One year closer to the big 3-0

Dan is 29 today! Happy birthday babe! I don't know what I would do without you in my world!



9 months


Audrey turned 9 months old last week Saturday. She's now officially been on the outside longer than she was on the inside. This month she FINALLY started sleeping much better. Her naps are a lot longer and she almost always sleeps through the night now. It's about time! She's pulling herself up on anything she can get her hands on right now, but also bumping her head on things in the process. She's a pretty rough and tough girl so most of the time when she bumbs her head it doesn't even phase her. She loves to dance whenever there is music playing, and almost anything makes her smile. It's seriously so easy to make her smile. She's such a little sweetheart and she loves cuddling which is going to make it so hard to not be able to hold her much the first couple weeks after my surgery. She has started saying mama. I don't know if she knows what it means though but when she gets upset she says "mamamamama". We also discovered that she LOVES Curious George. Her cousin Zach has a big stuffed Curious George and Audrey loved it! She kept giving it big hugs. Santa might be bringing her one for Christmas.

She went to the doctor for her 9 month check up yesterday. She's getting so big! She is 19 lbs 11 oz (70th percentile) and she is 29 inches (93rd percentile). She had to get the other half of her flu shot. She didn't even notice when the nurse gave it to her. Didn't even flinch. I was really surprised. The nurse was awesome though and did it really fast.

We got our tree this weekend. I wish I would have brought my camera to the tree farm, I could've gotten some cute pictures. It was so snowy on Saturday, which was great. It made it feel more like Christmas. They had hot chocolate and sledding there too. Owen loved sledding. He wanted me to go down the hill with him the first couple times but after that he went all by himself. He left the sled at the bottom of the hill though everytime so we would have to go back down and get it. The price of trees went up this year, but it was still worth it for the experience. Audrey stayed with my mom. It was too cold and windy and she was getting over a cold.




Here's Owen helping Daddy build a fire before Owen had to go to bed. The tree was so covered with snow, we had to put old paint drop cloths under it to catch all the melting snow.

Owen was so funny. He helped put the red and silver balls on but he put them all in one spot! Cracked me up!

And a couple of Audrey standing up in the pack n play. She's pulling herself up on EVERYTHING now!

Very snowy day here! We got a ton of snow. Both kids are getting over colds (and so am I). We have been going through a lot of Kleenex around here.
