9 months!

 

It's creeping up y'all.....the doctor was talking about our next visit being 12 months and I almost started crying! I remember how fast it went with Lucas but my gracious. This is insane! 


She..........

...is playing peek a boo

...is waving, clapping and loves to point

...took one step on July 13th, took 3 steps on Aug 8th and as of August 22nd at just 9 months old, she is officially walking - our earliest one!

...loves to climb the stairs

...is finally rolling back to belly (I'm not sure why I really wanted this because it makes everything difficult 😂) 

...is talking up a storm, saying ma-ma, da-da (said mama FIRST 😉😍😂)

...has a growing personality (AKA: attitude)

...has three new teeth - total of 5 now with #6 days away

...is eating three meals a day and drinking milk before sleeps (taking two naps currently)

...goes to bed around 7:30pm and SOMETIMES wakes once in the night

...is 17.45lbs and 26.77inches long


The doctor was incredibly impressed with her. She was standing up and squatting down when she walked in on us. She said she was a showoff, already doing some of her 12 month milestones and because of that, didn't know what she'd be doing at that point to impress her - probably speaking in full sentences 😂



We are all smitten with her as much today as the first day!!!

Our July!

 

Our first month of summer was full & fun!!!


She's lost her puppy chunk and fluffy fur!

The boys played soccer twice a week.....

I'm so proud of how they both grew through it!

The kids and I took a road trip with my parents.....

The mission:

The attack:

The second cousins!

I'm the youngest first cousin and here's Bonnie, the oldest!

First cousin line-up!

My dad (the youngest on the right), my Uncle (the oldest on the left) and 6 of their sisters (one couldn't make it and one has passed on ❤)! 

Our family tree!!!

The kids played on the playground for 8 hours and turned 
the water black when we got home!

😂😂😂

It was our first big trip since COVID and felt so good!!!


We got a weekend of Ohio friends!

This happened.......😢


Big girl rides!

And a big girl seat!


Quick visits with little sisters are good for the soul 💕

My sister surprised my dad with a visit on his birthday! Brasher had a Christmas in July parade and Nala got to meet her 4-legged cousins!

And more new (old) toys!

We also had two birthday parties that I had a very cranky, teething baby during so......My lack of documentation is never intentional 😬

Here's to August! Already! 

The boys' first VBS, our baby turning 9-months......fitting in ALL the things into every nook and cranny of our remaining summer!
