9 Months

Happy 9 months, baby boy.

Time is moving quickly and your birthday is fast approaching  (your FIRST BIRTHDAY!)

You are growing more each day, really starting to play with and enjoy your sister, getting into everything, and keeping me on my toes constantly.




Here are some Fun Facts at 9 months:

  • We keep bathroom doors closed at all times; your favorite new activity is splashing in toilet water  :)
  • You have six (SIX!) teeth
  • You're on a 2/3/3 schedule
  • We transitioned to your convertible car seat
  • You're obsessed with Abigail's Potty book and actual potty (see above!)
  • You're constantly pinch your fingers in the kitchen doors and drawers
  • You have an odd habit of putting your hand in my mouth while nursing (luckily you don't nurse well in public, so we save ourselves the odd looks)
  • You wear size 3 diapers and Abigail wears 5's, but since you wear her diapers at night anyway, I condensed the diaper order to all 5's.  Simplicity is golden.
  • Dad and I went to Walla Walla and spent our first weekend away since you were born (I missed you like crazy!)
  • Father's Day fell on your 9 month birthday, so you and Dad shared the (weird) holiday
  • You love drinking water from cups
  • Thanks to having a big sister, you've tried most every food at this point: eggs, peanut butter, juice, almond milk...
  • You went through a period where you crawled around all day with a golf ball in hand  :)
  • You love cruising over to the family room to play the harpsichord or bang on one of Dad's guitars

You are such a delightful little one; always so happy, friendly, and good natured.

Watching you grow is a JOY.

I love you, GG 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...
