John- 9 Months Old!

9 Month Stats

*17 lbs. 8 oz. 

* 27.5 inches long

I can't believe that our John John is 9 months old already!!  How did that happen?! The next few months need to go much more slowly! All of the sudden he seems more like a little boy and less like a baby.  He is scooting all over the place on his tummy.  I don't know if he will ever crawl on his knees.  He moves very quickly on his tummy and can get exactly wherever he wants to go.  He doesn't quite pull himself up yet, but he does like to stand while holding onto furniture.  He says Dada, and eating all sorts of foods now with his fingers, although he still has not teeth.  

Emilie is 3!

Emilie is three.  Wasn't she just born?  Tiny and purple and wrinkly?
She is hilarious at 3.  She's so proud to be 3.  She proudly announced to Jason's Aunt the other day at dinner, "Guess what?!  I'm 3!!  I'm not 2 anymore!!!"  She's fiery and extremely verbal and smart as a whip and does not miss a beat.  She's fiercely loyal to her sister and is John's very best friend.  She's sweet and cuddly and speaks her mind.  Do not wake this one up from a nap.  Hell hath no fury.

Wednesday morning she woke up to sprinkle donuts for breakfast and brought cookies to all of her friends at school.  We had dinner with Grandma and Grandpa on her birthday night.  As is tradition on your birthday in our house, the birthday girl chose the menu- mac and cheese and broccoli.  Grandma and Grandpa got her a new purple scooter, which she loves.

She had a pancakes and pi's party on Saturday morning.  We had great fun!  We decorated pancakes with strawberries, bananas, chocolate chips, sprinkles and syrup.  We made fruit loop necklaces, we played hot pancake (like hot potato) and pancake toss.  We had a panCAKE and sang happy birthday and all the kids wore their favorite pjs.

Saturday afternoon was Marin's dance recital and after that we had a family birthday party back at our house with GG, OG, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Vee, Uncle Bob, Aunt Lindsay, Uncle Jake, Aunt Katy and baby Parker.

The girl can party.
