Getting Ready for Planting Season!

Last week I took the kids over to the shop to hang out with Daddy and run around. We are enjoying the new sunshine that Spring seems to be bringing us. Bo loved to see all the tractors, semi's, and sprayer, Daddy has them looking all shinny are ready to go!. It's been a long winter and we are ready for planting season to get under way, hopefully sooner rather than later this year!

Fun with Finger Paint & Kennedy!

OUCH!!!

This just makes me hurt thinking about it! Hope she is still this flexable later in life, cause I sure wasn't!!!

10 months old

Gracie is now 10 months old! She is such a joy in our lives. She is so sweet, content, and quiet! She loves to talk to you and babble, dada! She is now crawling and loves to follow Bo all around the house. She has just started to pull up onto things, she gets to her knees and bounces. She will stand holding on if you help her up. Gracie has two bottom teeth and on both sides of those the others are pushing there way through. She loves to eat table food and is still on baby food. It won't be long and we will be ready to celebrate her 1st Birthday!!

Bathroom Upgrade

Got the bathroom updated! It was fun to plan and see the changes. One thing left to do is flooring hoping to do that in the near future, NO more carpet!!

Hermie and Buzby

Well it has been two months that these cats have been hanging out by our door. I am NOT a cat person what-so-ever so we will see how long they last. But we finally named them thanks to Aunt Jo-Jo and Kennedy!

Bo has become very interested in them, they are here daily and are just our stray barn cats. Bo wants to know where they are when they aren't by the door and we just tell him they went for a walk. He loves to talk to them and play with them through the door. Today we went outside to play in the snow for a little while and they came up to us. I am not so sure about this, I like them when they run away from you! For a change Bo didn't seemed to bothered by them, (usually gets tense and screams when animals come up to him).

Gracie scooted over by the door the other night and started jambering to them and was so happy to watch them play with her through the window. I am thinking more of a dog this summer?? We will see what Daddy says?? The one thing that I do like about them is that we haven't had ANY mice this year at all in the house!!!!!!

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!
