Peace, Peace

I so rarely get to take sleeping pictures of Christopher.
I seized this beautiful opportunity.

9 month portrait, very late in posting!

Goofing Around

Audrey kept jumping on my back and I thought it made for a great photo op. I was wrong...
Where'd she go?

Almost.

There's my girl!

And my boy?

He likes to play upside-down peek-a-boo!

New Words

Christopher has been saying 'Dada' for about a month now. And last week he started saying 'Mama'! I was so happy to hear it. It made all the sleepless nights worth it! Looking forward to hearing so many more from now on!

Rockin' Out and Helpin' Out

Both Christopher and Audrey love playing with the Dora guitar.
It's obnoxiously loud.

And we thank Aunt KK for giving it to Audrey for her birthday! :)

Putting on a concert...

Christopher loves helping Mommy in the kitchen.

And Audrey loves watering the flowers.

Especially with her new watering can from Grandma.

Mother's Day

One day we'll be able to get a good group shot with all the kids.

It'll be a short-lived window because by then they'll be teenagers and not want to cooperate for different reasons!

How cute!

Granny Jo and 4 of her "greats".

Swing time with Grandma and Papa.

Two peas in a pod.

and one cutie!

Climbing on Up

Curiosity and a need to be where everyone else is has completely taken over Christopher.
His new-found mobility has added yet another dynamic to our family.

Audrey is happy to show him how it's done, but doesn't necessarily want him to do it.

9 month Checkup

Christopher had a good check up this afternoon. He is 19 pounds and 11 ounces (40 %) and 29.5 inches (90%). No shots this time so it was a quick and easy visit. Next one is for one year!
