It's Growing!

Grace's hair is getting a little longer and a little longer. She can now have her hair in a pony tail OR pig tails fairly easy. We get requests for this hair style most days. It probably keeps her cool in this hot weather! :)

Just Too Cute

This is by far my favorite picture of my adorable little boy! I just love how cute he is here. This crazy little boy has perfected the art of crawling and now gets whatever catches his fancy. He holds his own bottle now. He is eating all kinds of yummy food, although he is still not too certain about anything that is actually solid. He has his two bottom teeth and has a habit of biting his fingers when he puts them in his mouth. His little face just gets this awful look every time he does it. He still always has his smile on his face and is the most contented baby I have ever met. He just amazes me! I am so glad God blessed us with this precious little fella!!!

John is 9 Months!

My baby boy is 9 months old already! Where has the time flown? I took him into town today for his 9 month pictures. Of course I was worried about whether he'd be hungry or tired or a million other things. Once again, he didn't fail me...he was a perfect angel! I had a blast with my "John" time. These are 5 of the pictures we decided on buying. (So, if you want a pose...let me know what you want.) I will let the best pose have it's own post though. :)

Feet

This little girl has always had an obsession with feet. I didn't take the time to look up the pictures, but I have a picture of her drinking her bottle with her feet and another of her eating cheerios with her feet. I have a picture still on the camera (from this last week) with her putting her feet in some tupperware (because it looked comfortable?) so she can wear them as shoes...didn't work very well. She puts her feet on the table (and gets in trouble), she puts her feet on dishes, she was trying to put her feet in the cookie dough when she was making cookies with Grandma Tucker. But here she is using her foot as a bag holder. She sat there for like 5 minutes just holding it...then I got the camera and she wanted it off. She is so crazy! I think her job someday will involve feet. :)

Rascal!

John is becoming quite the little rascal. We sometimes have to prop his bottle up (he's pretty good at holding it himself now) for him to be able to get all the milk. This day daddy laid a roll of paper towel under the bottle. John finished the bottle and then moved straight into play time!

That being said, at this point in time we will have to start keeping the paper towel roll OFF the floor completely as John decided yesterday that he had the crawling thing down enough that he can get where he wants. It's more of a lift my body and fall forward type thing, but it gets him where he wants now. Watch out world!

Mesmerized

If you look really hard (you might have to click on the picture to make it big) you can tell how mesmerized by the fire John is. He just stared and stared. I think he would have gone closer if mommy would have let him. I'm glad that he isn't crawling yet!

Comparing Milk

Dani and John both got hungry about the same time. Don't they look so cute just chililng and eating next to each other? Dani is 5 weeks older than John and her mom is a good neighborhood friend of mine, so they will get to know each other a little better through the years. :)

Can't Leave Grace Out!

She probably downed almost the entire can of pop...which was originally her dads.

Then she was playing on the chair with Carter. I thought for sure they were gonna flip this thing over.

This picture looks worse than it is. She really isn't sadistically laughing as she tortures this poor child. I was trying to get a picture of her HUGGING Lauren, but Lauren managed to escape the hug and Grace wanted to hug her again. I never did get a picture of the hug.

And this monster...this is actually a marshmallow! It is probably the size of four big marshmallows put together. Crazy!

Happy; Not So Happy

Libby was having a blast, for the most part, at the bon fire.

But at one point, she was NOT happy. Evidently they gave her a smaller stick than the boys. It made her mad so she went over to pout. When Miss Becky asked her what was wrong she said she was tired of everyone thinking she was little. About that time the boys (one older, one younger) came over and asked, "Miss Becky, what's wrong with that little girl?" It didn't help her anger out any.

Oops!

We went to a bonfire at a neighbor's house. John enjoyed sitting in this little chair and just watching the fire.

But when we picked him up...oops! I really don't know how this happened because when I went to change his diaper, it wasn't really all that wet.
