Camryn's 9 month Appt.

Yesterday I took Cami to her 9 month appointment and let me just tell you, she is anything but underweight :) 24.6 lbs! AND 30.5 inches...my kids are going to tower over me. I can just see it...we'll all be lining up for family pics and everyone will be like "where's mom? Oh, she's waaay down there, we may want to move out of the way or get her a really big stool to sit on!"
Oh well, there are worse things than to have kids who loooove to eat, right?
Let's see, at 9 months she is:
1. Crawling
2. Teething - 4 teeth on top, 2 on bottom with 1 coming in now
3. Pulling up - only to her knees
4. Standing with support
5. Picking up cheerios with her "pinchers"
6. AND driving her big brother crazy by wanting to play with all his toys!

It's time to go Trick-or-Treating...Zzzzzz!

Next year for Halloween, I am totally taking 1/2 of the day off. There is just too much work to do, getting our kids ready, getting ready for everyone else's kids...so on and so forth. So this year the kids were at my mom's house, which is typical for them since it was Friday and she watches them on Fridays. I foresaw this to maybe causing problems, since Tyler NEVER takes a nap when he is there. I don't blame them (my parents) however, he is just too excited and wants to play outside and get in to everything. He just doesn't stay still long enough to take a nap. If he stopped for 2 seconds, he would probably just fall over from exhaustion...but, like I said...he just doesn't stop. So, I get there and funnily enough, no nap. But he was very alert so I thought "hmmm, he will probably be okay", since he was excited about getting all the candy. We changed them into their costumes so we could get a few pictures and take them straight to Reggie's parents house and then home to pass out candy to the gazillions of trick-or-treaters.
My lil' pumpkin
We found and elephant costume...imagine that!
He loved it!
The only pic I could get of the 2 of them...she was like "what're you doing back there?" He was ready to run away. I had to tell him "mommy's going to count to 3...1...2...snap....3!" He was gone like a rocket :)
Well, we gave him a sucker to have on the way home to pick up daddy. He was out 1/2 way down the road! I tried to wake him up, daddy tried, tutu n papa tried...no luck. oh well, he doesn't really know what he missed anyways! All he cared about was the candy, and we had plenty of that left over...damn diet...
