9 months and walking!

Andrew is 9 months old (since last week) and this morning he showed us he can walk!!

Last week he started letting go of furniture for a few seconds at a time and then this week he has started standing unassisted in the middle of the room for about 10-20 seconds.  This morning he walked pushing his toy across the living room!!

He is always smiling and loves to screech and scream a lot!

He LOVES to eat!  I can't think of one thing we've given him that he hasn't liked!  

He prefers to eat by himself and can slurp down a pouch of baby food so fast!  

His 9 month check-up at the doctor went well!  He's ahead on his milestones and in the 75th percentile for weight, length and head circumference:

Weight:  22 lbs, 2.5 oz

Length:  29 inches

Head:  18 1/4 inches

At 9 months, he:

**still only has 2 teeth on the bottom

**loves to drink out of sippy cups.... he likes to wait until Alexis puts

her cup down and then he goes as fast as he can to get it!

**enjoys bath time, eating, dancing and climbing stairs

**dislikes diaper changes, getting dressed and his car seat

**is wearing size 4 diapers and 12-18 month clothes

This summer is going to be fun with my 2 little monkeys!

In the last post, we had just put our house up for sale.  I am so happy to say that

we accepted an offer!!  We found an awesome house to buy and are currently in the process of negotiating a price!  All I keep thinking is, "I hope we can have Andrew's 1st birthday party at our new house!"

Here's some pictures of my little princess....

Albert texted me this picture one day when I was at work.  She wanted to wear this "dress" to the park.  Little did Alexis (or Daddy!) know, this isn't a dress.... it's pajamas!!!  :)

At least it brought a smile to my face while I was having a bad day at work!

Burger, anyone?

This morning we took a stroll around the neighborhood going to garage sales with Grandma.  

Thank you Grandma and Papa for helping out with the kids so much the past 2 weeks!
