Makin' her Daddy proud.



Finger Monster

I don't know how I got her. Sometimes people just get lucky.

(And no, I don't need the birds and the bees talk.)

Enjoy the cuteness.

(Look, the lighting can only work for black people or white people. You can't have it all, folks.)

We are having a ward activity tonight where there is going to be some sort of "Family Feud" game. So a survey was sent out for eveyone to answer and there was a part for the kids as well.

Mose'o

A little bit nerdy. Like his Daddy.

lovey

She makes life bright.

2 months from today she will be having a birthday.

I can't really wrap my head around it.

I got extra lucky with this one, my little lovey.

9...OK, almost 10...months

Sadly, Tatey baby keeps growing.

At her 9 month appointment (that was really at 9 mos and 3 weeks) she weighed 17.5 lbs.

She has 0 teeth.

She is standing pretty well on her own.

She is deep into the get-into-ev.e.rything stage. Which of course includes the make-a-million-messes-a-day stage.

She is walking with her toy and all around the furniture. This is the same walking toy that Ava and Mos used. Interestingly, all my babies have walked at around 10 and 1/2 months.

These things take a lot of concentration.

Tate is my first one to say "mama" before she said "dada". She likes to wave and clap. She laughs at Ava and Mos a lot and likes to sneak into their rooms to play. I hate (but sometimes love) the growing up, but I am happy to say that as of now she still growls.

Ava's first time snow skiing

Ava and Matt went skiing in December.  It was Ava's first time skiing. She really enjoyed it and did really well.
