have been back to normal for quite some time. We will continue with him wearing glasses for now to help continue to weak eye to work harder.

He went back to school today. He just can't do outside recess. They were all very happy to have him back.

Here is a picture of him saying "Cheese" for the camera yesterday:

I'm Spoiled

I am about to get off work and I am thinking to myself ....

ALL my laundry is done. That is a huge chunk of my weekend time taken care of.

My house is picked up.

Dinner is ready when I get home tonight.

I have the best mom ever. She has been at my house all week taking care of Zach and she can't sit still so she did all my chores!

Yay for awesome Moms!!!!!

I think Lola the guinea pig is ok with her picture being shared.
