Bo 2 1/2 years old

Can't believe my little man is 2 1/2 already. He is learning so much everyday and can be so fun to play with (when we aren't tired or sick)! Bo also had his well check today. I was a little concerned b/c he has been complaining that his hair hurts (headaches). Talked with the Dr today and he couldn't see or hear anything that would be causing this so he just suggested to write down every time he complains about it and then how long it seems to last. So we will see, hope this is nothing.

Some of Bo's favorites at this age:

Curious George (the show and his stuff CG monkey), Super Why?, Veggie Tales. He is still very much into his tractors and "going to work." He really loves to sit and do puzzles, Play-Doh, and reading books. He is really into playing with is animal toys and he loves when daddy comes home and they play chase! Also playing hide-n-seek he always love to go find you! He favorite saying right now is "oh my goodness!"

Bo weighed in at 30 lbs (50%)

Height was 35 1/2 (50%)

Gracie 9 months old

Gracie is 9 months old on Thursday. She is growing so fast I almost don't know where the 6-9 month time went. As you can see from the pictures she is a very happy and content little girl. All of these expressions show her personality! We went for her well check today and she only had to have a finger prick and some blood samples. She is right on or a little ahead so we are thankful for that.

Some of Gracie's favorites right now are:

Food wise: anything but peas, she is eating a little table food, cheese, crackers, chicken, noddles or whatever she can pick up with those tiny little fingers!

Gracie is rolling ALL over the place, has got up on all four but has not crawled yet (which is fine with mama) OH and she is saying that Mama, that was her first word and I was so thrilled to hear it. She is chewing on everything and has two bottom teeth and we can see the top right one just below the gums!

She loves talking with Bo and he sure can get her going! They really to play so well together hope this continues.

She weighed in at 18 lbs 13 oz (50%),

Height was 27 1/4 in (40%) last time I think they were WAY off cause it (90%)

Head (50%)

Playing Cowboy!

I just love how creative Bo is starting to play, not only with this but when he plays with his farm toys, animals, kitchen set... I just want to capture these moments one way or another! He is at such a fun stage!

Working on my 1st tooth!

Gracie has been working on her first tooth for about 3 weeks. It first appeared the day she turned 8 months (Dec 28th) and we can finally see it when she smiles! She is now working on her 2nd tooth and we can feel it just below the surface! She has had a cold and lots of drool with these teeth. Bo always got a severe sore throat and high fevers while getting his teeth, but he also got 2-4 at one time. Her's look like they might come 1 at a time and not be as severe on her body (fevers, sore throats.....) So happy teething to us!

House pet...

So this is as close to a pet that Bo or any of our other children will ever get to having one in the house! He got this in his stocking from Mimi and Pawpaw and loved watching it grow for 4 days!

day 1

day 4

(and it will shrink back down so we can regrow!)

Winter Wonderland

This is the first year we really have taken Bo outside to play in the snow and he LOVES it. I am hoping by the end of the week the weather will be more towards the 30's so we can enjoy the snow fall that is outside right now. Right now the weather is a little above 0 and I am not even thinking about going out in it!

Early Start...

I bought this outfit before Bo was even born, hoping that one day I would have a little girl to put it on! I hope that she will enjoy athletics as much as I have no matter what she plays!
