Says First Word:  "Hi" on March 17

Rocks Forward onto Tummy:  April 24

9 months old:

Weight:  17 lb, 4 oz

Length:  

Notes:  Sits unsupported for as long as you let her, and will rock herself forward to her belly.  But, b/c she doesn't like being on her belly, her smiles promptly turn to wails.  She does however, like to stand so we've been giving her lots of "standing time" rather than "tummy time".  She may be one of those babies that skips crawling and goes right now walking.  Not sure I am ready for that, though.  :(  She is getting much more hair...so her bow's don't look as ridiculous.  ;)   Has been babbling for awhile, but we now hear "hi" and "bye-bye" frequently.  One of Lucas' favorite things to do with Kate is sit beside her saying "bye, bye, bye, bye" until she repeats it to him.  It's adorable.  We have also heard "ma-ma" and "da-da" come out a couple of times.  Could be coincidental, but they were appropriately used.  Her digestion issues have eased up considerably, and we were able to avoid another trip to the surgeon.  Perhaps this is due to the HIGH fiber breakfast concoction I made for her, consisting of a mixture of pear, strawberries and oatmeal cereal!  She is quite regular now.  LOL

Top Left Tooth Came in:  April 30, 2011 

Lucas is 2!!

OK...so this is a VERY long overdue post, especially consider Luke is going to be three in less than two weeks.  Oops...such a bad mommy, blogger, mommy-blogger!  Man, sometimes life just gets in the way of blogging.  But, I'd much rather be living life than just watching it pass me by, so if I have to "catch-up" on some blogs here and there (a lot more "here" recently, I will admit), that's fine with me.  This blog is more of a memory book for me anyway!  :)  I am going to back date this though, so it fits into the time correctly.  Hehe  Oh my goodness, doesn't he look like such a little baby still?!?  I think when I took this picture I thought he looked like such a big boy, but now...not so much.

So...on to Luke's 2nd birthday.  Of course it was a train party.  As is customary, we had a party at our house and invited all of the boys little friends, and several of mommy and daddy's too.  Because let's be honestly...at this age, the parties are really for Mommy and Daddy, right?  I don't think Lucas really even knew it was his birthday, except for the fact that we sat him in front of a cake and sang Happy Birthday to him.  :)
