Nine Month Mark







The little guy is getting big and I can tell when I carry him around the house. He has a new (3rd) tooth up top. So there's lots of drooling and chewing.

We started Book Babies at the library yesterday. The leader is great with kids; very outgoing. She leads us in songs with motions and she reads to the babies. There were about 9 babies in the class. Our little one danced a little, laughed a little, and looked around at everything (expecially the leader).

We are still going to the pool party once a week. Yesterday I took him out of his floating and we went surfing on a skin board- type thing. He had lots of fun on the new toy.

He is pulling himself up to a standing position. He's good at it in the crib and with parental help, but not so great pulling up on furniture. But it's only a matter of time.

We are having so much fun this summer. We hope everyone is staying cool and having fun too.

Summer Days







We've been doing much of the same. Tuesdays are pool days. It's been hot so the stroller rides are at the mall or in the evening. Matthew goes down to the pond to see the fish and turtles (the neighbors feed them bread) in the afternoon when there's shade near the shore.

We went to the library, for the first time, last Monday. They were having a quilt show so we looked around and read some books. We had lots of fun. They have an infant story time so we marked our calendar to check it out.

He is crawling all around the house. The cat, Squirty, likes to park it about 4 feet away and when the little one gets his tail he'll move 4 more feet. We try to encourage him to be gentle with the kitty.
