9 Months

9 Months

 

I'm going to sound like a broken record again, but I can't believe it's been 9 months since Elliott entered our lives.  Someone asked me in the store the other day how old he was and I had a hard time saying "9 months."  It sounds so old.  He's no longer a little baby!  He weighed 25lbs 4ozs (91%) and stood 29.5 inches talls (83%). 

 

Favorite Things:

Reading "Little Blue Truck" with Dad before bed time

Passing balls back and forth (yes, he will actually pass it back to you now!)

Getting into everything he's not supposed to

Crawling up the stairs

Pulling himself up to anything and everything

Swimming!

5am - wake up and take 6 oz bottle, fall back asleep

Weekend With Mimi and Pops

Weekend With Mimi and Pops

 

My dad and Mary came down for the weekend to get some Elliott time!  They helped us finish the spare bathroom, took Elliott swimming, and did some shopping! What a fun weekend

 

The one who can't swim is teaching Elliott how to swim... :)

He does not like being on his back!

Fun Weekend

This weekend was our first weekend home with no plans in a long time so we took full advantage of spending time together as a family!
 

 

Helping Mom cook

Adding a whole new dimension to yoga

I'm not sure this is what "Mother and Baby" yoga is supposed to be?

Mmm...yogurt!

New book from John Lemen in Texas

First time swimming.  He was a little skeptical at first, but after he warmed up he was having the time of his life.

Sooo much fun!!



The World Is Mine To Explore

The World Is Mine To Explore

 

I finally got sick of rolling around to get places so I decided to give in and try this thing called "crawling." Pretty much everyone has been trying to get me to do it the last 4 weeks so I figured there must be something fun about it.  Oh man were they right!!  I can get from one end of the room all the way over to the end of the room in just a few seconds.  And the best part...I can now get all those things that Mom and Dad don't want me to play with.  Outlets. Space heater. Laptop. Phones. Remotes.  So I figured why stop with crawling?  I pulled myself up in my crib the next day and I crawled up the stairs 2 days later.  Unfortunately, I heard Mom saying something about "gates." I'm not sure what those are but it can't be good.
