nine months

Bey Bey!  You're getting so big!



I'm absolutely loving everything about you right now, and it seems like the past couple weeks have brought so much growth.  You are such a social, curious baby.  You love watching people, mimicking their actions (you just started waving this week), and boy can you eat!

Here are some fun things you're up to:

  • You're teething on everything and have cut both top and bottom teeth, as well as both K9's (yes, K9s- ha!)
  • 9 month baby stats: 28.75" (65%) and 17lbs, 1.5oz (9%)
  • You're crawling (off your tummy) everywhere and pulling up on EVERYTHING!
  • You love laughing and being tickled
  • You can't stay put during a diaper change to save your life
  • You love eating any food you feed yourself.  Favs: cheerios, pizza crust (or any bread), yogurt dots, avocado, ground beef, and watermelon
  • You're finally sleeping un-swaddled (I thought the day would never come), but lovin' on your paci now more than ever (I think it's the teeth)
  • You started waving this past weekend.  It's ridiculously cute.
  • If we're spoon feeding you and ignore you for just a moment, you scream to remind us you're still there and hungry

You are such a happy, engaged baby.  I think a lot of your personality is built into your birth order: yelling to get attention, engaging with everyone, and super social.    You're so much fun.

You make me smile every single day, Bey, and I love being your Mommy.

Happy 9 months, baby boy.

Minnie

I knew this would be a hard post to write, so I've been putting it off. On Monday morning, we said goodbye to Minnie. After months of weight loss I brought her into the vet early this week.    I had been noticing the weight loss, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I started to see how skinny and malnourished she was getting. The vet determined she was suffering from late-stage hyperthyroidism and her kidneys were shutting down.  It was a painful assessment; why I didn't notice it earlier and help her?  That thought still haunts me. But at 11am on Monday morning, through a mountain of tears, regret, and sorrow, I bid farewell to the most loyal friend I've ever known. Minnie,  You were the first piece to my "own" family.  I remember vividly the day I got you.  It was my 21st birthday and Rebecca and Steph came over bearing a gift (more specifically, a brown grocery bag).  I opened it and looked inside; there you were,...

Lake Wenatchee

Happy Birthday, Kevin! We spent an awesome 4 days on Lake Wenatchee this past weekend; relaxing by the lake, (attempting) to fish, playing in the water, and enjoying quality time together as a family.  Our parents joined us on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Kevin's birthday; a wonderful day full of family, food, and the great outdoors. Weekend highlights include Fish Lake on Friday (Abigail and i will not be invited back for the next fishing adventure...we may have mangled the line more than once), a trip into Leavenworth for pizza and dancing at the gazebo, a steak feast for Kevin's birthday, and relaxing by the bonfire that evening. Here are some pictures of our trip. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle While Kevin fished, Abigail and I fed Parmesan garlic pita chips to the ducks. At one point, we had a crowd of 10! Ladies of leisure on the lake  :) This sums up our fishing experience... Thursday evening f...
