Redecorating the Christmas Tree!!

VICTORY!!! It's funny that it's Fritz's ornament, he was smart enough to stay clear of me and the other boys during this evening's activities.

I have it :)

Mom tried to stop me.......

but the temptation was too much!!

I spotted a ball on the tree! Then there was no stopping me, Mom's weak attempts at saying NO, was a minor set back but as you can see by the look on my face I am determined!

Jager and Schupo were very good.

I wasn't behaving to well.

Mom was trying to get pictures of me with the boys, needless to say I wanted no part of it, there were to many things to be done.

Mom's eyes

A poor attempt at a self portrait, but the dogs haven't been trained to take our picture so we had to try it ourselves!

Here she is, with and without glasses...

The story is, Mom had been getting headaches and decided to get her eyes checked. It's pretty simple really, she has slight astigmatism in her eyes, which causes the flourescent lights to bounce off her eyes at an angle-thus causing the headaches. Also she's near sighted, which has been going on for a while (she blames pregnancy). But she now realizes that it is not normal for digital numbers and words on TV to have halos.

December 6th - Peas and Carrots

Today I'm eating peas and carrots. They didn't have to be put in the magic bullet or mashed, I was able to pick up and chew them by myself! It was fun, after a while though I started getting full, which made be bored, and I started a game of throw the peas to the shorthairs.

The boys thought they were hiding from mom.

As you can see, I am getting pretty good with my pincer grasp and can feed myself quite well.

Right about here is when I started to get bored!!

9 month check-up 12/4/08

Hi all,

Just a quick note to let you know I had my 9 month check-up; and I'm right on track with all of my developmental milestones. I have teeth number 6 and 7 coming in, one on the bottom and one on the top. So far so good, I haven't been too fussy. At my Dr's visit, I weighed 21lbs (80th percentile), 30" long (97th percentile) and my head circ. is 18" (90th percentile). So I'm growing and progressing normally.

I'm very active and moving from the moment I'm awake until I pass out. My favorite thing these days is MOM. I've started to cry now when she leaves me at home to go to work. (Dad says I cry until the door closes then I'm off to something else). I've also learned to slam my legs down on the floor at the same time when something makes me mad. Needless to say I've only done it once, I quickly learned NO and mom doesn't let me throw fits anymore. It's hard for her to be serious when she's saying no, sometimes she bursts out laughing--then getIs back down to business in explaining to me the million reasons why I can't throw a fit.

I love eating steamed veggies, scrambled eggs, and soft fruit (baked apples and pears are among my favorite). The dogs have figured out that I make messes and my meal times are their favorite times of day--mom makes them wait in the living room, but I throw a little extra on the floor anyway.....

I'm off to bed, hopefully I'll get some pics up this weekend.
