Julia is 9 months!

Julia went to the doc a few weeks ago for her 9 month visit. Beautiful and healthy as always, but this time they exclaimed, "Julia, you're on the charts!". She has finally dropped down the the 90th percentile for weight :)


Now weighing 22 pounds and is 27 and a half inches tall. Julia enjoys crawling, kneeling, pulling up to standing, singing, dancing and clapping. In five minutes that girl can have all toys scattered across the room. She loves the mega blocks and basket of balls. She now looks at me and says Ma-ma. The sweetest sound in the world! And her hair is as wild as ever. I've started blow drying it and I plan to trim it soon. I'm also considering earings, any advice? Kale wants nothing to do with that!












My little man

Ryan has been so fun lately. I thought that I would tell of few stories of his cuteness. Everyone knows that I just love him, but here are a few reasons why.


Last week, Ryan woke up crying. So Kale went in his room, got him, and brought him to me. I was still in bed. Ryan snuggled up next to me, looked into my eyes, smiled, and said "I love you". I mean seriously! How precious is that?


The other day, I went into Ryan's room. Got my good morning hugs and kisses and then turned to get his clothes out of the closet. This is what I heard from behind, "mommy pretty". I was like, "awwh, Ryan! I love you!" He's just the sweetest!


Yesterday we went to the doc for Flu shots. Ryan went first and screamed. Crying now, the nurse asked if she could put a band aid on it. He asked her to put it on his nose. She thought that was really cute. He talked about the band aid he got on his nose all day. Not about the sticker or the lolly pop, but the band aid on his nose!


My last story, for now:

I started helping in the church nursery on Wednesday nights. So, Ryan and Julia come with me. Well, 2 weeks ago Ryan heard a 10 minute story about Jonathan and David and learned a song. Last night before church I asked Ryan if he remembered what Miss Dee taught him in church. He showed me 2 fingers and said "stick together". I think that was part of the song. How does he remember that? I don't know, but it was really cute!


And of course this post would not be complete without a picture of my little darling :


Here he is thoroughly enjoying his Thanksgiving meal :)
