Hide and Seek

We had a very busy afternoon....playing hide and seek!

It's the little Things....

....and this time I do not mean Ian! Friday when my picked up my kiddos up from art class the teacher was wearing this fabulous necklace that caught my eye.


Of course I gave her a compliment on it, and immediately asked where it was from. At first glance I wanted it yesterday! The answer: Lisa Leonard. She emailed the website. Lisa has lots of beautiful handmade jelwery! Check out her site!

Passed Out....

Sunday we went to my Brother and Sister in-laws house for dinner. In the middle of dinner we look over to see this......

Cousin Ryan had passed out bouncin'

Which brought me back the beginning of the summer when E-man was playing so hard he passed out..........

9 months old!

Sorry - we've kinda had a lot going on the past few weeks, errr month! Wow, I cannot believe Ian is already 9 months old. I mean, when did that happen? I swear, I was just taking his picture for 8 months.... oh time, you're just such a trickster!

At 9 months old, Ian:
• Wears size 4 diapers and size 12 - 18 month clothes - big boy!
• Weighs about 21 1/2 pounds!
• Is still CRAZY and will not sit still!
• Still is toothless
• Crawls non-stop (and at a very fast speed), pulls up on everything, climbs up the stairs all by himself, and cruises from one piece of furniture to the next
• Can stand, completely unassisted for a few seconds!!
• Lets out these excited screams alllllll the time.
• Claps his hands, signs "milk", and "more"
• Understands "no", and will shake his head back and forth when he doesn't want something you're trying to give him or when he doesn't want to go to someone else.
• And, although he understands "no", he just laughs at us and keeps heading toward the dog food bowl or the fireplace even though we repeated say, "No sir!"
• Still says "dad", "mama" and "ball" at random times. I think the only one he actually knows the meaning of is "ball"...
• Loves going to Ms. Jennifer’s, and always has a smile when we pick him up.

Happy 9 Months, sweet baby! We love you more than you will ever know. And, were so thankful for each day we get to be your parents. We're so lucky.
